3. Chairman Larry Tucker administered the Oath of Office to
Charles Walker.
4. Airport Manager Steve Gillett updated the members on
activities since the last meeting. Highlighted was the recent
notification of a grant to purchase the Runway Protection Zone
in the northwest corner of the Airport (attached).
5. Discussion of the need for a development plan for the airport.
The Plan would be different from the Master Plan, in that it
would address the direction the airport is going rather than
physical features.
The need to determine where the Airport is going coincides
with the need for promotion of the Airport. A professional
plan is needed to determine what market the Airport wants to
attract, with a promotional plan to implement the findings.
Questions arose regarding the City's willingness to fund such
a plan. Staff stated that the Council appropriated funding,
and outlined possible funding sources, including the Airport
Fund and the Hotel/motel Fund.
The group agreed that professional help is needed, with
emphasis on experience with small, general aviation airports.
Several members agreed to talk to contacts to try and get
names and samples of work from qualified firms for discussion
at the next meeting.
The next meeting is scheduled for August 5, 1997 at 6:30 PM.
