    AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES
    MONDAY – AUGUST 25, 2008
    AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING
    The Muscatine Airport Advisory Commission meeting was called to order at 5:00 p.m. Commission
    members present were Phil Fitzgerald, Jerald Cale, and Wayne Tooman. Also present were City
    Administrator A.J. Johnson and Airport Manager Janet Lewis.
    The first item on the agenda was the approval of the April 28, 2008 minutes
    It was moved by Commission member Tooman and seconded by Commission member Fitzgerald that
    the minutes be approved. There was no discussion and the minutes were approved unanimously.
    Under the construction and armory update, City Administrator Johnson indicated that the construction
    of the crosswind runway taxiway was underway and that City Council recently approved Change Order #4 for
    the project. Change Order #4 consists of the extension of the completion deadline to October 15, 2008 and to
    add additional funds for rock for the base of the taxiway. City Administrator Johnson explained that the
    project has been delayed by a number of weather-related issues and the contractor had to spend a considerable
    amount of time “de-watering” the site. In addition, the City Administrator stated that the National Guard
    Armory project will begin sometime in 2009. The City Administrator was in contact with the Iowa National
    Guard representative on the project who indicated construction would begin at that time.
    The City Administrator also shared with Commission members recent legislative issues as well as the
    notification of denial of funds for the construction of the storage unit for the newly acquired snow removal
    equipment.
    There was a question concerning the delivery of the equipment. City Administrator Johnson did not
    know the delivery date but would find out and distribute the information to Commission members.
    There was also discussion concerning the establishment of a minimum standard for dispensing of fuel
    as well as spraying for weeds on the tarmac and runway area.
    The meeting adjourned at 5:50 p.m.
    Respectfully submitted,
    A.J. Johnson
    City Administrator
