VII. GENERAL BUSINESS (1) Completion of PAPI and Taxi Way Signage. Airport Manager Bonville stated that the PAPI and Taxi Way signage is complete and Grant funding came through. Project was under budget and on time. (2) Commercial Sign Request for Bid Airport Manager Bonville said that there is a request from someone that is interested in building an electronic sign on the airport because of its proximity to Highway 99. Airport Manager Bonville stated that there is reluctance to tie up a portion of the airport for a 20 to 30 year span. Bonville recommended holding off on this deal a little longer. (3) Grant for relocation of Wind Tee Airport Manager Bonville said that the funding is in place for the relocation of the Wind Tee, and the matching City funds and the Cal Trans commitment funds are in place. The original bid on the project came in at double the estimate due to the fact that one of the bidders discovered he would be the only bidder on the project. This bid was not awarded. There is now matching funds and Grant money from previous Grants that hadn’t been collected, and can now be used to fund projects for the next 3 years. The plan is to rehabilitate the main apron and the Wind Tee would be included in this project. Due to it being a bigger project, there would potentially be more bidders for the project. (4) Future ACIP projects There is now matching funds and Grant money from previous Grants that hadn’t been collected, and can now be used to fund projects for the next 3 years. The plan is to rehabilitate the main apron and the Wind Tee would be included in this project. Due to it being a bigger project, there would potentially be more bidders for the project. VIII.
