Attendance and guests were noted. The minutes of the meetings of June 12 and August 14 were considered and approved. Manager Zehr presented the month's bills to the members and explained them briefly. Mr. Phipps moved to accept and approve the bills for payment; second by George; the motion passed. Mr. Zehr announced the completion of the taxi way marker project. He then introduced Mr. Wayne Overman and Mr. Harold Bogert, of Howard R. Green Company, who presented and explained plans and drawings for the proposed corporate hangar. Mr. Overman made an overall cost estimate of $150,000, and explained that the basic, functional building can be built for about $90,000, with the total project being staged to keep the expenses within the budget. Mr. George recommended that the city engineers look at the plans before the bids are let. George moved to hold a public hearing on the project on September 25, 1980, at 7:30 p.m.; second by Phipps, the motion passed. It was estimated that the building can be built within six weeks of the letting of the bids. Mr. Zehr showed a picture of the gazebos which the River Front Commission plans to build at Sturgis Ferry Park. Zehr reported on a request which has been received to change from the congested 122.8 radio frequency to 122.7. He added, however, that the FAA will be assigning frequencies in the not too distant future, and recommended that the Iowa City Airport wait for that assignment rather than making a change now and another later. The commissioners agreed by consensus. Mr. Zehr reported that 25 acres of soy beans have been lost to an overgrowth of wild sunflowers, despite efforts to contain them. The land will be planted in oats next year, and then winter wheat, in order to kill the next crop of sunflowers before they can produce seed. Acting Chairman Redick reported having attended a noise symposium, calling it an interesting and positive experience.
