1. Review and approval of September 24, 2008 meeting minutes

The September 24, 2008 Board Meeting minutes were reviewed.  Gary moved and Stan seconded the motion to approve the minutes.  Motion passed by a vote of 7-0.

2.   Airport Manager’s Report

The Manager’s Report is attached.

3.   FBO Report

Lloyd Hetrick reported that he has submitted the Lawrence add to the AOPA directory.

4.  T-Hanger Proposal

Mr. Chuck Kellerman, ADG, presented his findings in developing a more up to date cost estimate for the construction of additional T-hangers.   He discovered that the cost of materials has essentially doubled over our initial estimates.  The cost drivers are the increased cost of steel and asphalt.  The Board agreed that we needed to gather more information before proceeding with the project.  The Board asked ADG to provide more costs estimates.  And the Board and City Staff would provide additional financial analysis.  The analysis would include lumping the income streams and debt for all T-hangers into a consolidated report.

6. Sewer Expansion to the Airport

Roger provided several scenarios for providing sewer service to the airport.  It appears the total cost would be over $2 million.

7. Airport Master Plan Update

We should attempt to complete it in 2010.

The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:15 p.m. 

Next Meeting time is 6:30 p.m. December 11, 2008 in the Richardson Memorial Pilots' Lounge at the Lawrence Municipal Airport Terminal Building.
