February 17, 2005 Page 2 Ressler stated that the plane owner should be responsible for making sure a mechanic is licensed. He said it was ludicrous to make someone come down to City Hall to get a permit. Mr. Fasken recommended that mechanics should check in with Jerry Richey so that he can make sure they’re licensed. Vic Ressler asked if the City did not have an umbrella on liability, and Tony Williams stated it would not cover someone working on a plane. Mr. Michaelwicz stated that the biggest issue was to make sure the City was protected. Andy Fasken advised the Board that marinas now require renters to have liability insurance because a fire spread to other boats.

He stated that a ballpark estimate was $30-$32 per square foot. Mr. Williams told the Board there were grant funds available, but that, since we hadn’t done a project since 1999, hangars would not be placed above safety issues if anything needed to be addressed. Ms. Wright stated that Tommy Haynes had told her after his retirement that all safety issues had been addressed. Mr.
