Vehicles/Richard Martin. Richard reported that the sweeper needs to be moved to MLA from JeffCo. The trailers Mark Shook and Dave Elliott have offered are not rated for the weight. Dave Elliott will ask Dave Ritz or George Cold if we can borrow an equipment trailer. Richard reported that JeffCo also has 2 International Tractors with mowers that we could get for about $1200.00 each. Richard stated that he can get $2,500.00 to $3,000.00 for our old Ford Tractor.

Verlin stated that the Thomas hangar project under construction has never been approved by the ACC. President Dhooghe will write a letter to Steve Johnson on these matters.
OLD BUSINESS
The Second reading of the proposed wording changes to Rule 02-03 were discussed. The Motion failed on a vote of 0-7. The board is forming sub committees to review and recommend changes to the by-laws, and all agreed this change is not needed at this time.
NEW BUSINESS
Paul Bryant from Colorado Engineering addressed the board on the current status of Airport drainage with El Paso County Planning / DOT. A major unanswered question is how MLA’s purchase of the former Zephyr (Shuttleworth) development will affect the requirements to those property owners in the current MLA filings
that want to build on their property? Paul will request that a representative from County transportation come to our October meeting to discuss the issue.
By a vote of 7-0, the board approved forming 2 sub-committees. Members were appointed based on the members stated willingness to serve. The committees are:
Taxiway Maintenance Committee
