March 17, 2005 Page 2 Mr. Fortnerstated thatwe have not had a capital improvement project in some years, therefore, all deficiencies will need to be addressed prior to this funding being used forT- hangars. Mr. Fortner explained that they had looked at an 8 unit nested T- hangar made from a pre- engineered, fully fabricated, erect -a -tube kit, estimated at $32 per square foot, but they will work with local contractors to get a lower materials cost. If the City goes the red iron route, a pre- engineered metal building, contingent upon the design and professional services, would cost around $390,000. This was more than the last two fiscal years budget, so we can decide if we should back off to stay within budget or get a higher local match. We also need to make sure we put the hangars somewhere within the logical direction of growth of the airport. Tony Williams asked the Board to identify where a T- hangar should be built and we can see what it will take to get pavement there. He stated he would see what he can come up with regarding a match. Mr. Fortner told the Board he would prepare the letter to TxDOT requesting that the funds be reserved. Ms. Wright reminded him that the letter she received stated that the letter from the City would need to be to TxDOT by the end of the month. Mr. Fortner said he would be in touch with Ms. Wright right away to get all the information he still needed. 4. Continued discussion and report regarding amendments to (1) the lease agreement with Jimmy Smyers, (2) provisions of the Code of Ordinances related to permitting of mechanics, and (3) insurance requirements for permittees. Lisa Wright advised the Board that she had spoken with an insurance agent who said there were two companies that carried this type of insurance. That insurance agent volunteered to contact those companies to determine the cost of carrying this kind of insurance. Ms. Wright stated she had not yet heard back from that insurance agent but hoped to have information by the next meeting. No action taken. 5. Recommending to the City Council a replacement for outgoing Board member Victor Abe /es. Ms. Wright advised that Mark Cunningham did not wish to serve, and Mr. Ressler informed the Board that Mr. Cunningham also told him he might be too busy. Ms. Wright requested that the Board provide more than one name in the event any other person might decline to serve. Motion to recommend the following people in priority order: (1) Jack Ashmore, (2) Bill Boothe, and (3) Pete Miller, was made by Andy Fasken, seconded by Glenn Townes. Motion carried 4 -0.
