Page Baldwin addressed the commission regarding a wind turbine that is being considered for placement on his property. Commissioner Conklin asked if this wind turbine would adversely affect the Rio Vista airport. Mr. Baldwin asked Mr. Andoh to research to make sure that this wind turbine will not adversely affect the airport. Commissioner Currie said that FAA should be contacted about this for the best information. Mr. Andoh will discuss with Fred Mitchell at FAA and report back to the Commission.

RNAV: Due to proposed changes to RNAV for Runway 25 and Mr. Andoh needs technical assistance to draft a response to the FAA regarding this manner, Commissioner Currie has volunteered to help John with this in any way. Ed McGaw(sp) will also be involved in this.

7. Discussion and Possible Action Regarding New Lease Agreements

Motion: Commissioner Conklin motioned that any forward movement be halted with respect to new lease agreements until the finance department gets completely caught up and through their transition in the department. Second: Chairman Cattey Ayes: 7 Noes: 0

Commissioner Currie suggested that Mr. Andoh report back to the commission with bullet points that point out what is missing/needed on the current lease agreement and revise the new one with just those points. The commissioners all agree that the new document is too lengthy.

Commissioner Currie has concerns with Paragraph 5 in the new lease agreement stating that only a registered, flyable aircraft, or one currently being built and/or being brought up to a flyable state can be stored in the hangars. He agrees with the airplane part but wonders why it matters if it flies or not as long as they are paying their rent. He suggests that the requirement that the aircraft is flyable be dropped.
