9:06:42 AM Grants & Projects Administrator Larry Watson Presentation, there have been changes to this proposal. After discussing this with Finance Director Ed Blackman, they collectively decided not to pursue a loan as part of this application, feeling the tax levies for the airport will support that amount of additional funding for the mower.
