The <br />Chairman moved that it be moved to the next meeting agenda. <br />Mrs. Greb's report on the TAC meeting in Austin: <br />a. One of the major items discussed was "How to Organize <br />Community Support for Your Airport ". Attached is a copy of <br />the article "What's Your Airport Worth ?" <br />b. We can probably expect a state tax on aviation gas. The big <br />question is whether it will be a designated or non - designated <br />tax. <br />c. Any future federal funding will be contingent upon each <br />airport having a current five year plan for airport physical <br />facilities. Any community not submitting such a plan will not <br />be eligible for funding from the federal government. <br />d. The advisory committee discussed forming an Airport Support <br />Group in the community. Committee members suggested several <br />names of community leaders to be contacted about serving on <br />such a committee. After these people have been contacted, the <br />advisory board will take further action. <br />Discussion of estimated cost involved in Part 139 Certificate: <br />Dick Boots handed out copies of the specifications for the Part <br />139 Certificate. An estimate of $9000.00 was received as the <br />cost of installing lighted guidance signs. We can get 69% funding <br />
