ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
a. Corporate Hangar L—
i. Public Hearing—Dulek reminded everyone present that this was a continuation of
the public hearing from the July 21 meeting. Tharp noted that Scott was distributing
cost estimates and the revised plans and specs which the Commission wanted to
see. Scott described the plan details with Members. Members asked questions
regarding the plans to which Scott responded. Mascari expressed caution for the
Commission and described the construction of Building F. Mascari noted that shortly
after the construction the FBO at the airport had left and that caused the budget
issues that the airport experienced. Mascari noted that given the economic climate
he felt spending this amount of money was not occurring at the best time. Members
discussed the financing of the project. Tharp noted that tonight the decision is to
send out the plans as presented to bid. Wolford noted that he felt the space was
needed and that getting more hangar space would be good. Wolford noted that the
fuel prices at Iowa City were less than other places in the area and that was also
attracting aircraft to the airport. Mascari reiterated his concern with the timing of the
project noting that this would be a vote that would not be unanimous.
ii. Consider a Resolution Approving Plans, Specifications, and Form of Contract for the
Construction of Hangar L—Crane moved resolution#A11-19, seconded by
Assouline. Motion carried 4-1, Mascari voting negative.
Scott asked about next meeting. Tharp noted that if the Commission meets for their regular
meeting on the 25th, they would not need to set a special meeting. Members discussed the new
date. Members agreed to move the regular meeting to the 25th at 5pm
