AIRPORT COMMISSION
The City Manager reported the Airport Commission minutes were corrected
to eliminate the confusion regarding the lease for Beacon access. The
corrected version indicates that the Commission would consider, the
matter prior to action by the Council.
City Manager reported he had attended the recent Airport Commission
meeting at which time need for the Beacon was discussed. The
matter came up because of the position F.A.A. has expressed in
regard to maintaining the Beacon. They no longer have an interest
in the beacon since they prefer instrument control; however, the
Airport Commission is not in agreement with this position. A letter
from the Airport Commission was read giving reasons why the cOmmission
is of the opinion there is a need for continuing operation of the
Beacon. The City Manager reported the 20 year lease for access to the
beacon over private property expires December 1, 1969, and the property
owner has proposed a substantial increase in said lease. The Council
will be advised at the time a definite proposal is ready for consideration.
The City Manager reported that the Airport Commission had changed
their previous position and agreed to redesign the south tie-down
area. This will result in gaining tie-down spaces to achieve maximum
use of limited grOund area. A sketch will be made of the project
together with cost figures for black-topping the area in connection
with this change to eliminate aircraft damage from loose gravel.
The City Manager reported the proposed building project with F.A.A.
has been stalled.
