Projects identified in Board discussion included hanger
construction, security fencing and drainage. It was noted
that revenue generating projects should be at the top of the
list.
• Staff gave a briefing about the Fuel Farm /Apron project. It
was noted by several Board members that the delay to
start and complete the first apron phase appeared to take
longer than necessary. Staff commented that the first
apron phase was delayed for two weeks because of
access to a tenant's hanger.
• Staff provided information about proposed appraisal and
tax changes to leased hanger and ground space. The
Board directed staff to invite the Wichita Appraisal District
to the next meeting (November 17th)to give more
explanation on this issue.
• The Board briefly discussed the proposed lease presented
by staff. It was noted that the tenants appreciated the
opportunity to make changes to the draft copy earlier in the
week. Staff requested that the Board review the lease one
more time, and to provide those comments to LeAnn
Moran before the next meeting. Staff noted that the new
leases will be distributed by January 1, 2012.
2. Municipal Airport
• Staff gave a report on the Phase II Runway 17 -35 project.
At this time, staff is waiting for Sheppard Air Force Base to
allow access to the runway facility. It was noted that the
project had been bid and awarded to Duininck Brothers.
• Staff gave a report on the upcoming Military Airports
Application. The application is due on November 21, 2011.
It was discussed that the new application will require a
political presence in Washington, D.C. in order to have any
success of designation into the program.
