YANCEY ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO OPPOSITION TO THE CLOSING 'OF THE RAILWAY EXPRESS AGENCY AT RED HILL~ VIRGINIA. AT THE REQUEST OF THIS BOARD~ THE FOLLOWING REPORT WAS SUBMITTED BY THE JOINT AIRPORT COMMISSION IN CONNECTION WITH CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS WHICH HAD BEEN REQUESTED AT THE AIRPORTt "SINCE THE COMMISSION APPEARED BEFORE YOUR BOARD SEVERAL MONTHS AGO~ WE HAVE MET ON THREE OCCASIONS TO DISCUSS PROBLEMS WHICH HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO US CONCERNING THE AIRPORT AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COUNTY AND THE CITY FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AT THE AIRPORT~ WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS ~ AT HAVE BEEN MADE AT THE AIRPORT. THE NEW PARKING AREA HAS TAKEN CARE OF THE RATHER ACUTE PARKING SHORTAGE AT THE AIRPORT. THE NEW HIGH INTENSITY LIGHTING SYSTEM ON THE SOUTH END OF THE RUNWAY IS GREATLY FACILITATING LANDINGS AT NIGHT AND UNDER UN-- FAVORABLE WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE NEW LIGHTING SYSTEM GREATLY INCREASES THE SAFETY FACTOR 1N MARGINAL WEATHER. ON OUR LAST VISIT TO THE AIRPORT THE GRADING ON NORTHEAST END OF THE AIRPORT WAS ALMOST FINISHED. IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO KEEP AN AIRPLANE IN SIGHT FROM THE TIME IT TAXIS AWAY FROM THE RAMP UNTIL IT HAS TAKEN OFF WHEN THE NORTH PORTION OF THE RUNWAY IS BEING USED. ~OING AWAY WITH THE BLIND SPOT ON THE NORTH END OF THE RUNWAY WILL ALSO GREATLY INCREASE THE SAFETY OF THO~ WHO USE THE AIRPORT. ON OUR LAST TRIP TO THE AIRPORT LAST WEEK THE COMMISSION INSPECTED THE NEW INSTRUMENT LANDING ~YSTEM SITE AT THE NORTH END OF THE AIRPORT. WE LEARNED FROM THE MEN WORKING ON THE SYSTEM THAT IT WILL PROBABLY BE IN OPERATION WITHIN ONE MONTH. I DO NOT BELIEVE ~AT THE VALUE OF THIS FACILITY TO THE USERS OF THE ArlRPORT CAN BE OVEREMPHASIZED. ALTHOUGH THE COMMISSION HAS TAKEN UNDER CONSIDERATION SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS WITH RESPECT TO IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE AT THE AIRPORT WE ONLY HAVE ONE RECOMMENDATION TO PRESENT TO YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. MR. MARTIN ~ACY HAS ADVISED US ~AT SEVERAL PLANE OWNERS WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE USE THE AIRPORT FACILITIES ARE NOT DOING SO BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF HANGAR SPACE. 1N ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF THIS NEED WE RECOMMEND THAT THE COUNTY AND THE CITY PROVIDE THE FUNDS TO PREPARE THE GROUND AND TO BUILD TEN T HANGARS IN THE AREA TO THE SOUTH OF THE PRESENT HANGAR. MR. MACY HAS INVESTIGATED THE COST OF THE HANGARS THEMSELVES AND ~OUND THAT THEY RANGE.FROM ~1~00.00 ON UP. WE BELIEVE THAT A VERY GOOD HANGAR WITH SLIDING ]DOORS CAN BE PURCHASED AND ERECTED ON A PR/PARED SITE FOR WE ESTIMATE THAT IT WILL COST ~000.O0 FOR THE PREPARATION OF TH/ SITE AND THE TEN HANGAR UNITS. THESE HANGARS WE HAVE FOUND BY MAKING AN INVESTIGATION OF SlX AIRPORTS IN VIR- GINIA~ LEASE FOR AN AVERAGE OF ~30oOO PER MONTH PER UNIT, SOME NEW UNITS AT AIRPORTS IN THIS STATE WERE LEASED FOR AS MUCH AS ~35oOO PER UNIT PER MONTH, THE BOARD FURTHER RECOMMENDS THAT THE COUNTY AND CITY LEASE THE T HANGARS TO HOLLADAY AVIATION FOR AN AMOUNT AND OVER A PERIOD WHICH WILL ENABLE HOLLADAY TO PAY THE 0OUNTY AND CITY ENOUGH FROM RENTALS TO AMORTIZE THE COST OF THE PREPARATION OF THE GROUND AND THE HANGARS OVER A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME, MR. MACY EMPHASIZED THAT HE IS NOT ANXIOUS TO MAKE A PROFIT FROM THE LEASE OF THE HANGARS BECAUSE HE FEELS THAT HANGAR SPACE IS A FACILITY WHICH SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AT A REASONABLE COST TO THE USERS OF THE AIRPORT. HOWEVER~ IF HANGAR SPACE IS MADE AVAILABLE ~ AM SURE THAT MR, MACY AND HOLLADAY AVIATION WILL BENEFIT FROM THE INCREASED USE OF THE AIRPORT. THE AIRPORT COMMISSION DOES THEREFORE~ RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT FUNDS NECESSARY FOR ITS PORTION OF THE ERECTION OF TEN m HANGARS AT ~ E CHARLOTTES- VILE --ALBEMARLE AIRPORT BE PROVIDED BY THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, IF