Receive Report from the Airport manager. <br />a New Airport Manager/FBO <br />Airport Manager, Paul Strahan, stated that the turnover process is going well and he is getting <br />familiar with all of the day-to-day operations. <br />• Transferring Accounts from previous Manager/FBO to City of Paris <br />Mr. Strahan stated that there are several accounts that need to be changed from JR Aviation to The <br />City of Paris. He is working with AT&T to keep the same phone number and fax number, as those <br />have been listed in an Aviation directory for several years. He also stated that they wanted to make <br />the switch for the phone, fax, and internet on the same day to avoid any service interruptions. He <br />went on to say that he has spoken with Trent Reader with AvFuel to check on the process of <br />switching the fuel accounts over, which is going well, but is a slow process unfortunately. <br />• Underground Storage Tank Training <br />Mr. Strahan said that he is not very familiar with underground storage tanks, and this is his first <br />time ever dealing with them. There is a good amount of paperwork that he needs training on <br />regarding the QA & QC process, as underground tanks require more attention that above ground <br />tanks by TCEQ. <br />• Update on Airport Runway Lighting Issue <br />Mr. Strahan stated that the lighting regulator has been ordered and is not scheduled to ship from <br />Ohio until the latter part of this month and unfortunately this process cannot be sped up. He can't <br />get a firm installation date, since the exact arrival date of the regulator is unknown. The NOTAM <br />
