August 2006 Monthly Income and Expense Reports

$3.20 per gallon, effective September 15, 2006.
Trey Taparauskas: How do you set your fuel price? Is it a fixed price over cost?
Travis McLain: Yes Sir. A couple of years ago, some members of the Airport Advisory Board worked
out a formula that the board recommended that is $.55 over our cost. We get a price change every
Monday.
Report on Noise Study and Master Plan Update
We are still waiting for the results of the LPG (Lateral Precision Guidance) survey and response from
the FAA.
Report on Council Actions
Travis McLain: At the request from of Councilman Sansing, Microfusion was granted an extension to
the Mandatory Construction Deadline to thirty days, to October 31, 2006. The only thing Microfusion
has left to do with the aircraft storage hangar is the door. They may still make their deadline.
Daryl Dressler: They did not get their electrical signed off and thus could not get their door put on.

Report on Airport Construction Projects

on them twice, but completion is expected by November 15, 2006.

within the next 30 days.
General Information Items
None.
4. Citizens Wishing to Address the Board
None.
5. Consideration and possible action to recommend upgrades to the Airport Closed Circuit TV
Cameras.
Daryl Dressler: We have a representative here from Super Circuits of Liberty Hill, TX.
Van Chandler: At the last Board meeting we were talking about security cameras, we have a time lapse
system that works great during the daytime, but we have no way of knowing who comes in and out of
here at night, due to the headlights hitting it.
Steven Klindworth/Super Circuits: A new camera has been developed called the eclipse for night time
application ($500.00). There is a day-night camera that sensors to the time of day or night ($300.00).
Daryl Dressler: Could we do a trial process?
Steven Klindworth/Super Circuits: Yes. Do a test and we have a 30 day return process. We want you to
be happy and go through a bidding process.
Trey Taparauskas: Travis is it safe to say that our infrastructure is satisfactory and that all we are looking
at is camera upgrades.
Travis McLain: Yes. The only thing I am not sure on is whether the lenses are compatible.
Steven Klindworth/Super Circuits: During your trial period you could go to a faster lens and get a lens
with better glass in it.
Tim Sullivan: I’d like to recommend, if the Board can make a committee of two to meet with the Sup er
Circuits Representative and come back to the next board meeting with a recommendation.
Steven Klindworth/Super Circuits: Once you’ve done your review, you probably want to do all five
cameras. Homeland Security has really been focusing on small airports and there might be some
grants.
Travis McLain: To date, there is not anything for GA Airports or Homeland Security. But we can still try
with TxDOT.
Katherine Woods: Motion that we form a subcommittee of Daryl Dressler and Van Chandler to meet with
the Super Circuits Representative.
Trey Taparauskas: I second the motion.
Motion approved 5-0.
Tim Sullivan: Daryl, I suggest you and Van work with Travis McLain on this project.
