The review appraisal from Pat Fisher on the OBU property was reviewed and discussed. The FAA requested this review of the other appraisals by Joella Jones and Dick Grace to insure the Airport is receiving fair market value for property.
ITEM THREE:
DISCUSS AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS
There was a discussion regarding Airport improvements and possible funding for these projects. Discussion on renovation of the terminal building will be deferred until there is a decision on House Bill 2082, the Airport Modernization Bill. Jerry Sharp stated that staff is in the process of applying for a grant to crack seal the runway and the deadline for this application is July 1, 2007.
ITEM FOUR:
DISCUSS PROPOSED BUDGET
Jim Collard and Steve Nolen presented the 2007-2008 proposed Airport budget. There were several Capital projects that had to be eliminated due to lack of funding. Possible plans to improve the revenue stream were discussed. Jim Collard stated the financial goal of the Airport is to be as self sustaining as possible.
ITEM FIVE:
MEETING WITH SEDF AND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Chuck Mills requested a plan to host a meeting with several entities including the SEDF, Chamber of Commerce, Industrial Authority and the County Oversight Committee. He stated that all of these groups represent citizens who benefit from the Airport and therefore should be included in the development of the Airport.
Mark White commented that the maintenance of the runway must be the top priority of the Airport and grants to provide the maintenance should be applied for each year. He also stated that most small airports are not self sustaining due to a limited revenue stream and in order to be successful an airport must have a mix of general aviation, corporate and commercial tenants.
Lori Roach stated that a tower would be considered an important draw to future businesses.
ITEM EIGHT:
BOARD COMMENTS
Jim Taheri stated that since the project to extend the taxiway to the Expo Center would be most beneficial to the Expo, the County should provide the funding. He also recommended an evaluation process which would include staff, board members and general appearance of airport.
ITEM NINE:
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Terry Toole and seconded by Mike Langley to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried.
