MINUTES AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1986 COX FIELD TERMINAL PARIS, TEXAS The meeting was convened at 6:00 P.M. by Bill Boothe, Chairman, with the following me pbers present: r J.W. Ashmore, Secretary Jim Collier, Airport Manager Greta Grebb Eric Clifford Joe Burress Members absent: None Minutes from the April 29, 1986, meeting were approved as read. Old Business: 1. Gravel Road: As a result of the April 29th meeting, the committee recommended the City expand the budget enough to supplement the budget enough to'supplement the $3,356.22 already earmarked for a blacktop surface on the gravel road by the "T" hangars. Six thousand ($6000.) has been put in the budget for this purpose, and we will await the council's action on the budget for the next fiscal year. The need is more acute than ever. 2. New "T" Hangars: The information on this item is still not sufficient to take any action. This item will be put pack on the agenda at a later date. 3. Grants and funding: The approved funds still have not been released. The city is in the process of passing an ordinance on self - fueling aircraft at Cox Field. A second requirement is that the city submit a comparative cost study on operation of the airport by the City of Paris vs. Saber Aviation. It is the board's understanding that nothing has been done on this required study as of this date. After a careful study of the proposed ordinance No.86 -025, the board feels that this ordinance is unduly restrictive, unrealistic and not in the best interest of the pilots operating from Cox Field. The board recommends that no further action be taken on this ordinance. In addition, the Airport Advisory Board also requests a minimum of 30 days to draft a more realistic ordinance and submit it to the City Council through the City Attorney. 4. Permits: Two permits are to be considered: a. Randall Stephens of Stephens Ag Air has a temporary permit now. All paperwork being in order, the board recommends approval.
