A discussion was held regarding the Grant Funding Petition to the state. A review of the COW Meeting from February 16, 2005 was done and a reminder was given that the Public Hearing for the Grant Resolution is scheduled for the Council Meeting on March 1^st.

Miscellaneous other projects were discussed.

• Runkel presented the information that was collected from Burli Signs. The committee felt that the signs for Highway 11 and the Airport Entrance should be tabled for the time being. All the other signs were to be investigated further. It is felt that someone from Burli Signs needed to actually visit the airport to see just what and where the signs were to be mounted. DeLay indicated that he would Dennis at Burli Sign to get him to visit. The committee felt that should there be any problems getting someone to visit we would contact other sign companies.

Airport Managers Report

• The self-serve fuel system was discussed. Meisner told the committee that the only problem that has been encountered was the static line. The line is periodically getting tangled and then not rewinding into the reel. It was noted that this is a common problem with no answer.

• Meisner reported that once the frost has cleared out of the ground he would have cement pads placed in the ground around the fuel station to reduce the mud problem.

• Meisner reported that once the frost is out of the ground the water would be run from the well to the terminal building.

• Meisner reported that the airport equipment has yet to be relocated into the area the city is leasing. He indicated that it was going to be done after cable (Wisconsin Road Runner) has been run into the building, he is waiting to get a firm date from Time Warner.

• The Farm Land Lease for the land around the airport was presented to the committee and reviewed. A motion was made to approve the lease and recommend it to be approved by the city. Motion made by Januszewski and seconded by DeLay.
