9. Discuss ground leases and building hangars at Cox Field (requested by Scott Hearne) Mr. Hearne asked Dr. Edenhoffer if the taxiway was extended would he be interested in building a hangar. Dr. Edenhoffer said yes, but he had not been offered that. Scott Hearne said they needed an education session, and possibly a checklist for building a hangar. Carla Easton provided a draft checklist, reviewed that list with the board, and said it pretty much followed the building process. She said if anyone knew of someone wanting to build a hangar, to tell them to go see Lance. The board discussed extending the taxiway, timeframe, TxDOT funding, and the City’s match. Scott Avery said he wants to look at long-range plans and see where that fits in. Carla Easton said with the construction of hangars, that there would also be the cost of building roads. 10. Request items for future agendas. Dr. Taylor said he wants to consider the feasibility of extending the current taxiway with our master plan. Carla said it would have to be rolled into next year’s budget because there will be a 10% match from the city. Scott Avery wants to address Dr. Edenhoffer’s issues. Jim Bell suggested they come up with outside sources to discuss a lease agreement and then recommend changes. Jim Bell said he wanted to discuss whether they can build hangars and utilize closed runways on the east side. Scott Avery said he wanted to meet with Carla to go over a meeting schedule for the year. Council Member Portugal said staff starts the budget process in April. Ms. Easton said they might want to hold future meetings in the council chambers, because it would be more conducive especially when using visuals. 11. Adjournment. Dr. Taylor made a motion to adjourn and Ray Ball seconded the motion. Motion passed 6-0. The meeting adjourned at 6:55 p.m.
