The committee recommends that the rental rate be increased from the current rate of $00.14 per square per year to $00.15 per square foot per year.

4.B. RATIFICATION OF WORK ORDER No. 05-01 WITH MEAD & HUNT

The Airport Certification Manual requires maps showing the location of all signs and markings on the airfield. The F.A.A. requires that these be completed with the use of CAD (Computer Assisted Design) and in specific colors. Inyokern has 49 signs and airfield markings. Although the manual was completed by staff, it is not possible for them to do the required sign/marking plans.

The District entered into an agreement for Consulting Services with Mead & Hunt in February, 2005. Because of the deadline for submittal of the maps, Ms. Bass issued a Work Order to Mead & Hunt for this project and now requests ratification of that action by the Board of Directors.

Following a short discussion on this matter motion was made by Director Rosenthal, seconded by Director Farris,
TO RATIFY WORK ORDER NO. 05-01 ISSUED TO MEAD & HUNT FOR SIGN AND MARKING PLANS FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $3,000.00. Motion was approved with 3 ayes, 2 absent.

Director Farris requested that this item be continued to the next meeting and this was done.

5. DISTRICT COUNSEL

Mr. Nave stated that he had discussed the property tax distribution with Director Bozack on the phone and he asked if anybody else had any questions. There were no other questions. Mr. Nave had no other report.

6. DISTRICT MANAGER

• Skywest enplanements for the month of July were 1026.
• The parking lot and Airport Road project has been delayed by weather, but the material for the sealing is now scheduled for Monday, August 8. Mr. Seymour indicated that the planters are scheduled for delivery on that date, but if they are delayed the project will be extended until they are in place.
• The A.P.C.D. has sent the funds for the Ford Escape, and contrary to what the District expected, they also paid the sales tax due on the vehicle.
• The Cessna 182 which will be used as a tow plane for the gliders is now ready and is scheduled to be used this week-end.

7. COMMITTEE REPORTS

AD HOC – Airport Tours: Ms. Bozack reported that Mr. Mohn is preparing a report on the tour of California City Airport and will probably report at the September meeting. The tour of Minter Field is scheduled for August 12 at 10:30 a.m., to begin at the Manager’s office. Mr. Seymour said that this date may be changed if the planters for the terminal parking lot arrive that day. Interested parties will be notified of any change in the date.

LEASE: Director Rosenthal reported for this committee under Agenda item 4.A.

SPECIAL EVENTS: Ms. Bass reported that a Safety Seminar is planned for September and a Fly-in is scheduled for October. The dates will be provided as soon as they are determined. Flyers will be included with the September Newsletter if possible.

8. PUBLIC COMMENT

Mr. Glasco commented that the Marketing Plan has not been reviewed for 4 years and the results of the last plan
should be discussed and changed if necessary. Mr. Glasco emphasized the continued delay of completing the review of the plan. He suggested a working group be put together to complete a revised plan which could then come to the Board for review and action as a more efficient way to complete this. Ms. Bozack suggested a Special Workship Meeting and it was decided to do this in order to complete the revision of the plan.

Mr. Glasco also had the following comments.

The airport tours are interesting and informative, and the ideas from the tours may be compiled as a list and reviewed for possible implementation of some of them at Inyokern.

Mr. Glasco intends to do an informal survey of airport pilots/users and make a “wish list” of things they would like to see done or improved at the airport.

AOPA now has a web page for the representatives, and it is very interesting and informative. He has gotten some ideas for revenue generation and income increases. He suggested perhaps a fly-in for coffee or some other events that might also be informative and fun.

The fuel prices on the AV web page have not been updated.

9. BOARD COMMENT

DIRECTOR FARRIS: No comments.

DIRECTOR ROSENTHAL: Mr. Rosenthal thanked the members of the public for participating in the meeting. He asked if the Mojave Air Show is still scheduled, and Ms. Bass said it has been canceled. The reason for cancellation was provided by Ms. Bozack, who said that a runway construction project interfered with the date.

DIRECTOR BOZACK: Ms. Bozack stated that she had information about the Association of California Airports fall conference in Lake Tahoe if anyone is interested. Ms. Bass said that as a member of the ACA she had already received the information and Mr. Seymour might be able to attend.
Mrs. Bozack asked for a breakdown on the salary item in the FY 2005-2006 budget.
