| New Business… 1. Joe Roenfeldt, airport engineer from Bolten & Menk who is working on our airport repair/rehab project, came with a lot of very helpful information for informed discussion for understanding in decision making, from funding sources possible from state & or federal helps. Pros & cons of various construction options using Asphalt or Concrete. Compliance with differing FAA State & Federai regulations. Durability in the long term with differing options & probability for securing funding to get the most benefit. With this information & much discussion Joe was going to get actual costs towards an asphalt overlay done half at a time to spread out the burden of cost. He will have that compiled together in about 2 weeks for presentation. The timeline for state grant funding help ends May 24 for this years application. 2.
