AIRPORT BOARD MEETING
Tuesday, December 3, 1991
Staff:
Chairman Douglas K. Leslie
Kevin T. MCMeel
Mark J. Seesing
Gayle Conrad
The meeting was called to order at 4:05 p.m. by Chairman
McClanahan. Jim Bowman moved, seconded by John Seesing, that the
minutes of the November 5 meeting be approved as mailed. The Board
unanimously approved.
The Board proceeded to review and discuss the priority list
for airport projects that was prepared by Mark Seesing. Mark
indicated that the items that were placed high on the list are
items that need to be covered by entitlement funds. He suggested
to use the entitlement funds for lower priority projects of the
FAA. The lower items on the list are more likely to be obtained
using discretionary funds because of FAA priority. After
discussion, Bill Walker moved, seconded by Jim Bowman that the AIP
priority list be accepted as proposed. The Board unanimously
approved.
Mark Seesing indicated that the Blue Angels Flight Demonstra-
tion is scheduled to be in Cape Girardeau on May 9 and 10, 1992.
However, this is still contingent upon obtaining arresting gear and
funding. There is a preseason meeting scheduled for December 13
with Lt. Dave Stewart and Lt. Commander Duhrkopf. This meeting
will cover what is required by the City to put on the show. Mark
stated he still needs help in the corporate sponsor area if anyone
was interested.
Doug Leslie stated that Mark is working with Congressman
Emerson's office to get a static military aircraft display for the
airport. The aircraft would be a gift to the City. However, the
City is responsible for transportation, mounting and maintenance of
the aircraft. Jim Bowman moved, seconded by Bill Walker, that
staff get together a cost estimate on putting up the display and
review it at the next meeting. The Board unanimously approved.
Mark reviewed with the Board the EAS information. FAA had 90
days to send information to airlines and for them to respond with
a proposal for service. As soon as DOT receives the proposals,
they will be sent for our review. The only airline in addition to
TWE that is interested is Lone Star.

Regarding the marketing plan for the airport, Bill Walker
explained that Skip Smith of SEMO University has his business class
preparing a mission statement for the airport. Mr. Smith would
also like to have an intern work at the airport. Mark Seesing
needs to look into this option and determine what he wants from an
intern.
Bill Walker also stated that the Air Transportation Committee
will meet next week to decide how to use the marketing program it
prepared and how to distribute it. Bill also requested Allan Maki
to contact Mr. Fleming in Bellingham, Washington, and see if he
would share his ideas of his original mission and goals for his
airport with the Board and Mr. Smith.
Mark reviewed with the Board the timetable for the terminal
renovation. An ad for bids starts on December 8, a walk through is
scheduled for December 17, and bid openings are on January 7. The
asbestos project will be put out for bid soon, and hopefully that
project will be complete at about the time the terminal renovation
will commence.
Regarding the proposal that was submitted to obtain the
Convention and Tourism Funds, Mark suggested that each Board member
contact anyone they knew on the committee concerning the air show
proposal.
There being no further business, the Airport Board meeting
adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Gayle Conrad
