construct an 80 foot by 80 foot hangar for approximately $650,000. Tharp noted
that he expected the application to ask the state for$250,000 in grant funds, which
had been the previous high award, but that a number less than that might be what
was offered. Rettig asked about the repayment options with the city. Horan stated
the city council likes to maintain a loan payoff in 10-12 years. Tharp stated that as
in the past the airport would be most likely be loaned the money from the landfill
cash reserves. Rettig asked about when the grant had to be used. Tharp
responded that the grant agreements have given 1 year to have the project under
contract. Commission concurred with submitting the application for a new hangar.
