Airport Advisory Board <br />June 18, 2002 <br />Page 2 <br />Chairperson and Vic Ressler was elected by acclamation. <br />IV. Status of the self service fuel system: <br />Mr. Haynes explained to the Board that at the last meeting the City <br />Council approved for the purchase a self service credit card fuel system <br />for AV gas by J. R. Aviation. J. R. Aviation would then suspend the <br />monthly payment for AV gas to the City of Paris until the cost of the self <br />service system is paid off. The cost approved by City Council was <br />$19,295.95 which was the amount of the only bid received. The next step <br />in this process is a contract between J. R. Aviation and the City of Paris <br />for the purchase of the self service fuel system. The contract should be <br />available in approximately two weeks. <br />V. Status of TxDot Aviation Approval of a new helicopter landing site: <br />No new information on the approval of undesignating the current <br />helicopter pad and moving it to another location. <br />VI. Discussion of recognition of airport namesake, Charles Mac Cox: <br />A motion to remove this item from the table was made by J.W. Ashmore and <br />seconded by Don Morrell. The motion passed unanimously. J.W. Ashmore <br />reported on the research to get a picture of Charles Mac Cox. He went to the <br />Paris Junior College archives and got a class picture of him. Ashmore than <br />had the picture blown up to 5" x 7" and took it to a local artist, Jamie Carter, <br />for her to do an oil portrait . The 16" x 20" framed portrait will cost <br />$250.00. Mr. Haynes thanked Mr. Ashmore for his work on this project. <br />Once the portrait is completed, we will have a plaque engraved with the vital <br />information that will be below the painting. <br />VII. Status of proposed Cox Field brochure: <br />Mr. Haynes passed out the final revised brochure for the Board to review. <br />One additional change was made to include the wording "serving general <br />aviation ". Haynes advised we were getting prices and would go to PEDC <br />and the Chamber of Commerce to help pay for the brochure. Haynes <br />thanked the Board for their help in preparing the brochure. <br />
