Call to Order/Approval of Minutes—Mr. Boeller called the meeting to order at 11:30 a.m. Ms. Kopp
approved the August 2025 minutes. Mr. Russell seconded. All were in favor, and the motion passed
unanimously.
I. Old Business -
• Airport Activity Report—Mr. Stuart noted that enplanements have slightly declined; this
may be due to the Missouri Department of Transportation and EAS not providing any
information on CGI's next carrier or destinations.
CGI successfully arranged a charter flight for 130 football players and their coaching staff.
• Cape Aviation Report – Mr. Stuart provided the fuel reports for August 2025. August fuel
sales increased by over 21.7% for the month. Year-to-date sales rose by 18%. Cape
Aviation also conducted a Fuel Farm inspection, which it passed. More discussion on the
topic.
• Airport Projects Update -
• Taxiway Delta Project — Mr. Stuart shared that the project is on schedule to be
completed by the end of September. All lighting will be updated to LED. No more
runway closures at this time.
• Private Hangar Progress - Mr. Stuart reported that there will be some trenching on
Godwin Dr. This will be backfilled in quickly; otherwise, the hangar is on schedule.
• ARFF Training —The annual training was successful. The Missouri Department of
Transportation owns the training fuselage, and Mizzou runs the Part 139 program.
This year, Mr. Stuart included GCI's Operations Team to train as well.
• EAS Update — Mr. Stuart reported there has been no word on who CGI's new carrier
will be. The DOT (Department of Transportation) has not yet made its
recommendation.
11. New Business — After the annual Part 139 inspection, the FAA required Runway 2/20 to be
painted.
Mr. Stuart has invited the board members to the SEMO Football game, as CGI will be the sponsor.
111. Non—Agenda Items— NA
I. Adjournment -
There being no other business, Mr. Boeller moved to adjourn the meeting, Mr. Russell
first, Mr. Wasson second. All were in favor. The meeting adjourned at 12:15 pm.
