Regular Council Meetrng July 9, 2001 Page 21 upon Mr. Moore's statement, that he would recommend a 42 foot door and that was also the width that was recommended by Frank Davis, and the City Council would not want to take bids on a minimum smaller that these recommendations. After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Plata to change the bid to a 42 foot door instead of the 40 foot door with 10 foot 6 inches height opening to accommodate almost all airplanes. Victor Ables, Chairman of the Airport Advisory Board, was present explaining that it is true that they were told that a 40 foot 6 inch door would work, and if Mr. Moore made a mistake, that is his problem. Mr. Ables stated that the City Council has an opportunity to go with the 42 foot door with the amount of dollars that are available, and stressed that the amount of dollars available was why the Airport Advisory Board gave three different versions of this bid. If they gave it at 40 foot 6 inches and that is what they understood, now they find that is incorrect. Mr. Ables said they had given the City Council several options to choose from, but urged the Council to make sure it is within the funding. The motion failed for lack of a second. After further discussion, a motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Manning, seconded by Councilman Bell, to go with the motion that was recommended by the Airport Advisory Board at the City Council's meeting on June 28, 2001, which was also approved by the City Council. The motion carried 4 ayes, 0 nays. Mr. Wendall Moore, 3035 Oak Creek Drive, was present telling the City Council that the drawing was a copy of a brochure which is a typical nested T-hangar layout. Mr. Moore said that if it was interpreted as a 40' 6" by 321 feet vs. 255 feet, you are talking about a 42 foot wide opening.
