o
Feedback on the lighting of the self service fuel system was given by
the Advisory Board members. All the comments received were very
positive and everyone is happy with the lighting.
°
Feedback of reflectors on the North and South taxiways and near the
self service fuel system was given by the Advisory Board members.
The reflectors on the North and South taxiways and near the self
service fuel system work fine. The yellow paint is not reflective paint
and the ground up beads do not reflect. However, the yellow strips
can be seen by the taxi light and is helpful going to the hangars.
Mr. Haynes reported on the status on repair of rubber boot at top of
hangars B-7 and B-9 to avoid water standing in hangars. We have
continued to contact Pete Miller and have decided that Mr. Miller is
not going to be available so we have gone to a second source; Mark
Cunningham, for a price quote.
Mr. Haynes reported on the status of ILS approach at Cox Field. He
stated that he had talked to several people at the FAA office in Fort
Worth. The ball park cost of this system is $1,500,000 to $2,000,000.
There are no grants that will fund this amount and the FAA would
have to have a need for it. Our number of operations do not qualify us
for this system. Jerry Richey advised that the WAAS system is a
vertical navigation GPS precision approach. You would have to have
instrument approach lights for 17. Jerry Richey advised that he has an
article on the WAAS system and will bring the information to us to
contact the proper people.
Chairman Abeles requested items from the Board for future agenda
items. Mr. Ashmore requested a sub committee be appointed to meet
with the City Attorney and the Airport Director to discuss the private
hangars policy. Several airports are selling or leasing the land to
people who will build their private hangars and be put on the tax rolls
immediately. Victor Abeles appointed Vic Ressler and Andy Fasken
to meet with City Attorney and Airport Director regarding the private
hangar policy.
