Discussion of possible hangar construction project. Tony Williams advised the Board that there were TxDOT grant funds available, but we first need to make sure that we're in good stead with regard to other that projects that must be completed prior to construction of T- hangars. Mr. Williams introduced representatives from KSA Engineers, who are civil engineers who also do work for airports. Mitch Fortner with KSA stated that the airport receives non - primary entitlement funding every year, and we have been accumulating those funds since 2002: $150,000 in 2002; $150,000 in 2003; $150,000 in 2004; $66,667 in 2005; and all amounts are still available. The City can either use the funds or assign them over to another airport. He explained that the City will have to have to provide a match to receive the grant funds. Until recently, the match was 90/10, but the current match is 75/25. Additionally, in 2004, TxDOT did not fund hangar construction; however, they do with the more recent funding, so the 2002 funds can be used to construct pavement to serve the hangar. The grant will have to be executed by September 30, 2005.
