who are encouraged to review them and return any continents to staff. Of particular note is the
anticipated growth rate of approximately 1.3% per year for the next 20 years. This figure is in line
with this area of Minnesota and also is reasonable when compared to both Federal and State
forecasts.

a. City staff and Bolton & Menk continue to work with MnDOT & FAA on a proposed pavement
reclamation project for construction 2015. The documentation for the project has been submitted
for an engineering grant in 2014 and a construction grant in 2015.
c) Airport services discussion.
a. Draft Agreement
i. Olson presented the draft agreement with ASI Jet AG, LLC. This agreement was drafted
following negotiations held on February 20 with ASI Jet AG, LLC, City Administrator
and Public Works Manager. Also in attendance at that meeting was the Public Works
Secretary, who had conducted the reference checks.
ii. Discussion was held regarding the agreement and many questions came up. The financial
provisions of the draft agreement were an increase in rent to $1,200 per month, and ftlel
flowage fees of $0.08 (for 1- 25,000 gal.): $0.085 (for 25,001- 50,000 gal.): and, $0.10 (for
50,001+ gal.). Many other provisions were discussed, and there were questions about
some of them.
iii. To allow for an appropriate amount of time for Commissioners to review and make any
continents concerning the draft agreement or make recommendations to change the
agreement, the Airport Commission determined that it would be in the best interest to
provide a copy to all Airport Commissioners, allowing them the opportunity to ask any
questions and provide any continents to City staff. The continents can be collated and
available for the March 20 Airport Commission meeting.
5. Other Discussions & New Business
a. Minnesota Airports Conference will be held at Bemidji Airport on April 16, 17 & 18. If
Commissioners are interested in attending, they should notify City staff as soon as possible. City
staff was directed to send out an email invitation to all Commissioners.
