It was discussed about increasing the length of displaced threshold thereby extending <br />the runway 12/30 to 5000 feet. It was stated that many corporate aircraft have a limitation <br />in their insurance policy that does not allow landings on airports with less than a 5000 <br />foot runway. It was suggested that this discussion be postponed to a later date, or be <br />made an agenda item at a later date. Mr. Dodson indicated that he would be available <br />to help if needed. <br /> <br />6. There were no formal recommendations to City Council regarding Airport or Board <br />matters. Mr. Wiggington posed a question to the Board regarding the characteristics of <br />Position 5 and if they were in agreement, it could remain as stated, even though San <br />Jacinto College has dis-banded the pilot training program, since the 2016 change to the <br />ordinance establishing the Airport Advisory Board. There were no objections from the <br />Board to leave the characteristic description for Position 5 unchanged. <br /> <br />Debby Rihn-Harvey asked if the City knew anything about the status of the deserted Air <br />National Guard building or status of the lease. It was also stated that the building or the <br />building site would make a perfect spot for a future terminal building. It was suggested <br />that this discussion be postponed to a later date, or be made an agenda item at a later <br />date. <br /> <br />7. Board Comments: Debby Rihn-Harvey stated that there were some access roads that <br />could use some work. She also stated that “small airport” security was being transferred <br />to FBI instead of TSA. The security of the gates was mentioned again and it was noted <br />that future improvements should include a pass-card type system that will record who <br />passes through and what time. Ray Mayo gave a brief description of the sanitary sewer <br />project in the Lomax area and the rationale for placement of the lift station outside of the <br />Runway Protection Zone in the Farrington Drive right-of way. Ray Mayo thanked Mr. <br />Dodson and the Board members for attending the meeting. <br /> <br />8. The Board members set the next meeting for Wednesday, April 1 at 3 PM. <br /> <br />9. The meeting was adjourned at 5:28 PM. <br />____________________________ <br /> Secretary <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PASSED AND APPROVED <br />ON THIS DAY__________________________________ <br /> <br />______________________________________________ <br />Chairman <br />2 <br />
