4. Finance/Budget —
a) Airport financial statements — Report attached
• November 2015 70.5% budget used, 91.7% of year expired
A reconciliation of finances shows a deduction from the Airport Construction fund of $2,191 for the
2013 grant (Master Plan, ALP update), and $17,304 for the 2014 grant (pavement reclamation project
design costs).
5. Operational Issues (Open Proiects)
a) ASI Jet (Offices) — ASI and the vendor have been in contact with the City's building department to
determine requirements for the office building that ASI is proposing to install at the location of the
former Park residence.
b) 2014/2015 AIP Project Update (Runway, taxiway, apron rehab) — Final steps in the project will be,
finishing the electrical work (which consists of replacing sign panels), and final striping. Malecha
reported that the electrical subcontractor has ordered the sign panels, but has not yet received them.
The sign panels could be installed on a warm day this winter. Final striping will be done in the spring,
when weather conditions are favorable.
c) AIP Capital Projects — At this time, the proposal is to incorporate the following projects for 2016:
Runway, taxiway, apron pavement sealing
T -hangar site preparation
The funding for the T -hangar site preparation is proposed to come from the Infrastructure Maintenance
Fund. This fund is used for a variety of City infrastructure, but also serves as an emergency
maintenance fund, so it is possible that funding would not be available by the time it is needed for the
grant match.

6. Other Discussions & New Business
a) Other discussions/new business: Prosector -The projector came in. The screen has been mounted.
The mounting bracket was not the right one. A new one is on its way, which is designed for the grid
system false ceiling that's in the conference room. Once the correct mounting bracket is installed, an
electrician will be able to wire directly to the mounting bracket. Once all of the components are
installed, the system will be configured to be able to use it with wall -mounted or wireless connections.
b) Library — Discussions were held regarding furniture for a library in the lobby. Due to the nature of
various books, magazines, and manuals that may be included, enclosed shelving would probably be the
best option for maintaining a neat, clean -looking environment for the lobby. Shelving options are
available under the window to the pilots' lounge and flight planning room.
At 6:10, a motion to adjourn was made by Dooley, second by Hahn. Unanimous approval.
