The Board heard a report from Ms. Grebb about a meeting held with local industrial concerns about the AWOS. Ms. Grebb stated that there was support from local industry, however those concerned wanted to know if the City would back the installation of the AWOS unit. Mr. Ritchey moved that the Board advise the City to back the AWOS with a percentage of cost money and in the future to provide the AWOS annual maintenance. The motion was seconded by Victor Abeles. The board asked Mr. Dick Boots to follow up our request with proper wording to be delivered to the City. b. The board discussed the soil erosion around the approach street bridge. After much discussion the board was presented with a motion by Ms. Grebb, seconded by Victor Abels to advise the city to plan the rework and repairs of the bridge and headwall and put the item back into this years budget. The board pointed out that this area would only get worse and be more expensive to wait much longer. Mr. Clifford and Mr. Boots expressed willingness to look into the problem. c. Ms. Grebb reported on the meeting held with TAC and the FAA representatives. Mr. Ray Hampton and Larry Lacey Spriggs were in attendance from the FAA. Ms. Grebb stated that the Five year plan should be reworked and presented to the TAC and FAA as soon as possible. The FAA stated that this 5 year plan was necessary for various agencies to make improvements at small airports. The FAA noted that we should move on the 5 year plan because the 90 -10 moneys are still available but after the 1990's this method of federal help would stop. The FAA stated that the engineering for a 5 year plan would possibly be funded this year. THE TAC noted that they would handle the renovation of the Cox Field terminal building, if money became available.
