Mr. Mulder stated that the commission is in the process of developing a job description for the Airport Director, and it is important to know who the director reports to and who develops the budget. Mr. Mulder stated that the director needs to know who he/she is responsible to. Theresa Hoffinan stated that there are several existing Attorney General opinions on the Airport Commission regarding the city's involvement in the airport's budget. Ms. Hoffman stated that the commission is looking at other questions as to whom governs who. City Attorney Jim Walsh stated that since there was some confusion concerning the distribution of city powers regarding governance of the airport, the city asked its bonding counsel for an opinion.

Mr. Walsh stated nothing is controversial that will hurt the day-to-day operations of the airport. Mr. Mulder stated that the airport's bills are brought to the commission after the council's approval and asked how can the commission can control the budget when they don't approve the bills. Mayor Rooff stated that once the council has approved the airport's budget, the commission can allocate the funds. Mayor Rooff suggested that the commission appoint a Finance Committee. Mayor Rooff stated that the city wants to put an end to Attorney General's opinions and asked the commission to set down with the council and put the information together. Mayor Rooff stated that the council wants results and for everyone to get on with it. Mayor Rooff stated that the commission spent $70,000 and the city doesn't see any results. Mr. Mulder stated that the commission has taken time to put together the airport's expenditures and the commission will look at that at tomorrow's meeting. Mr. Mulder stated that the commission's intent is to do what the council put them on the commission to do. Mr. Mulder stated that the commission will address those issue at tomorrow's meeting and will resolve them. Mayor Rooff stated that the city reviews things and helps the airport. Mayor Rooff suggested that Fred Debe or someone from the commission talk to the city to get departments working for the commission. Mr. Debe stated that there are things the city can do for the airport that the commission can't get done. Councilperson Jordan asked if the city will continue to look at the airport's finances. Mayor Rooff stated that the city will continue to look at those items, but the commission will approve them first.
