Discussion of dis <br />monthly session at City Hall on <br />ith the following board members <br />n Rex and the minutes of the previous <br />al of three oldT- Hangars. <br />It was reported by Mr. Collier and Mr. Whitaker that Mr. Wrenn had made no <br />progress toward vacating the old hangars. <br />2.

Increase to 5 planes per row in a nested fashion, by having every <br />other plane facing an alternate direction, and /or by alternating high <br />wing and low wing aircraft. The disadvantage of this method is that an <br />attendent would be required to dlirect and assist pilots, especially <br />females and those alone, in the parking of planes in order to keep <br />planes parked properly and without damage to other craft. <br />It was further noted that the estimated cost of installing parking cables <br />required for either of the above parking methods is $3,200 - $3,500 for cable <br />for two (2) rows of planes.
