impacts relative to our proposed Airport Master Plan and future
projects thereof. The second document to be approved would be
the Master Plan Update itself for the Caldwell Airport.
Essentially the Master Plan as finalized is very close to what
was done in 1977 as far as facilities and alignment are
concerned. The only major change has been that the separations
required between the buildings and the main transport runway nave
been extended from 500 feet to 750 feet, Therefore, the
transport runway has been shifted farther to the Northeast. Mr.

Mr. Redmond informed the City Council that last Friday the City
met with Mr. €-tosac to finalize the Grant Application. At that
time the understanding was that the City's grant monies were cut
back to $387,000. it was found on Friday that this was not
right; the monies had been escalated back up to .$605,000.
Consequently, they were now in the process of revamping the Grant
application. The proposed project would amount to approximately
$705,000.13. To identify the major categories: Administration,,
purchase of three parcels of property, covering a fee for
appraisal. and acquisition, to crack seal, and slurry the existing
runway and the existing apron to take care of the immediate
maintenance problems the Airport has. The total of the two
construction items is almost $120,000 plus engineering and design
of the final runway and the dollar amount stipulated in their_
informational material. This would establish a readily designed
project and as funds become available, the City could proceed
with construction at any time. Restriping and marking the runway
was also put back into the application because once they crack
seal and slurry, the markings will be gone. The project was
better now because the Airport can be helped immediately and can
also move ahead with the property purchase and the designs of the
overall project that the City is moving towards.
mr. Redmond then stated that lie u7oul.d like action from the City
Council to authorize the Mayor, Councilman Carter, or himself to