YOU OR ANY MEMBER OF YOUR BOARD HAS ANY qUESTIONS CONCERNING THE RECOM- MENDATION OF THE COMMISSION~ I SHALL BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS IT WITH THEM. OUR RECOMMENDATION HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED WITH MR, BOWEN AND HE IS 'CONFIDENT THAT THE CITY WILL PROVIDE ITS SHARE OF THE FUNDS TO BUILD THE m HANGARS IF THE COUNTY ACCEPTS OUR R£COMMENDATION,t~ THE FOREGOING REPORT WAS ~ISCUSSED AND THE CHAIRMAN REQUESTED THE MATTER BE TURNED OVER TO THIS BOARD'S AIRPORT COMMITTEE (MESSRS, THRAVES~ PALMER AND BROWN) FOR STUDY AND RECOM-- MENDATION AT THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING, THE FOLLOWING REPORT WAS RECEIVED FROM THE P. A. S. STUDY COMMITTEE= "THE COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING REPORT~ 1. THE VAULT FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS IN THE ~EPARTMENT OF FINANCE HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO COST APPROXIMATELY ~2~000,O0 COMPLETED, THIS WOULD GIVE A FIRE-PROOF AREA OF ~ SQUARE FEET WHICH APPEARS TO BE ADE~UATEo IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE VAULT BE PROVIDED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 2. THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE'S OFFICE SHOULD BE MOVED TO THE MAIN FLOOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, THE OLD CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.SHOULD PROVIDE OFFICES FOR THE COUNTY [XECUTIVE~ ASSISTANT COUNTY EXECUTIVE~ ACCOUNTING SECTIONS AND MACHINE OPERATION ROOM. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE PARTITIONS FOR THESE SERIES OF OFFICES BE MOVEABLE METAL PARTITIONS. THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT PLANS BE MADE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF AN ELEVATOR IN THE BUILDING AS SOON AS FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE. AN ESTIMATE HAS BEEN RECEIVED INDICATING THAT THE APPROXIMATE COST OF AN ADEQUATE ELEVATOR WOULD BE AROUND ~O~OOO,O0 INSTALLED. REALIZING THAT THE MONEY MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE NOW FOR THE PROd~CT~ THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS BE PREPARED IN ORDER THAT THE PROdECT MAY BE COMPLETED WHEN POSSIBLE, A. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE WHICH NOW OCCUPIES THREE OFFICES IN THE BUILDING SHOULD BE MOVED TO THE OFFICES NOW OCCUPIED BY THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE. THE TWO LOWER OFFICES THUS VACATED SHOULD BECOME STORAGE AND SUPPLY ROOMS. THE OFFICE LOCATED ON THE THIRD FLOOR NOW OCCUPIED BY THE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE SHOULD BE USED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT, 5, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE COUNTY AGENT'S OFFICE NOW LOCATED IN THE POST OFFICE BUIL~ING SHOULD REMAIN THERE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE ELEVATOR IS INSTALLED, THE FOURTH FLOOR~ NOW BEING RENTED TO OTHER AGENCIES~ SHOULD THEN BE UTILIZED FOR COUNTY OPERATIONS, ~, ~UE TO THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL OFFICE SPACE IN THE ~EPARTMENT OF EDCUATION~ THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE NECESSARY PARTITIONS BE INCLUDED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL OFFICE SPACE, ?, ~T tS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT THE CENTRAL SYSTEM OF TELEPHONE EXCHANGE BE INSTALLED IN CONdUNCTION WITH THE RELOCATION OF'OFFICES TO INCLUDE AS MANY COUNTY OFFICES AS POSSIBLE, SUCH CENTRAL SWITCHBOARD SHOULD BE LOCATED AS OUTLINED IN THE P,A.S. STUDY. DISTRICT CH~VILLE. 8. THE COMMITTEE FEELS THAT THE EFFICIENCY OF THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CAN BE GREATLY IMPROVED BY THE IMPEEMENTATION OF THE ABOVE RECOMMENDATIONS. AD- DITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE MADE AT A LATER ~ATE." ON MOTION OF MR~ YANCEY, SECONDED BY MR. THRAVES, AND UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED, THE FOREGOING REPORT WAS ~GCE~TEDo MR. 0TIS BROWN ADVISED THAT BIDS WERE OPENED ON MARCH 11 ON THE FILTER PLANT AND THE LOW BID OF $195,760.00 SUBMITTED BY Fo Lo SHOWALTER COMPANY OF LYNCHBURG WAS ACCEPTED.
