3. Report from Shawn Napier, Airport Director:
A. Status of Airport Improvements.
Shawn Napier, Airport Director made report stating we have received phase II
final set of drawings from KSA. Some additional items we talked about made it in
and some didn't, TXDOT prefers to overrun the project a little bit instead of
including all items. This Sunday will be advertising in Paris News with a Pre Bid
meeting at Cox Field on November 28th at 2:00 pm. We will open bids on
December 7th at 2:00 pm at the City Council Chambers. Contractors will have 60
days to sign contract, after they sign will have a pre - construction meeting
sometime after February 7th
4. Discussion and possible action on the airport security gate.
Jerry Richey, Airport Manager stated we need to review the policy on the security gate.
Once we close the gate going back to the card system is going to be hard, people lose
them, then it takes up to two weeks to get them programmed. Mr. Richey further stated it
would be better to go to a pin number system and do away with the card system. Vic
Ressler asked would this be a common code or custom to the user. Mr. Richey explained
it would be better to be a common code. Ray Ball asked on the law enforcement side do
you need to know who comes and goes. Jerry Richey stated no we really wouldn't we
have cameras that log that information. Steve Gilbert asked if you could program the
cards yourself would that help with the process. Jerry Richey stated defiantly I could
immediately issue the cards; however, the key pin would be cheaper and quicker to do.
Motion was made by Vic Ressler, seconded by Fred Williams to go back to a key pad
system at the security gate. Motion carried 7 -0.
S. Report, discussion and possible action on the findings of the subcommittee regarding an
open house /fly -in at the airport.
Ray Ball made report to board members. Mr. Ball stated as I stated in the last meeting we
are looking at April and possibly October/November depending on the completion of the
runway project. As of right now we will have to wait until March and at that time we
should have a good idea of how the project is going with a possible completion date. We
have a commitment from budget for funds from PEDC and the City of Paris. Mr. Ball
further stated he wanted to get Jack Ashmore as a past member because he has a lot of
experience with this kind of event.
