The motion passed by unanimous vote. 11. A1313EARANCES A. None Ill. OLD BUSINESS r.. A. Airport Activity Report — Mr. Loy informed the Board that airline cnplanements were Lip for the month. The Southeast Missourian featured an article on Cape Air and its success in 21114. Overall, it was a very positive article and good publicity lot the airline. Air traffic was down for the month but there was no clear explanation as to why. B. Cape Aviation Report — Mr. Irwin presented the Cape Aviation Fuel Report and fuel sales were down slightly for the month as well as for the year. Mr. Loy stated staff would look at the way fuel sales are reported to determine if the report is capturing each month properly. C. ProjectUpdates— • Hangar/Lease Updates — Mr. Lor informed the Board that there is nothing new to report regarding hangars or leases. Removal and Repainting of Centerline Striping and Hold Bar — Mr. Lon informed the Board that Supplemental Agreement No. I will be presented to Council and MoDOT to extend the project deadline another ninety (90) days and add additional finds to the centerline project. Mr. Loy reported that closing out `�► the project was stalled because G.W. Gilmore (Gilmore Construction) had not submitted any additional payroll request. The reason, as we understand it, is because Gilmore has not had the Inds to pay his employees. Gilmore blames it on a previous project that he says he has not been paid for yet. Mr. Loy will speak with Crawford, Murphy, and filly to find a resolution to this problem and how we can close out the project. • Snow Removal Equipment — Mr. Loy provided an update to the Board on the procurement of the airport's snow removal equipment. Fahick, the local Caterpillar dealer, is in the process of providing the FAA required "Buy American' documentation. If they do not meet the requirements, the project will most likely have to be re -bid. In that scenario, the airport would only bid out the snow blower and depend on leasing a front end loader when necessary. Mr. Loy will keep the Board updated on the project. • Agricultural Issues — Mr. Loy informed the Board that he will send an email providing an update on the status of the airport's agricultural issues and potential legislation. • ARFF Track— Mr. Loy informed the Board that a new agreement with Crawford, Murphy. & Tilly. Inc (CMT) will be submitted to City Council for CMT to prepare hid packet documentation and specillcations ]'or the purchase of a new ARFF truck. The airport has been approved by the PAA for the funding of a 750 gallon truck. Discussion continued on the topic. D. 2014-2019 C.I.P (Tpdate— Mr. Loy informed the Board that he met with MoDOT and CMI to discuss the airport projects currently listed on the state capital improvements program list. Mr. Loy learned during the meeting that the control tower repairs and improvements are not eligible for MoDOT funding and there may be an issue with funding the terminal rehabilitation. Amy Ludwig said she would research it, but she felt the terminal rehab would have to be funded strictly with Non -Primary Entitlement finds. Mr. Loy said he vehemently disagreed with that thinking and asked that they look into it. Mr. Loy felt that would be the case for a GA Terminal, but not a Part 139 Airport Passenger Terminal. It was discovered that the Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) is more expensive than the amount originally budgeted and agreed that CGI would attempt to purchase a Surface Aviation Weather System (SAWS) for the ATCT, rather than an AW'OS. �.. MODO1also agreed to review the cost of airfield painting in regard to how they could assist CGI in finding for all of our airfield surface painting needs. IV. NEW BUSINESS A. 2015-2019 Agricultural Land Lease — Mr. Loy informed the Board that the city recent 1p held bids for the acreage at the airport available for farming.

Air Service Promotion —Mr. Loy advised the Board that he submitted the application to Mo DO'I Aviation for air service promotion finds. Mr. Lay requested funds to support a contract with consulting firm, Sixel Consulting. As a part of the contract, Sixel Consulting will conduct a leakage analysis and an economic impact statement. Options could include additional frequency with Cape Air, the possibility of new charter flights, or work through U.S. DOT to increase limds ]or CGI to support additional flights, etc. There was additional discussion concerning the Cape Air flight schedule changes planned to take place in May 2015.
