MINUTES AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1987 COX FIELD TERMINAL PARIS, TEXAS The meeting was called to order at 6:00 P.M. by Chairman Bill Boothe. The following members were present: Bill Boothe, Chairman Joe Burress Victor Abeles Greta Grebb J.W. Ashmore, Secretary The minutes of the October 27, 1987, meeting were approved as read. Mr. Boots reported that there is no possibility of using TAC funds for the overlay of the entrance circle and terminal parking area. These areas are not considered revenue producing; under TAC regulations TAC funds cannot be used for maintenance or repair. Mr. Sadler and Mr. Pridemore sent an informal note with a bid on gate opener with key pad, button opener on inside and housing for the amount of $1500.00. Due to the informal nature of the pencil note and a lack of details, it was moved, seconded and passed that Greta Grebb check further into costs of an adequate gate system and invite interested parties to submit bids at the January 26, 1988, meeting. Mr. Boots will work with Ms. Grebb on securing proper bids. Repair of main terminal: The cracking of the concrete walls and the rusting of the metal walls are just a few of the readily apparent defects in the current structure. It was moved, seconded and passed that the advisory committee recommend to the City that the City of Paris engineer inspect the building and meet with the committee in January, 1988, so we can consider the long -range needs of repair and maintenance on the terminal building. Mr. Boots was asked to make this request to the City Engineer. Review of annual Fire Department Inspection Report: (Copy Attached) The letter reporting on the inspection shows compliance with the first five items. On item A, the committee discussed the options for these tanks. Mr. Burress suggested the tanks be filled with water to prevent rust and make later movement disposal easier. To fill the tanks with sand and /or concrete could later be a large expense for moving or other wise disposing of the tanks. In addition, the filling of the unused tanks with water would make them available for future use should they be needed. It was moved, seconded, and passed that the board recommend to the City Council that should it be necessary to decommission these tanks, they be filled with water rather than concrete or sand.
