Jerry Sharp discussed the visit by the OAC to evaluate the conditions of the runway, taxiways and terminal building at the airport. Chuck Mills and Jim Collard provided additional information they received from a meeting with the OAC.
ITEM THREE:
DISCUSS SPECIAL CALL MEETING REGARDING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AT AIRPORT
Chuck Mills outlined the proposal by Acorn Growth Companies to enter into a long term lease with the City of Shawnee contingent on Acorn’s acquisition of the business assets of Oklahoma Jetworks.
ITEM FOUR:
DISCUSS UPDATE ON HANGAR IMPROVEMENTS
There was a discussion regarding the two quotes received to install electricity to the T-hangars. Rethford Electric’s quote was $ 21,993.98 and Wilson Electric’s quote was $10,800.00. Since both quotes exceed $7500.00 staff will be required to go out for competitive bidding. Mike Cox, City Code Enforcement Officer, gave an explanation of the code requirements for such improvements.
ITEM FIVE:
DISCUSS FORMING A WORKING GROUP TO UPDATE AIRPORT BUSINESS PLAN
It was decided to defer this item until the next meeting when the terms begin for the new board members.
Jerry Sharp gave staff report on fuel sales and financial statement.
ITEM SEVEN:
A/C AT ARMY RESERVE BUILDING
There was a discussion regarding the air conditioning unit at the Army Reserve building, which is not operational. Although the lease states that the City is not responsible for repairs at the building, the tenant has communicated they will not make the needed repairs and will not stay at a building with no air conditioning. Since the City would be left to make the repair if the tenant left, it was decided to proceed with repairs. A motion was made by Dick Romine and seconded by Jim Taheri to accept the bid of $9358.48 by Walker Heating and Air Conditioning. Motion carried.
AYE: Romine, Taheri, Mainord, Toole,
NAY: None

ITEM NINE:
BOARD COMMENTS
Wes Mainord recommended the new board members form committees to handle separate issues such as land leases, ect. The committee would make recommendations to the board which might save time at the meetings.
