1. Review and approval of September 2004 meeting minutes
The September 2004 Board Meeting minutes were reviewed and approved by a 5-0 vote.
2. Airport Manager's Report
Debbie Van Saun’s report is given in Attachment A.
3. FBO Report
Lloyd Hetrick announced he has developed a process that will aid transient pilots that use the airport during special Lawrence events, e.g., football and basketball game, and regional conferences. This procedure is to issue a NOTAM that defines standard airport operation for these events. This was tried during the Colorado football game and Lloyd received positive feedback from pilots.
Lloyd also shared that early in December he will add to his fleet of rental aircraft a new Cessna 182 with an advanced glass cockpit and state-of-the-art avionics.
4. Airport Minimum Standards Draft
The Board reviewed and discussed the insurance minimum levels specified in the Minimum Standards Document. Ron Renz shared that in his recent experiences with aircraft insurance, the insurance industry policy limits and premium rates have changed dramatically since the 9-11 World Trade Center attack. The Board asked Debbie Van Saun to consult with someone with expertise in aircraft and airport insurance expertise to assure that the minimum limits specified in the final Minimum Standards report are consistent with the airport’s operation.

The next regular Aviation Advisory Board Meeting will be Thursday, Jan. 13, 2005 at 6:30 p.m. in the Delbert and Arlen Richardson Memorial Pilot’s Lounge in the main terminal building.
