The Commission then received the financial reports as explained by the City Administrator.

 

The next item on the agenda was an update on the National Guard Armory Construction Project. City

Administrator Johnson stated that a recent communication with the Iowa National Guard indicated they still

plan to move forward on this project. They anticipate funding opportunities to be presented to them for

construction beginning at the earliest the fall of 2007 through the fall of 2008. The city will proceed with

finalizing an exchange agreement with the Iowa National Guard in anticipation of this activity taking place.

 

There was also general discussion concerning the crosswind taxiway construction project that is

ongoing, the opportunities to lobby FAA directly in Kansas City, the possibility of the construction of new t­

hangars, and improvements at the general aviation hangar. There was also discussion concerning the recent

ice storm and material that the airport should have on hand to combat this. City Administrator Johnson

authorized the purchase of non­salt ice melting product to be used at the airport. He also authorized airport

staff to utilize an outside contractor for putting the material down.

 

With no other business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 5:55 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,
