Mr. Pete Miller has not completed the job. Victor Abeles advised that
he would call Pete and see if he could get the job done.
4. Jerry Richey gave a report on the GPS approach on runway 17 and that
we have an ANA survey which is needed to get a vertical navigation
approach. Jerry will contact Charley Kettler with FAA in Ft. Worth to
get us more information. There is an application that has to be
complete. The only cost that Jerry thinks we may have to pay is
additional lighting on the 17-35 runway. He will give us more
information by next meeting.
5. A discussion was held regarding the meeting held on November 6,
2003 with Vic Ressler, Andrew Fasken, Larry Schenk and Tommy
Haynes regarding our current private hangar policy. Mr. Haynes
secured a model lease from TxDOT Aviation and passed it out to
members present. There was a difference of opinion as when the
ownership of the private hangar passed to the City. The insurance,
taxes, and land lease are the main issues. The Board requested that
Larry Schenk review the current policy to see when the ownership of
the private hangar becomes the ownership of the City. David Jones
expressed interest in building a private hangar but not with the current
policy. Mr. Jones stated that he would put in writing what he would
do. The Board requested that Mr. Haynes ask for an answer on the
ownership of private hangars.
6. The Board requested that items 3, 4, and 5 be put on next months
agenda.
7. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 P.M.
Thomas E. Haynes, Recorder
