CALL TO ORDER:
Chairperson Mascari called the meeting to order at 12:02 p.m.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION—ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA:
Ron Duffe, from Iowa Aero, said he was interested in leasing Building D. He said he proposed a
rent of$ 500.00 per month. He said he and Ellis had discussed the idea of Iowa Aero making
improvements to the interior of the building and deducting it from their rent. Duffe asked to have
a two to three year lease and he would like to have something as soon as possible. Mascari said a
meeting could be scheduled for October 25,at 1:00 p.m.
Dick Blum, from H.R. Green, said he wanted to give the Commission an update on the new fuel
site. He said a problem has developed with the paint on the 100LL tank. In researching the
problem, he discovered that the paint was not what was required in the plans and specifications.
He is working with Double-Check and the subcontractor to correct the problem. He will also
check the paint on the Jet A tank.
Blum said he contacted Double-Check concerning whether it was possible to have multi-pricing
at the 100LL pump. He said this was not included in the original software bid. It could be added
for about$2000.00. This would allow corporate customers or planes based on the field to
receive a discount. This will be an item for discussion at the November 8 Commission meeting.
Ellis asked about the light at the self-service pump? Blum said that was discussed early in the
project and the decision was made to light the pump area and not the entire fueling area.
Blum suggested the Commission appoint an alternate to the Airport Zoning Commission.
PUBLIC HEARING

CCR's at their meeting on November 8. Ellis moved to continue the public hearing to November
8. Anderson seconded the motion and it was approved 3 -0. O'Neil said he told Overton that the
Commission would like to act on the lease at the next meeting. Comments and/or changes would

ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
a. Lot#10,Aviation Commerce Park- This will be deferred until the November 8,2001,
meeting.
b. FBO leases-Matthews said because the lease from Jet Air is for more than three years,it
will require a public hearing. He said the agenda for this meeting was not specific
enough to set the public hearing today. Mascari said the public hearing notice could be
set at the October 25,2001 Commission meeting. The public hearing will be set for a
special meeting on November 1, 2001,at 1:00 p.m.
O'Neil said there were some changes to the lease from the copy the Commission had
received two days ago. One was an address change. Another was clarification about
who paid the line charges for the DTN weather and the FSS telephone. O'Neil said he
wanted to point out that the options in the lease were at Jet Air's option. The
Commission would be locking into the possibility of a twenty-five year lease. The
original lease term has a stepped schedule for rent, averaging$ 2233.33 per month over
the 60-month term.
O'Neil will add an Exhibit A to the lease. Anderson suggested adding each room number
to the lease. Although the Commission could not officially accept the lease,the
consensus was that,pending the public hearing,the Commission was in favor of the
terms presented by Jet Air for a five-year FBO lease.
