Approval of minutes from previous meetings. Minutes of the April 19, 2007, meeting were approved as presented. 3. Receipt of report from Pete Kampfer, Paris Economic Development Corporation, regarding potential airport projects. Pete Kampfer looked at two things: 1. Old South Airplane Works (Navarro Nichols), which is a project the Board has looked at in the past. Pete stated that there would be minimal financial impact, and it should be looked at from the tourism aspect. He said that Mr. Nichols has still not provided financials, and he didn't like the proposed lease agreement. PEDC initially committed $250,000, but his Board would have to bless that again. He said Mr. Nichols is not willing to pledge his assets. The operation is not really profitable; Mr. Nichols is more of an enthusiast. Most museums lose money, and we need to know if he has the expertise to pull off a museum. Vic Ressler stated that, if he is not willing to put anything in to it, then we are wasting our time. Lisa Wright stated that he had said in an earlier meeting that he did not want to make the buildings ADA compliant, which the City cannot waive. Vic asked if a couple of Board members would talk to him and get a feel. Jack Ashmore stated that he was not enthusiastic about this whole deal. 2. Integrated airport in Economic Development plan. Pete stated that airports are an Important component of ED, and he plans to market Cox Field through his plan. 4. Receipt of report from the Fly-In Subcommittee.
