MOTION CARRIED
(DISCUSSION REGARDING THE ABOVE GROUND FUEL STORAGE)
Dean Dishman stated that he felt some discussion should be
held and a decision made regarding the storage of fuel in the
private hangars at the airport. Chairman Dishman felt that no
fuel should be stored at all above ground. It was his

Much discussion followed this suggestion. Bob Nicholes

He asked the Commission to consider what other items were
priorities for this year. They discussed needing snow removal
equipment and possibly having the Park Department come out to
emN the airport to do some work on the landscaping around the
Manager' s house .
After more discussion, it was decided that the first priority
would be a maintenance hangar to store equipment such as the
fire truck and sweeper they hoped to have soon. It was decided
that consideration should be given to putting an extension on
the maintenance hangar under construction at that time by
Madden Construction. The two pieces of equipment could be
stored in this addition by parking them nose to nose to nose
with a storage space left between them. It was decided that
Mr. Madden would draw up a plan to see how much money it
would cost.
