Walker asked what kind of braking action report would have been given to carriers if they had called in; Chenoweth explained it would have depended upon what time they contacted the airport. C. Chenoweth distributed a memo he received from Bloom concerning the Airport Board making a brief presentationto City Council concerning their duties, achievements, etc, Three or four dates were still available; the Airport Board agreed Tuesday, 1/11/95, would be the most appropriate date.
