Mr. Billy Key: I am an attorney in town, but I'm not the attorney that has been working with these applicants. On their behalf I would like to ask to have this tabled at this particular meeting for two (2) primary reasons: (I) The attorney who has been working with the applicant was scheduled-to be. here yesterday at the regular meeting, because the meeting was postponed until today had a conflict and he couldn't be here to represent the applicant. (2) Also, the applicants have just been informed about the contents of this anonymous, trashy letter that each you have. And they should have the opportunity to respond to this as well. For both of those reasons, I would ask if we could table this request until the next meeting when their attorney can be here. I Mr. Wall: We have in the past on several occasions postponed matters where attorneys could not be present. I think it is appropriate to postpone this until the attorney can be here. Motion carries 3-1 with Mr. Mays voting present. I A request from the Recreation Director to approve the addition of one (1) Groundskeeper I position at the Augusta Golf Course (Enterprise Fund). Mr. Beck: We're asking for an additional groundskeeper as part of the Capital Improvement Program with the Golf Course which was apart of the plan. It's directly connected to the new driving range. We only have two workers there now and this will make the third. Mr. Oliver: We're in agreement and this will be funded by Golf Course revenue. Mr. Kuhlke: So move. Mr. Colclough: Second.

The equipment is eligible for FAA funding and I I we've included it in a grant that we currently have in place so this equipment will be paid 90% percent through FAA and 10% from airport funds.
