Chairman Brown called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M.

Airport Manager to the City of Georgetown, the aviation community of the Georgetown Airport, and
to her first meeting of the Airport Advisory Board. Welcome. (The Board members welcomed Sarah
Hinton)

2. Consideration and possible action to approve the Minutes of Ma y 16, 2011, meeting.
George Brown: The first item on tonight’s agenda is the consideration and possible action to approve
the Minutes of May 16, 2011. Are there any comments or amendments to those minutes?
Keith Peshak: (Citizen) There are. I spoke at the meeting and I noticed that after reading those
minutes, that they are incorrect.
George Brown: Mr. Peshak, may I interrupt you just a minute and what is the number of that please?
Keith Peshak: (Citizen) 12.32.440C
George Brown: (Repeated) 12.32.440C. I am stating that for the record for the tape recorder so when
the minutes are recorded.
Keith Peshak: (Citizen) I talked about that last time.
George Brown: I can loan you a copy of my minutes. Obviously we have some kind of disconnect
here. I believe the Board Liaison is the person who types the minutes based on the microphone here. I
would like to ask that we recall the tape to see what was presented at that time and what was
intelligible and then reconstruct as accurately as possible. I will request the Board Liaison via this
tape to recall the tape from the last meeting to see if comments Mr. Peshak has raised here are
intelligible and discernable. Mr. Peshak, I would like to ask you if you would not mind presenting an
agenda item to the Board Liaison concerning section 12.32.440C for inclusion on the next meeting.
Thank you.
George Brown: Do we have a motion to disapprove the minutes of the last meeting pending any
verification or correction that might be necessary?
Patrick McCaslin: So moved.
L.E. Williams: I second the motion.
Motion approved 5-0.
George Brown: The minutes of the meeting of May 16, 2011 are not approved pending resolution or
conflicts of misunderstanding from the tape.

Peshak’s request regarding the topic he wishe s to present tonight. The Chair recognizes you Mr.
Peshak to make your presentation; you have three minutes.
Keith Peshak: George, I will make this quick. The Board needs to consider monitoring the safety
to keep the NDB
George Brown: Thank you for your time Mr. Peshak. We’ll take this under consideration. This is
unfortunately a matter that is beyond the Board’s capabilities, but we do appreciate your
presenting this to us tonight.

and this is my item.
George Brown: Please feel free (to speak).
Bridget Chapman: (Assistant City Attorney) There really are no changes to the Bylaws. The reason
that we did this project was because there were some problems with other Bylaws. The City Manager
had asked we changed the formats to which have not been done in a while. I wanted to point out that
the purpose of the Airport Advisory Board, policies, officers and really for your records of reference
to the policies of the Airport Advisory Board Bylaws as well as procedures for your meetings. You all
