Discussion from Mr. Kennedy as to timing of Grants and design/build/construction start to Yamini.
As this was pushed back from 2022 by the FAA into 2023 it apprears we would not start construction
until Sept/Oct 2023 at the earliest. Mr. Kennedy emphasized to Yamini to get this process started so as
to not push it back into 2024 if possible. Funding is usually not authorized until Sept each year but came
come out as early as July and Mr. Kennedy would like to see if we could push this forward as early as
possible. Yamini agreed to look into this request.
There was some discussion by the committee on the NOFO for airport terminals. It would be nice to get
a chunk of monies like Newark Heath to build a new terminal, but this round of funding must be
submitted by Oct 24th, 2022 and we have no plan at the present. Something to look into in the future.
Yamini was advised to contact the Mayor for authorization to submit Quarterly report to FAA.
Dennis Snyder-Pilot- was in attendance and asked about possible crack sealing of the Taxiways. The city
will see if they have any more crack sealing materials to apply to the East End(33End) of the taxiways
prior to winter.
Motion by May, seconded by Lanzer to approve the Airport Consultants Report. Motion carried.
Having no further business to discuss, Motion to adjourn at 6:58 by Mr. Bedard.
Respectfully submitted:
Donald R Kennedy Jr – Chairman – NP Airport Commission
