Old Business:
Federal Aviation Administration approval of federal funds in the amount
of $59, 500 for the Washington County Airport.
Mr. Yuhas read letter under date of April 24, 1968, from George M.
Gary, Director, FAA Eastern Region, Jamaica, New York, stating the Administrator of
the FAA allocated $59, 500 under the terms of the Federal Airport Act for a project at
Washington County Airport, Washington, Pennsylvania, to perform the following airport
development:
Overlay and mark Runway 9-27 (3700' x 75') parallet taxiway
(2800" x 40") and terminal apron (10, 000 s. y. )
Mr. Cromwell, Director of the Washington County Planning Commission, entered the
meeting.
(telegram announcing the approval of funds from Congressmen Morgan was presented at
regular session held April 25, 1968 - Minute No. 17)
Letter also stated regret that the pressing need for financial assistance required that the
allocation be limited to the development described above; said development is considered
desirable and necessary to improve Washington County Airport so that it will become a
more effective part of the national system of public airports. The funds are to be used only
for the development specified above and may not be used for any other development without
the approval of the FAA.
In the discussion that followed, note was made by Mr. Yuhas, that
the approved allocation was all that was received out of the $900, 000 that was requested,
but it is sufficient to do the resurfacing; this is money allocated in 1968 for 1969; this is
the 1968 request and next year's program; the resurfacing is a part of Phase II of the
Airport improvement plans. Mr. Cromwell reported that the Planning Commission
approved Phase I of the Airport improvement plans; further study is necessary on Phase II.
Chief Clerk requested Mr. Yuhas to submit a report on the total money that would be in-
volved with regard to federal, state and county participation, to avoid an oversight insofar
as budget preparation is concerned. Mr. Mazza was of the opinion that the Chief Clerk
and Director of the Planning Commission should have a copy of any communication pertain-
ing to the Airport.
Unfinished Business:
Mr. Capano informed the Board he had prepared the letter to be forwarded
to Mr. William Stacko, R. D. 2, Avella, Pennsylvania 15312, concerning lease violation;
letter will be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, delivered to addressee
only.
