<br />~~ <br />r~ <br />La Porte, Texas <br />May 7, 1970 <br />Subject: Recommendation of La Porte Airport Commission <br />regarding mowing of Municipal Airport. <br />The La Porte Airport Commission unanimously recom- <br />mends the following action: <br />A. That the airport area be mowed from boundary to <br />boundary, including around the runway lites, at least twice a <br />year. These mowingsshould be accomplished no later than the <br />20th of May - for the first mowing - and no later than the <br />15th of October for the second mowing. <br />From boundary to boundary does not refer to the area <br />on the south side of the field normally maintained by airport <br />employees. <br />In the past, the contractor mowing for hay mowed <br />only those sections capable of producing the hay he wanted. <br />We believe this practice costs La Porte extra money in lost <br />business and broken runway lites. <br />• B. We further recommend that the City of La Porte <br />mow that area between the sides of the runway and the runway <br />lites at least once more after the contractor finishes his <br />second mowing. <br />We offer these suggestions in the sincere belief <br />that they will improve the potential of our airport and <br />result in it being even more self-sufficient. <br />(Signed) Van Garner, Chairman <br />Aviation Committee <br />Exhibt 1 <br />• <br />
