MINUTES AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1986 COX FIELD TERMINAL PARIS, TEXAS The meeting was convened at 6:00 P.M. by Bill Boothe, Chairman, with the following me pbers present: r J.W. Ashmore, Secretary Jim Collier, Airport Manager Greta Grebb Eric Clifford Joe Burress Members absent: None Minutes from the April 29, 1986, meeting were approved as read. Old Business: 1. Gravel Road: As a result of the April 29th meeting, the committee recommended the City expand the budget enough to supplement the budget enough to'supplement the $3,356.22 already earmarked for a blacktop surface on the gravel road by the "T" hangars. Six thousand ($6000.) has been put in the budget for this purpose, and we will await the council's action on the budget for the next fiscal year. The need is more acute than ever. 2. New "T" Hangars: The information on this item is still not sufficient to take any action. This item will be put pack on the agenda at a later date. 3. Grants and funding: The approved funds still have not been released. The city is in the process of passing an ordinance on self - fueling aircraft at Cox Field. A second requirement is that the city submit a comparative cost study on operation of the airport by the City of Paris vs. Saber Aviation. It is the board's understanding that nothing has been done on this required study as of this date. After a careful study of the proposed ordinance No.86 -025, the board feels that this ordinance is unduly restrictive, unrealistic and not in the best interest of the pilots operating from Cox Field. The board recommends that no further action be taken on this ordinance. In addition, the Airport Advisory Board also requests a minimum of 30 days to draft a more realistic ordinance and submit it to the City Council through the City Attorney. 4. Permits: Two permits are to be considered: a. Randall Stephens of Stephens Ag Air has a temporary permit now. All paperwork being in order, the board recommends approval. b. Saber Aviation requests a permit for pilot training. The necessary paperwork and insurance being in order, the board recommends approval. This permit for single - engine aircraft only. 5. Air Service: Burress reported on the actions of the Air Service Committee of the Chamber of Commerce in meeting with Altus Air and Executive Express. The chairman of the air service committee recommended to the Transportation Board that Altus Air be approved as the carrier for Paris. 6. Proposed Radio Towers: The Advisory Board reviewed the location pro- posed of radio towers in the county. These towers may have been approved by the FAA. However, the board feels that the tower near the Powderly Airport is a definite hazard to flight. The Advisory Board and the City of Paris are not otherwise directly involved in approval or disapproval of these towers. Individual pilots are encouraged to comment on the approval of such towers at the appropriate time. New Business: 1. The Airport Advisory Board discussed the advisability of the extablishment of an airport authority for the City of Paris. The Advisory Board requests permission for Bill Boothe, Chairman, Joe Burress and Eric Clifford to appear before the City Council on Monday, August 11, to present this proposal. Joe Burress will con- tact the City to get this matter placed on the Agenda. 2. The Advisory Board requests Jim Collier write a letter for the status of our ADF /DME Antennae and advise the board at the next meeting.. 3.
