Motion passed unanimously (5-0). Consultant’s Report: The Consultant’s Report was presented by Yamini Gouda. There was a discussion regarding money that has been rolling over for the past few years to cover the taxiway relocation or if that would be lost due to the additional $159,000.00 available through the Federal Infrastructure Bill. Yamini stated that this is a separate pot of money. This new money ($159,000.00) can be used to build hangars, but not to support a loan to build additional hangers. Hangars are not eligible with the normally available grant. Don Kennedy asked if the new infrastructure funds can be used to build a hangar pad that could be built upon later on, to which Yamini responded that it could. This has not been included in the ACIP yet; this is a separate CIP. Before we apply for the grant, a 5-year CIP will be due by March 11th. Don will talk to the Mayor to see if it will be possible to pursue building the pad for the hanger now and see if the hanger will be a possibility in four years. A motion to accept the requests as submitted by Michael Baker International including task orders 10 and 11 was made by Dan Lanzer and seconded by Brian Marsh. Motion passed unanimously (5-0). Old Business: Josh Limbacher brought up a discussion on the old PAPI lights. Josh was approached by Beach City Airport with an interest in them. There was a discussion on whether to sell them and for how much to sell them. If they would like them donated, Josh should bring this back to the Airport Commission. New Business: Larry Lowdermilk brought up that there needs to be caution in making sure that all purchases go through the right process of obtaining a quote, then PO, then an invoice. They recently had an invoice from May that did not have a PO yet. Elizabeth brought up that there are floor tiles in the kitchen area that are starting to come up. Dan Lanzer asked if we could hold off until April when we have our full appropriations available. Elizabeth said yes, but she would like us to see the floor before we act. Having no further business to discuss, Motion by Josh Limbacher to adjourn at 6:58pm. Respectfully submitted, Alex McCarthy
