<br />Councilman Teague moved that a resolution be adopted ,thanking the Governor and staff for
<br />their assistance in this matter, seconded by Mrs. Hayward, Motion carried.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Hayward asked that the Council be provided with copies of the letter from FAA.
<br />
<br />Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Dr. Purdy that the airport be kept open, subject to results of
<br />tests conducted by CH 2M. Motion carried.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that a resolution be adopted thanking not only the Governor,
<br />but State Senator Fadeley and Representative Dellenback for assistance with problems at the Airport:
<br />Motion carried.
<br />
<br />The Manager said he had a report from the Airport Manager that the main runway would be closed for
<br />testing Friday and Saturday and all traffic would be required to use the secondary area. The Manager
<br />outlined the expense of continuing to patch ,runways, and recommendation of the Airport Manager that a
<br />load limit of 40,000 lbs. be placed on the airport as a temporary restriction on the main runway, and
<br />a permanent restriction on the secondary runway.

<br />The Manager said he had been at the airport with Mr. Juilfs and Mr. Altman, Vice President ,in charge
<br />of operations at Air West. They concurred that the secondary runway was no longer safe for jet air-
<br />craft now using the' field, and could possibly present a ]:i.azar.d due to deterioration of asphaltic con-
<br />crete. The Manager explained the danger of permanent damage to runways, and that FAA has indicated it
<br />will not share in additional cost of repair resulting from continued use. Staff recommends a restric-
<br />tion on the main runway to 40,000 lbs~,until a report is received from engineering tests, and permanent
<br />restriction to 40,000 lbs. on the secondary runway.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to accept the recommendation of staff to restrict ,the
<br />main runway to 40,000 lbs. until receipt of engineering tests, and indefinite restriction on .secondary
<br />runway to 40,000 lbs.
<br />
<br />Mr. Altman said the a~rport is, from a physical appearance, definitely upsafe for jet o~eration. Det-
<br />erioration is extremely rapid. Air West has made temporary arrangements with Corvallis airport for
<br />jet servic~,and ~ill provide limousine service for passengers from Eugene.

<br />In answer to a question from Mr. McDonald, the City Manager said money from the bond issue' has not
<br />been used for repairs to the field. Bids have been opened for reconstruction, but the contract has not
<br />been let. Mr. Sperber, Regional Manager of FAA, anticipated a contract would be approved Tuesday,
<br />but did not want ,to proceed with work until the engineering report is in.
<br />
<br />Mr. Carlson Stark, Northwest Regional Vice President, United Airlines, agreed with Mr. Altman's state-
<br />ments. He said they wanted to assist, the City and serve the Community, but were not able to use the
<br />Corva llis Airport, ahd Salem was having difficulties ,witp its runway.
<br />
<br />Mr. Altucker, Member of the Airport Commission, felt'work could be done on runways at night when air
<br />flights are not scheduled, and closure would then be unnecessary.
<br />
<br />After further discussion of weight rating of runways and weight of flights qow using them, a voteswas
<br />taken on the motion as stated and the motion carried.

<br />inance and reasons why it should be adopted. Dr. Pott suggested t~at, even though there is ~

<br />ance of this legislation warrants a special meeting so that it can be thoroughl~ discussed.
