AIP Update
Skinner informed Lamb that the gate on Airport Road off of Dead Indian Memorial is still broken. Lamb will follow up with the project manager to get this resolved as it is a safety issue.
The commissioners who had seen the tarmac where the tie-downs were reinstalled were upset with the sloppy concrete job that was done. Skinner asked Olson to see if grinding off the
excess concrete would be possible. Lamb will ask Olson if there are any other treatments to clean up the concrete.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT/FBO REPORT/AIRPORT ASSOCIATION:
A.
Status of Airport, Financial Report, Review of Safety Reports
The activity has been quiet at the airport during the last month. The actuator button for the disabled button on the door is broken. Lamb will send a message to Dale Peters to have it
fixed. Lamb and Skinner have both been in touch with the Fire Department and Margueritte Hickman will be available to help with hangar inspections. Lamb would like to send a letter
to the renters informing them of possible upcoming inspections along with reminders of allowed uses.
Staff and Skinner need to work on the Steve Green issue. The utilities will need to be worked out. Skinner may put Green under his company to keep the insurance costs manageable for
Green. Lamb has been working on the fees that would need to be collected and forward them on to Skinner. Then it will be up to Skinner to decide if the costs pencil out. The commission
would hate to lose Green's business at the airport. He has a wonderful reputation as a painter.
Staff will call and ask why Ashland Airport was not named under the ODA Annual Report naming airports who received grants and other program benefits.
Airport Association:
Hamilton will try to be granted an exemption for the FAA insurance regulations. The exemption may allow the airport to continue to fly tours around the valley. He will report back when
he knows more.
