There have been a couple of items to be corrected for this project: rezoning of the Airport, increase of land lease rate and collection of impact fees. Manager Hulland plans to send out letters, 5 letters at a time and added there are 26 individuals remaining on the list.

NEW BUSINESS G.1 Report from Arizona Airports Association July 27th Board of Directors Meeting Manager Hulland attended the Arizona Airport Association Board of Directors meeting.
