Hultberg asked about funding for the project and Cole noted Mr. Getty is adamant the project is done without assistance from the City. Hultberg asked if the City would cover the balance if the total amount is not achieved by spring and Councilwoman Porter reported the City's budget is tight at this time unless Frates is able to shuffle funds from the Parks budget.

Cole will have Frates contact the airport manager regarding this. It was also reported the wrought iron fence is in the process of being installed and should be completed by mid -October.

The Beautification Committee took no action at that time.

Council gave approval to proceed with the project for one year.
