Petrowitz reviewed the monthly status report, noting that things were mostly finished except for the project summary and that the main hold up was FAA approval of elements of the plan document. Discussion moved to identification of projects for which planning or other activities might begin. Consensus was that the following should be initiated:  Planning for a petition (hearing) encompassing things not previously contemplated in the prior petitions, these being the AWOS and Snow Removal Equipment in particular, and anything longer term likely in the final draft of the Master Plan (sometime this Spring) ... TKDA and Omnni to assist, Engel and Isom to lead  Identification of the best and most likely snow removal equipment item ... Mark G. to provide some examples of those available, and recommending we visit a couple example airports to see what they had with a goal of having a hearing/petition sufficiently timely to get in the Summer bidding process the Bureau conducts ... Isom and Bloedorn to lead  Initiating the AWOS process ... Mark suggesting he would discuss the initiation with the individual responsible for AWOS support at the Bureau ... fully understanding of our inoperable remote update and the issues it represents ... Bureau next steps  Initial investigation into where we will likely need avigation easements and a preliminary review by us to get a perspective on the magnitude of the project as relates to both the funded and likely unfunded portions of the obstacle clearance, using the ALP draft information prepared by Omnni in connection with the update ...

Discussion and Approval of Various Actions in Connection with Wisconsin Act 12 and Change in Classification of Private Hangars - Engel Wisconsin Act 12 and related amendments passed in Madison this year eliminate categories of personal property from taxation, and change how leasehold improvements (the privately owned hangars) will be classified, moving them from personal property to real estate. There are special rules for such improvements when located on exempt real estate such as the Airport land. Under Title 12, the appraised value of such improvements is to be applied to the exempt parcel and be identified as taxable improvements. Various options exist for identification of the improvements on exempt land, with the common method being surveyed plat location, but providing for use of existing identification methodologies. Letters have been sent out by Accurate Appraisal to all private hangar owners advising of the change and asking they contact the landowner (Airport in our case) regarding proper identification and valuation allocation. Secretary Engel sent a subsequent email to all hangar owners advising that the Airport Commission would be working with the County to deal with the issue on behalf of all hangar owners and that plans were to continue to use the hangar location numbering system previously used for all lease identification and billing matters, this numbering system being consistent with Airport engineering design and the Master Plan (ALP).

However, he said his brother Scott said it was not required to have light being under 200 feet.

Currently Clarence owns radio in office. Radio in New Holland (owned by airport) only receives, does not transmit. Needs repair. • Also need adequate warning lights installed or replaced on all equipment for safe operations on runways. Page 23 of 34  GROUNDS / EQUIPMENT • 1-3-24 I contacted Highway Light & Landscape for an update on PAPI. PAPI install should take place in the spring. Highway Light requested that “Handhold” covers along runway 30 be identified with stakes so that he can run line in the conduit once snow is on the ground. (Westwood came and marked Handholds on 1-5-24) Paperwork needs to be completed by Highway Light & Landscape for the State before work can begin running wiring through conduit on Rway 30 • Extensive crack repair needs to be considered for pavement. • Snow Removal Plan/policy is in final stages, subject to suggested alterations. Page 24 of 34  GROUNDS CONT….. • Maintenance hangar office build out has begun. • Currently getting quotes for outfitting office with adequate furniture. Page 25 of 34  EQUIPMENT CONT….. THE GOOD, BAD, AND UGLY • So far we’ve been inundated with equipment breaking and immediate repairs happening….. • Jan 5 - Center ram horn was severely worn on International plow. About 1/8th inch metal left at the hinge pin before breaking completely. I arranged Pat Roberts to weld new ½ inch steel plates with new 1” holes. Purchased cold rolled 1” steel rod to fabricate new hinge pins. Repair is done. • Jan 6 - Right side drive chain in Snocrete blower snapped during operations. Reisterer & Schnell was contacted for repair. Repair was completed on Jan 8 th. • Jan 9 - Both original batteries on New Holland went bad. Died on the main runway. Reisterer & Schnell came same day with two new batteries. Alternator found to be bad on New Holland. New alternator ordered by Reisterer & Schnell. Hopefully will be installed Monday the 15 th. • Jan 11 - Left side drive chain on Snocrete blower snapped. Reisterer & Schnell again came and repaired same day. Cotter pin connections on both chains were the problem • Jan 11 - New Holland died again on ramp from battery drain. • Jan 11 - Center ram chain snapped on Dodge pickup plow. Replaced with chain from Maint shop • Jan 11 - Farm equipment rated battery charger and 100’ extension cord purchased from Tractor Supply as airport does not own any. Was needed to get New Holland back in shop. • The condition and age of our current SRE equipment is causing an arterial bleed in the budget. An increasing fear is setting in that any piece of equipment could go down for more than a day to make repairs and because we don’t have an appropriate “go-to” SRE unit to take up slack when one is down, we may, in the future, have no choice but to close the runways and seek outside services. ( I want to avoid this) Equipment is sunsetting whether we like it or not. Costs to maintain are most assuredly going to go up. Page 26 of 34  BUDGET • Budget is going to take quite a hit for January given the amount of immediate repairs that were needed to keep basic operations going. • City Hall doesn’t have the 2024 budget numbers entered into system yet but so far expenses are somewhat as follows: • Utilities - $569.19 (electric bill have yet to come in) • Phone/Internet $39.82 (this is only Managers cell, Nsight bill not in yet) • Professional Serv $90.00 (cleaning bill) • General Expense $550.00 (Synergy) • Supplies Materials $99.25 (Office supplies) • Postage $0.00 • Advertising/Promo $1055.00 (Shawano Country Tourism 2024 ad) • Equipment $0.00 • Repairs / Maintenance $939.77 (at least 3 more bills will arrive from Reisterer and Schnell for Jan) • Gasoline Cost UST $0.00 • Operations Gas 51 gal of diesel and 11 gal of unleaded purchased at County • General Insurance $0.00 Page 27 of 34  FUEL 2023 final tally for fuel sales 9,997 gallons sold in 2023 (107 shrink) 1,056 gallon increase from 2022 Currently in talks with Titan for a “piggyback” delivery of 4000 gallons to coincide with JetAir 100LL delivery.

And all priority levels cleared in one day. Page 31 of 34  EVENTS In the beginning stages of planning a hamburger social to coincide with the Airventure Cup Race viewing party. My wife is willing to manage the hamburger social but will need some volunteers to help with a larger crowd and added activity(s). Do we have media we want to prepare for the watch event?
