to the terminal building. R.K. Hall has put in a dig test report for the lowering of
the electrical and phone cable that is currently exposed. The change order
construction will be done by R.K. Hall instead of Blue Bay construction.
Chairman Ashmore asked how are we going to pay for this. Mr. Napier stated the
funds are already there, in phase II there was a 300,000 dollar contingency added

Q

C�
Consideration of and possible action on a recommendation to City Council,for the new
construction of BUHA Holdings, LLC proposed hanger and lease agreement.
Chairman Ashmore presented the lease to board members. Chairman Ashmore stated they
are trying to build a nice hanger 100 by 125, with a thirty-five year lease.
David Jones, representing BUHA Holdings spoke in favor of the lease agreement. Mr.
Jones stated they are proposing construction of a hanger 100 ft. by 125 ft. with office area,
and sleeping accommodations. The lease agreement is the same lease as Air Direct has,
basically a 35 years lease agreement with a ten year renewal option. Mr. Jones further
stated they will have to construct a taxiway to the hangar with extensive dirt work to get
the site ready. The hangar will be located on the north end of the airport off of taxiway
Alpha. Shawn Napier stated that Jim Nelson is working to get the exact location down to
place it on an aerial. Mr. Napier stated he has spoken with R.K. Hall about getting the site
plan together showing proposed location of building, taxiway, and septic systems because
we will need it for council approval. Mr. Jones stated we have looked at the future
development area west of the runway, however, they want to be able to house a larger
aircraft and you can't get a Gulf Stream down thru the alley area; so it would not make
sense to place the hangar where they could not access it. Mr. Jones further stated this is
why we have chosen this location. Motion was by Billy Copeland, seconded by Fred
Williams to recommend approval of the lease agreement to City Council. Motion carried
5-0.
Report, discussion and possible action on the findings of the sub-committee regarding an
open house/fly-in at the airport.
Jeanna Scott made report of status to board members. Jack Ashmore requested we extend
an invitation to ride on the C47 to the City Council. Shawn Napier stated he would take
care of inviting City Council. Advisory members discussed number of rides to give away
and how often drawings will be held. The general consensus was there would be 12
additional rides to give away not including the rides that are offered to City Council
Members and drawings will be held every 30 minutes.
Request for future agenda items. Fly-In wrap up.
