Airport Driving Manual Presentation

outlined basic driving procedures for operating personal vehicles on the airport. The

rules, and to highlight potential conflict/danger areas on the AOA. The AAC provided
recommendations for revision, and Nate Coyle stated that he would make these changes
to the manual prior to distribution. Dan Scott recommended that the airport look to create
a noise abatement manual for the airport in similar fashion, and Nate Coyle stated that he
would make an attempt at developing this manual for review by the AAC in a future
meeting.
Airport Lease Revision Update
Nate Coyle stated that he was awaiting a final legal review of the draft lease template
prior to presenting the document to Council for consideration. Nate Coyle stated that he
would notify the AAC of the presentation date and provide materials that would
accompany the presentation to Council.
