Decision to allow Mr. Dover to present information to those Richard Dover of New Technologies presented information to the Commission regarding his proposal to install a voice message center at the airport. The information center could allow persons to access information to a variety of services available in the area. Mr. Dover stated he presently operates a service for non-profit agencies in the area which currently lists 40 services. This service is operated in conjunction with Healthy Communities. Mr. Dover stated he wanted to clarify that he would not be in competition with the new service that will be operated at the airport. Instead of booking reservations, his service would only supply information as to services available in the area. Interested parties could be informed on the message how to book a reservation or obtain a service. Mr. Dover stated there were three options to installing the service as was listed on his letter which was included in the packet. Dover stated after further investigation that option one was not possible. The reason being that the phone currently in use at the airport does not have a dial function. He also felt option three was probably not the best choice as people would tie up the pay phones. Dover felt option three would be the best choice. Holloway asked Mr. Dover what costs were involved. Mr. Dover stated that current rates for a mail box were $9.00 a month for non-profit organizations and $9.50 a month for profit-making organizations. In addition, there is a $16.00 set up fee. The business is allowed a 60 second message which is equal to 100 words or approximately 1/3 page of information. Mr. Holloway stated he felt this was long enough to advertise a service and short enough to keep the caller's attention. Mr. Dover stated that services such as his are currently provided through the "Daily News" and the "Clarion." Holloway asked what cost would be involved for the city. Mr. Dover stated it was negotiable but he would install the equipment at cost. He stated he felt the equipment Airport Commission Work Session Minutes October 12, 1995 Page 1 would cost approximately $200. fee of approximately $35.00. In addition, there would be the monthly phone line Mr. Dover stated one of his goals would be to work with the Chamber of Commerce and perhaps provide free service for public events. This would allow tourists coming through the airport to find out about special events that may be planned in the area. Acting Airport Manager Keith Holland advised those present that they had been given a letter pertaining to the drums at the UPS building. Holland noted that to date an answer has not been received and that the letter was mailed September 29. Holloway asked if there was any idea what was stored in the drums. Holland stated it appears there is possibly waste oil in some of them, others are sealed and full. However, it doesn't appear that the drums contain original contents by the looks of the drums. Commission asked as to status of Randy Ernst's return. Holland advised he would be returning on October 19. Ms. Koerber asked if any information had been received regarding the towing question. Holland stated he is unsure how to track the towing other than coming in and 3 a.m. to track the tow company.

In addition, Holland stated he has discussed the situation with the company and they assure him they are towing.
