Airport Restaurant Report: A motion to approve the airport restaurant report as presented was made by Dan Lanzer and seconded by John Marsh.

Monthly Revenue Update: The monthly revenue update was presented by Larry Lowdermilk. Cash position balance at the end of April was $32,917.89 • Airport Maintenance- Equipment: Balance of $8,298.06 • Airport Maintenance- Facilities: Balance of $9,105.00 • Airport Capital Improvement- Hangar Maintenance: Balance of $8,000.00 o Expense of $1,000.00 for portable restroom paid to MT Services • Airport Capital Improvement- Maintenance: Balance of $10,000.00 • Airport Capital Improvement: Balance of $5,000.00 • Airport Consulting Services: Balance of $7,222.54 The $1,000 payment for the portable restroom was charged to the wrong account. This should have been charged to the Airport Maintenance- Facilities Account (3502). The cash balance does not add when adding the individual account balances together. This could be because of encumbered balances but more information is needed. Motion to approve the Monthly revenvue update was made by Dan Lanzer and seconded by John Marsh. Bob Bedard abstained. Consultant’s Report: Yamini Gowda reported that a motion was required to authorize Michael Baker International to compile and submit the grant closeout to the FAA for the Taxilane design and CA. A motion was made by Dan Lanzer and seconded by Brian Marsh II. Yamini Gowda presented updates on Task Orders #08, #09, #11, #12 which are all contained in the submitted report. A discussion was had about the airport terminal and what grants may be available to remodel or build a new terminal. Yamini reported that an Airport Terminal Grant application was submitted on March 28, 2022. Bob Bedard asked if there were other grants or money available to go after for the terminal? Bob referenced an article that he read about the DeFuniak Springs Municipal Airport who received $6.9 million from the FAA and Florida DOT to build a new terminal. DeFuniak is a relatively small airport to receive such a large grant. Other Business: Chairman Kennedy reported that he was contacted by someone who performs maintenance on hangar doors to see if the airport had a need. Chairman Kennedy would like to have them review and quote replacing some of the bearings on a few hangars that are having issues. Larry Lowdermilk reminded everyone to make sure that purchase orders are getting submitted in a proper and timely fashion. Having no further business to discuss, a motion was made by Councilman Seldenright to adjourn at 6:32pm. Respectfully submitted, Brian Marsh II
