7-a. Commission Chair -- Chair Knackstedt noted the following:
· An advertisement in the Civil Air Patrol magazine, i.e. Alaska Wing Tips.

The owners told him the lack of the airplane tax enabled them to operate on the
airport, however they almost walked awaked away from the lease because of
bureaucracy. Commissioner Zirul stated he felt this was a prime example of why the
leasing process was needing to be streamlined.
7-b. Airport Manager -- Airport Manager Cronkhite noted the following:
· Referred to Item 7b of the FAA concerns related to runway incursions
(information was included in the packet).
