The meeting was called to order at 4:10 p.m. by Chairman
McClanahan. Jim Bowman moved, seconded by Bill Walker, that the
minutes of the December 3 meeting be approved as mailed. The Board
unanimously approved.
Mark Seesing updated the Board on the EAS situation. The DOT
extended the time frame for submittal of proposals to February 1.
As far as he knew, Lone Star and TWE are the only two submitting
proposals. DOT will send the proposals to the City for its review
and comment.
Regarding the Blue Angels air show, there will be a meeting of
the Air Show Committee on January 15 at 4:00 p.m. at the airport.
The Blue Angels have waived the requirement for arresting gear.
The board discussed options for setting up vending areas and cover
for the people because the terminal building will be unavailable at
the time due to renovation. Currently no static displays, fly
overs, etc. have been scheduled. However, Mark has contacted the
Air National Guard about having units on display. The farmers in
the area have indicated that they are willing to cooperate in any
way necessary.
It was discovered during the terminal building renovation walk
through that the wrong wage determination had been sent by the FAA.
As soon as the correct determination comes down on the project, an
addendum to the bid specs will be mailed out. All tenants will be
put in temporary office trailers in the parking lot during the
renovation. The asbestos management contract was approved by the
City Council on January 6. Prebid walk through is January 22, bid
opening is January 30, Council approval is February 3, and the
project should be started on February 15.
Bill Walker explained to the Board that the Air Transportation
Committee had completed its marketing document on the airport. He
presented to the Board two graphs - one indicated trends and
forecasts for boardings at the airport starting in 1984, and the
other showed actual boardings from 1987 to 1991 in relation to the
trends. The trends indicate that with two carriers and two
r„ destinations, boardings were showing an increase.

Regarding the static display, Mark indicated he is waiting on
an exact figure from the transport company. The cost depends on
what type of aircraft the City acquires. He felt that local
organizations, such as the VFW and American Legion, should get
involved in getting the ground work done for the display.
The Airport Board then adjourned to executive session at 4:55
p.m. to discuss a lease situation.
Respectfully submitted,
