3. Discussion regarding delinquent hangar rentals.
Triniti Frazier, City staff reported that Jimmy Smyers is delinquent 60-90 days in the
amount of $9.00 at this time.
Vice -Chairman Ball requested a delinquent notice be mailed to Mr. Smyers.
4. Discussion regarding development opportunities.
Jerry Richey mentioned a potential development with a local crop -duster who has shown
interest in bringing his business to the airport. Mr. Ball then asked about what lengths the
City is going to in order to assist any potential businesses in the development stage. Mr.
Ball also mentioned bringing in the PEDC to assist. Mr. Richey agreed as it will
potentially bring in more business. Tim Bullock asked if there were any potential issues
regarding chemicals, or environmental concerns at the airport. Mr. Richey informed him
that there will be no storage of anything hazardous, as the inventory moves too quickly to
present any potential danger. Lance Nicholson advised the City is progressively
discussing potential for the airport with developers like Mr. Unruh and Mr. Buster that
have an interest in building hangars.
5. Discussion regarding the new hangar construction project.
Carla Easton, City Engineer states that TXDOT is planning to declare the contractor on
the new hangar construction project in default because they have a handful of items that
were on their punch list months ago incomplete. The hanger itself is where it needs to be
and is operable. TXDOT has indicated that they are going to accept the hanger as it is and
declare the contractor in default on the remaining items like the dirt piles they were
supposed to haul off, there is a flume drainage ditch that goes around the hangar that was
built starting upstream and the downstream stays wet etc. The contractor does not plan to
come back to finish. The bonding company will probably be on the hook for those
remaining items. TXDOT contractors will be responsible for doing it but they haven't
given that over to the City yet. Until TXDOT formally accepts it there is a liability issue
and we cannot have someone occupy the space.
6. Consideration and action on a new ground lease agreement with Colin Marino for the
construction of a new hangar.
Lance Nicholson, City Staff showed the map attached in the airport packet for this item to
the board members indicating the proposed location of a new hangar. Mr. Nicholson
states they think it is the best location to be lined up with the other taxi way. He further
states what the City Manager is proposing is that the City would provide the taxiway with
RAMP money and the contractor would build his building and he would pay for his ramp
and access to the taxiway. He states there would be enough room for additional corporate
hangars to be stacked down the taxiway. Anna Spencer states she has a concern for the
location of this new hangar not being lined up with the other hangars. Daniel Roach
explains there is an advantage to be able to have a drive through hangar because there are
some aircraft that have reverse and it is problematic trying to back up.
Motion to approve a new ground lease agreement with Colin Marino for the construction
of a new hangar was made by Jimmy Noble and seconded by Tim Bullock. Motion
carried 5-0.
7. Request items for future agendas.
Ray Ball requested the same meeting format be kept and suggested adding an open forum
for members to discuss ideas.
8. Adjournment.
A motion to adjourn was made by Jimmy Noble and seconded by Tim Bullock to adjourn
at 6:15 p.m. Motion carried 5-0.
APPROVED THIS 19t' DAY OF JULY, 2018.
