Regular City Council Meetrng August 5, 2004 Page 13 Wright said he did maintenance at the Airport and helped Code Enforcement with mowing. Councilman Bell said at the many Airports he has been at, there is no on-site manager, just the Fixed Base Operator. Ms. Wright said those Airports contract with the FBO to do that. Ms. Wright said she hasn't researched that. Councilman Bell said he didn't know if that would be profitable. He mentioned that the collection of hangar rent could be done downtown. Councilman Wilson said the way rent is collected should be better accounting practices. Ms. Wright said she would have to check into using the FBO to make sure everything, that needs to be covered, is covered. She mentioned that the Airport Manager also did maintenance and mowing. Councilman Wilson suggested making a job description to ensure everything was taken care of. Ms. Wright said Mr. Collier had been buying office supplies out of his pocket but she felt $100 would be enough for that item. It was the consensus to leave the money in for uniforms, since the airport was the first impression some people got of Paris. It was agreed to delete travel expenses. Councilwoman Wilkerson asked why miscellaneous was up so much. Ms. Wright said they would be going over the budgetted amount this year. She indicated that they use that use that to rent portable toilets for events, to do callibration, etc. and she was comfortable bringing that down to $100. Mayor Fendley asked what the consultant was for. Ms. Wright explained that they were required to do a stormwater pollution plan at the airport. The money budgeted was for the estimate given by Reeves Hayter to do that and all the required quarterly and semi-annual reports. On the line item for signals and markers, Interim City Manager Townsend explained that he asked Lisa to put that line item in because of requests by the FAA. Before, it had come out of his traffic department. Ms. Wright said that also included contracting out the striping.
