Ms. Allin reported that Airborne Express has entered an agreement with MDC,Inc. to construct a new,
19,000 square-foot facility at the Airport. The facility,presently housed on Bear Lane,will be built to
accommodate 40 Airborne trucks. Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2000 with building
completion anticipated for June 2000.
The Airport has acquired it's own web-site domain on the Internet,but will continue to be accessible
through the City's web page. The site is user-friendly and will provide more rapid access to Airport
information.
Ms. Allin reported that airport enplanements are slightly lower for August. Hurricane Bret and an
early back-to-school schedule were contributing factors. Travel is expected to increase during the
approaching holiday season and hopefully improve the numbers.
BUSINESS BOARD

workshop would establish a detailed plan of action to aid in identifying Board goals and defining issues

outcome of the planning sessions). Bonnie Allin stated that the Airport's operating budget would allow
for compensation of consulting services. A tentative date was set for January S, 2000, for a workshop.
Board Members asked to be called by Airport staff the day before a scheduled monthly meeting to
improve attendance.
