The Chairman called the meeting to order.
Sanford Airport Authority's Proposed FY 95/96 Budget.
Steve Cooke, Director of Aviatidn, briefly highlighted the proposed budget, which
was approved by the Sanford Airport Authority ("Authority") on August 8, 1995. Mr. Cook
stated that the Authority is getting out of the retail fuel business, which has resulted in
a big drop in operations, and an increase in administration. Further, revenues are down
approximately 2.5 million dollars and expenditures are going down. Also, personnel costs are
going up, which is driven by the three additional positions; the new police officer will not
be hired until there is a demand for said position.
City Manager Simmons reported that our personnel request includes the additional
officer, budgeted that for the full year, and that the City will need preferably two months
notice to bring this officer on board.
Demolition of Building 3.
The Airport Authority and the City Commission discussed the possibility of both
entities working together to demolish and remove Building 3, with the Airport removing the
asbestos and performing the survey, and the City digging a pit next to the building, tearing
down the building, putting the debris into the pit and burning, and then transporting the
ashes to the disposal site. Mr. Cooke reported that this joint demolition venture would
substantially reduce the cost from $105,000.00 to approximately $21,000.00.
City Manager Simmons reported that the Fire Chief has determined that Building 3
is too close to the other buildings to burn as a training project, as previously discussed,
however, burning the rubble in a fire pit for volume reduction seems to be an attractive and
feasible method. Further, there has been discussion relative soliciting Seminole County's
assistance in tearing down the building, loading the debris, and transporting same to the
disposal site.
(Sandra Glenn briefly left the meeting, then returned.)

Terminal Briefing.
Mr. Cooke briefly reviewed plans for the Airport's expansion project, that will
include a central concourse to accommodate five aircraft, and which is scheduled to be
completed by February of 1996. Mr. Cooke reported that they anticipate fourteen (14)
flights a week, and the facility will be able to handle 1000 passengers an hour.
Cit~ Manager Simmons reported that there is an opportunity to exchange advertising
space between the Airport and the Mall if desired, and asked if there will be advertising
kiosks within the terminal.
Sewer and Water.
City Manager Simmons reported that utilities are available on the present
industrial area, but not on the east side of the Airport. Further, the City has prepared
a preliminary master plan for water and sewer around the airport ring road, which Seminole
County expects to build somewhere around the year 2000. Further, the City has identified the
need to make water and sewer service available to facilitate development, that it would be
cost effective to build a new wastewater treatment plant to serve the area because it is not
economical to improve the system to transport wastewater back to the plant on the lake, that
said plant would provide approximately one to two million gallons per day, with no on-site
disposal of the reclaimed water. Mr. Simmons proposed that the Airport consider providing
the site, within the eastern confines of the airport, for this plant which would serve the
Airport and surrounding area.
Lease. The Airport Authority withdrew its request to discuss this item.
Board aD, ointments. In response to Commissioner Lyons, A.K. Shoemaker and William Bush, Jr.
indicated that they would both be willing to serve again on the Airport Authority, if re-
appointed.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
