Bergner Chairman Bob McGee called the meeting to order at 12:00 PM. 1. Minutes of July 2008 Airport Commission Meeting Motion was made and seconded to accept the July 2008 Minutes. Motion passed. 2. Fred Ochoa Project This item of discussion is regarding a total revision of the design plan for a portion of the southeast end of the Airport, that has been proposed by Mr. Ochoa. Curt stated that he had contacted Sandy of the FAA, and she wanted to speak with Rob Oates, City Council Representative on the Commission. Rob stated that basically, she said the Commission could do what they want, that it's their airport. It is her opinion that the Commission might consider looking at alternatives for the other side during the new Master Plan development, and just follow the existing Master Plan for this side. Rob Oates stated that he was not excited about asking other existing owners to change and adjust to a different plan, when they committed under the current Master Plan. He appreciates Fred's planning, but leans strongly toward turning down this proposal. Phil Fouts agreed, saying we should stick with the current plan, especially since other lessees prefer no change. Hoyt Fleming stated that Fred has locked up many lots, with the understanding that a previous plan was in place. He agreed that the Commission should stick to the original plan. Tom Lemenager mentioned that Sandy seems to use the lack of completion on the west side of the Airport to block going forward on the east side. He stated that Fred's promise to build the road and move that process forward would be a plus, in that the FAA would see the west side being completed. ��_��g�� i�i��f�� - fi��l c�r�� %� iI2�C�� 1 c�� < Rob Oates stated that he is still reluctant, based on what was said about following the Master Plan. A motion was made by Rob Oates stating: "The Commission prefers that airport development proceed according to the Master Plan, but is leaving the door open for other plans that would be more in keeping with the Master Plan." Motion passed. Fred Ochoa will be notified of this decision. 3. FY 2009 Proposed Airport Budget Copies of the FY 2009 Budget were given to Commission Members. Discussion ensued regarding same, and Curt Hawkins fielded questions by the members. Questions were asked regarding taxes generated by the airport, future restrooms, lease revenues, etc. Curt suggested the members take the budget home and look at it closer. In response to the Commission's concern of the sparseness of the proposed budget, Rob Oates stated that times are tough and he has recommended that the city not raise taxes. He went on to explain his reasons in more detail; one factor being that the city is still growing but not as fast as in previous years, therefore income for the city is down. Hoyt questioned an item regarding the new terminal building construction - $150,000. He stated that this seems incorrect. Rob Oates suggested this is probably the city's contribution. Marty Koch suggested that EIJay Waite be invited to meet with the Commission for a workshop on understanding the budgeting process, with an eye to being more involved in future budgets. It will be too late to affect this year's budget, since the budget will have been approved prior to the next meeting, but the Commission wants to have input next year. Curt will invite EIJay for the October 2" Meeting. This matter was tabled until that meeting takes place. 4. Airport By-Laws Bob McGee discussed the copies of By-Laws that were discovered in the archives, and questioned which one this Commission goes by. Discussion ensued as to how many alternate Commission Members there are and should be, and the rotation on and off the Commission by members/alternates. Bob suggested that an update be done on the By-Laws. This matter was tabled for future discussion after members have reviewed the documents. They will discuss and make suggestions for revision at a future meeting. w�<3_��ac��t�� (� iL�€r3�.��:s - sie�?�( dr�ft £�:'� i12�� Z�f � . . 5. Cancellation of September Meeting Bob McGee posed the question of whether to have a Commission meeting in September, since it would be close to Labor Day.

Apprenticeship Mack Kreizenbeck read a letter of application from a student of Thomas Jefferson Charter School who would like to work at the airport as a project for school.
