The City Council in December 2002, revised the Code of Ordinances
to repeal outdated provisions relating to requirements for an Airport
Security Division and Joint Airport Zoning Board. Also, to omit
certain requirements of permits for aeronautical activities relating to
fire, rescue and emergency training and serving as a volunteer on the
fire and rescue crew. The final deletion related to Aircraft Charter
Service, deleting Section 6-28 Section 2, stating ready to depart within
a specified maximum notice period of twelve (12) hours. This action
was taken at the request of the Airport Board.
The City Council in December took action on the aviation permits that
were recommended to them by the Airport Board. All permits were
granted as requested to J.B. Richey, Inc., David Jones, Jimmy Smyers
and Knox Sprayers.
Mr. Haynes reported that he had spoken to City Attorney Larry Schenk
and that he was ready to go forward with the contract when he was
assured that the total installation charge would be under $25,000.00.
Mr. Schenk requested that J.B. Richey have the plans and diagram
forwarded to our City Engineer, Shawn Napier, for review.
Mr. Haynes advised that the gate operator could not be repaired. Mike
Boswell of Electron Security advised that he could install and new
gate operator for $2,400.00. Mr. Haynes called TxDOT Aviation and
secured a RAMP grant which will pay for one-half of the cost or
$1,200.00. We plan to call Mr. Boswell and tell him to go forward
with the new gate operator.
