Steve Cooke presented the Airport Layout Master Plan, explaining how it has changed over the past ten years.
He then stressed the projects being planned for 1998. The Economic Development plan was discussed and several ideas were
considered on how to obtain funding for the 1998 projects. The importance of land acquisition was stressed, and the problems
and concerns of those acquisitions, and their ~mding was discussed. A lot of issues need to be looked at including
infrastructure, fire flow, commercial versus industrial development, and expansion of services.
Brian Pendleton presented the status and future requirements for a Stormwater Master Plan and Utilities Master
Plan, including a Wastewater Treatment Plant. He reported this is a flexible, interactive process including wetlands, land use
and air space use. A Stormwater Master Plan is necessary for permitting. Cost of the Stormwater Master Plan could be
$300,000 to $350,000 including photogramatry, permits, etc. The land use planning period and photogramatry could take about
60 days, engineering to calculate areas for ponding, etc. another 60 to 90 days, and the permitting process with the St. Jolms
Water Management District another 60 to 90 days. The next feasible step in the Stormwater Master Plan is to acquire funding
for land. Patti Porter, Conklin, Porter & Holmes-Engineers, Inc., discussed requirements needed to' accomplish the expansion
and improvements. [Commissioner Brady Lessard left the meeting.] Mike McGibeny discussed the need for water lines
adequate for fire suppression and fire fighting.

Audubon Society wanting the entire site plus $25,000 for bald eagle nesting. City Manager Simmons reported there is an
isolated portion of Site 10 which is not owned by the City. Discussion followed as to how to lower the mitigation from a
possible 35 to 1.
