Monthly Activity Report - Mr. Loy informed the board that the Procter & Gamble figures for the month have not yet been reported, but TWE has had a good month for October. November is looking good so fain and will pick up even more closer to the holidays. Lnplanements are running very close to our totals needad for the calendar year in regard to the FAA 10,000 peek we are trying or hit. Mr. Loy reported on a conversation with Mr. Brian Weiler, MoDot's Administrator of Aviation . Mr. Weiler explained that he would like to see some sort of agreement with the FAA that if a small airport like ours is above 10,000 one year, but falls below 10,000 another year then the FAA would still allow Federal funds up to a certain percentage. Mr. Loy reported he will be going to the Missouri Airport Managers Association (MAMA) fall conference and would talk with Mr. Weiler again to see if lie has come up with any other ideas. Mr. Loy also reported that airport operations are up again this month. B. Update on Parking Lot Signage Project - Mr. Loy reported the signs are up.

Mr. Loy will continue to try and reach Mr. Diebold to stet the numbers painted on the spaces, C. Update on Hangar Leases - The lease for Rick Griffith and David Johnson is done and they are reviewint,. it for their signatures. Mr. Loy has put together new terms for Web Aero, Inc. The terms are an additional two years at the same rent and then rent will be increased approximately 5100 based on a new square footage rate of six cents for businesses and approximately $100 increase per month on the hangar itself based on CIP increase calculations. These leases will appear before the City Council on the first Monday of December Mr. Loy reported the State Revolving Loan Program for the construction of bhangars has not been actively pursued due to the need for finding a local match for that type of loan. Mr. Loy will need to confirm construction pricing and research construction options available. One of the problems with the loan program is that the State will give you a very good rate. but the maximum length of a loan is ten years. It would he very hard to charge enough rent to pay the match when it becomes due. A possibility would be to get a commitment from a person wanting to rent a hangar to place a bulk payment and sign a lease. The i hangar waiting list at this time is small, but there are probably more out there that are not on our list. Mr. Weiler would like to have grant funding available for t -hangars. The board feels it is would be a good idea sit down with the people who are interested in receiving a (-hangar and see what their commitment is. If they are trilling to go into a long term lease agreement and are able to put money forward on it, that would help determine the amount needed by the City to meet the loan requirements. The idea of constructing shelters instead of full hangars was also discussed by the hoard A sub-comurittee was developed to explore hangar development issues and report to the board their preliminary feasibility ideas.
