Item 2.R. - The Board stated that not all planes could be insured and <br />requested that the provision requiring liability insurance be removed. <br />They asked the Airport Director to contact local insurance companies <br />to see what kind of renter's insurance a tenant could obtain to help <br />protect the City. <br />The Board requested that the proposed changes be made and that this item <br />be continued to the next meeting for review of the amended lease. <br />4. Discussion of and possible action on setting priorities for a possible RAMP <br />grant. The Board recommended that a RAMP grant be sought for the <br />following items: (1) repair of the tarmac in front of Smyers' hangar; (2) repair <br />of concrete around the refueling area; (3) repair of asphalt in front of the old <br />hangars; (4) raising the drainage ditch; and (4) construction of more taxiways <br />to the west or north. <br />5. Receipt of report from the Airport Director. The Airport Director asked Jack <br />Ashmore to report on the static display. Mr. Ashmore stated that he had <br />received a list of available planes from the Airport Director. He stated that an <br />F -15 was in one piece, so there was no way to get it here. He advised that <br />Smyers' trailer was limited to 35'. He stated that a T -33 was 34', and an F -86 <br />was 37', which was still okay. He said the F -86 is a very popular plane; it is to <br />Americans what MIGs are to Russians. The consensus of the Board was to <br />seek an F -86. The Board asked the Airport Director to contact Pat Ochs to <br />find out the locations of F -86s and what condition the planes were in. <br />Mr. Ashmore stated he had no report on the Airshow Subcommittee, but <br />would have something to report next month. <br />Glenn Chapman stated the Billy Copeland would be at the next meeting to <br />discuss fly -ins. <br />The Airport Director reported that the owners of the WWII museum had been <br />requested to provide financials to the City and the PEDC since the PEDC <br />would be providing funds to help build water lines for the museum. The <br />purpose is to ensure that they can afford to build what they say they'll build. <br />As of this date, no financials have been provided. <br />She also reported that the City Council would be considering a lease <br />agreement with Knox Aerial Flying at its meeting on the 27th for a small tract <br />by the RCAG building.
