4. Discussion regarding feasibility of building private hangars.
Ray Ball states he intended to bring an article he read in Flight magazine on the pros and
cons of private hangars. He will bring it to the next meeting.
John Godwin states Colin Marino's hangar was approved by Council last month but he has
not executed an agreement. He has been working with his contractor for a couple months. He
hasn't submitted plans yet. Lance Nicholson states Marino has been working with HWH.
Ray Ball asked if the other two that were interested in hangars moving forward at all?
Jerry Richey states that Earl is waiting to see how this deal goes with Marino. Richey states
that Whitlock, the crop dusters are pretty much out. They are probably going to build over in
Bonham. Richey states we a have new person, Bill Whitaker that is talking about building a
hangar on the back row where it is a better location. He is working on getting a survey done.
David Taylor states he has concerns about the motion that was passed last month in his
absence regarding the construction site of new hangars that is not in compliance with the
Airport Master Plan. He states he has walked through the area and this committee should get
a feel for what the expense is going to be to make that site ready for anyone that builds in that
site. Ball states there was discussion and it was determined with Austin that the Airport
Masterplan is a general concept of where we would like to go but it is not an absolute, hard
fast rule that we have to follow. The intent was to have something on the table that the state
could look at before issuing grants that we've got a plan versus no plan of any kind and they
could deny us forever. Taylor asked what is going to be the cost to make this site that is not
within the Masterplan. John Godwin states the Marino site will be very minimal to have
septic and a two-inch water line and those are going to be his cost. Godwin states if we get a
whole row of hangars then you're going to have to build a taxiway and there will be expense
to that in which we would seek some type of economic development agreement with anyone
that is going to build along there so they pay their share of the cost.
S. Discuss regarding aviation class with Paris Junior College.
Nathan Bell was not present for this item. Ball requested it be moved to November agenda.
