given it has been in operation for almost a year. Annette Murray reported that
fuel demand changes month-to-month and year-to-year and no pattern has yet
developed. She also mentioned that some users are still having problems
operating the system properly. Education of users by staff continues.

The committee asked for an update on the prolonged construction of the Miller
hangar. Dan Locke and Annette Murray will be meeting with the owner to
discuss the ongoing issues.

6.2.1. Temporary Shipping Containers located on Airport Property
Annette Murray asked for the Committee’s input on requests that have been
received to place two 10’ X 40’ shipping containers beside the Lee and Kniss
hangars to be used for temporary storage of aircraft parts. Discussion ensued,
with the Committee recommending the following conditions be discussed with
Legal:
• Containers only be allowed on the commercial side of the Airport.
• The container placements be “temporary” pending further discussion with
Legal on what the maximum period should be.
• The containers not be allowed to impede other hangar owners.
• A flat per square foot fee agreement be negotiated as owners currently
lease only the space occupied by the footprint of the hangar.

• Requests for container placement be in writing to the Airport Manager,
and include a site plan drawing and requested duration of placement.

apply to the garden shed currently in place. Annette Murray will follow up.

Dan Locke reported that the Master Plan and associated works from the Plan
were deleted from the 2018 Budget. Discussion ensued. The Committee asked
about ongoing maintenance and was assured that all the crack sealing had been
completed this year, and general maintenance such as filling corners on the
taxiway, covering the water line trench, tie down moves, etc., are being
completed through the operations budget. The Committee reiterated the need
for completion of the Master Plan as soon as possible to ensure continued
improvements and growth of the Airport.
