III. Old Business:
A. Airport Activity Report – Mr. Loy presented the Airport Usage Report to the Board.
He reported a total of 850 passengers for the month of August, matching June’s
numbers. Mr. Loy noted that there had been a significant amount of delays recently
due to bad weather. Mr. Brune and Mr. Knote gave positive feedback regarding their
experience with their flights.
B. Cape Aviation Report – Mr. Irwin presented the Cape Aviation Report to the Board.
He stated that the promotion “Fly In Fridays” did not get much response and that
other options will be researched. There was no further discussion on this matter.
C. Project Update –
Airport Improvement Program Supplemental Funding – Mr. Loy
informed the Board that based on conversations with MoDOT and our
consultant, Crawford, Murphy, & Tilly, Inc. (CMT), he decided to request a
waiver to be eligible for the Supplemental Appropriation funding. The project
scope has been shifted from airport terminal work to rehab Taxiway A asphalt
to gain weight-bearing capacity. According to MoDOT and CMT,
infrastructure projects such as taxiway rehabilitation will score higher based
on the criteria for this funding.
Request for Expression of Interest (REOI) – Mr. Loy informed the Board
that staff met with the City finance director, deputy city manager, and Penzel
Construction regarding the REOI. Several ideas were proposed and as a result,
it was determined more information is needed to continue the discussion.
Another meeting was scheduled for later in the month.
D. Air Service Discussion
Airline Marketing Update – Mr. Loy informed the Board that airline
services are still being actively promoted. Nothing further was discussed on
this topic.
Air Festival – Mr. Loy presented the itinerary of Julia Dacy during her visit.
Ms. Dacy added that she is actively speaking with hotels, meeting with local
recruiters, and beginning discussion about possible community events
involving performers. It was also noted that the Blue Angels coordinator will
be here in November for a site visit. All liaisons and key personnel will have
to be present for that meeting.
Discussion was held on the Friday night event that will be held in conjunction
with Old Town Cape’s Tunes at Twilight.
Mr. Knote informed the Board that he has been in contact with River Eagle
Distributing and Bluff City Beer regarding the beer garden for the air show.
Mr. Loy touched shortly on sponsorships he has received but reiterated that
any help the Board could provide in obtaining additional sponsors would be
appreciated. Discussion continued on the topic.
IV. New Business
A. T-Hangars – Mr. Hobbs suggested that the Board prepare a proposal for the funding
of the t-hangars to present to City Council. He continued that it is important that the
Board go to the Council with a plan on how to move forward with building more t-
hangars. Mr. Loy said that he would try to put some information together for the next
meeting.
Mr. Hobbs also asked if there was a way to gather information on the current revenue
generated from based customers including hangar rent and fuel. Mr. Irwin stated he
could put together a based customer analysis that factors in all revenue generated.
