in doing the fly over please contact Steve, or Shawn and let them know.
S. Report from Shawn Napier, Airport Director:
A. Update on Master Plan status.
The only thing not approved, is the airport lay out plan. Currently it has been
submitted to TXDOT, and we look to hear from them possibly in December to two
or three months after that. Looking at the Capital Improvement plan we received
some good news at the pre pavement meeting for the main runway that was held at
the Airport. One of the TXDOT aviation officials Stacie Clyber stated that they
had a lot of major projects cancel on them and they are looking to bump some
people up. So we are looking at sending our first payment by October 1 to TXDOT
to start the Phase II portion of the airport project.
B. Status of Airport Improvements.
They have finished the overlay of the main runway and are currently working on
the lighting which will take another two to three weeks. The striping crew will be
in on Monday to do the striping for the runway. They will also be coming back to
repair the concrete that was damaged in front of Bill Booth's hangar and the other
areas as well. Any issues you see we will try to address in the Phase II part of the
project.
6 Report from Jerry Richey, Airport Manager:
A. Status of TerminalAHangar Improvements.

terminal building.

Open House at terminal possibly in October.
