MINUTES AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1990 COX FIELD TERMINAL PARIS, TEXAS 1. The scheduled meeting was called to order at 6:00 P.M. by Chairperson Mrs. Greta Greb. The following members were present: Greta Greb, Chairperson J.B. Ritchey Jim Bell J.W. Harrison Cliff Lee ABSENT: Victor Abeles J.W. Ashmore Also in attendance: Dick Boots and Jim Collier. 2. The minutes of the previous meeting (November 28, 1989) were read and approved. 3. The AWOS funding was discussed. No funds are available through the FAA for AWOS funding. Campbell Soup and Kimberly Clark may possibly donate $2,000 or $3,000 towards the project. It was decided that the Board would attempt to find a way to solicit funds from industries and the private sector to cover the cost of the project. A letter will be written by Mrs. Greb to the FAA requesting that we be moved up on the list for AWOS Funding. The letter would say that if the City has 1/3 of the total funding available, the City would request to be moved up on the list since the FAA would not have to fund the entire project. The Board recommended that the Airport Support Group be directly involved in soliciting funds. All industries, whether they are Airport Users or not, will be asked to take part in this fundraising. 4. It was reported that the Master Plan Grant was being written by the FAA this week and would be in the hands of the City Staff within one week. As soon as the grant is signed by the City of Paris and returned to the FAA, the consulting firm will begin work on the project. 5. A survey of the hanger renters, which was requested by the Board at the November meeting, was presented by Dick Boots. After review of the survey, it was decided that the City of Paris would apply through the FAA for a 20 year 5% interest loan of $100,000. The total cost of constructing 6 closed hangers would be approximately $114,000. The City would have to come up with the $14,000. above the total grant allocation. The $100,000. loan from FAA would not be available until September of 1990. Mr.
