And anybody that's on uh Zoom, uh just raise your hand, please, or star seven if you're on the phone. If I can speak, please. Larry Keaster 24 South A Street. Um I represent the uh Southern portion, City of Camus. Um City of Washington. Um, update on what we're doing with uh the airport. Basically, right now it's what's the community want us to do with the airport. We started uh our community outreach last week with the listening session. The listing session was so the community could tell us what they're interested in and mainly what they're not interested in. Uh the goal is to work for about uh 18 to 24 months gathering information at that time. We'll uh be able to start making some further plans and what the court will do with the gold field and uh then uh the goal is to bring it up to FAA standards and also what the what works well with the community. So I give you the little cards, you will see a lot of these in the next few months. We're really trying to get the message out, and uh so that you will hear more as we progress with the progress. So thanks. Any any initial feedback, Larry, on what the community is looking for, or is that gonna be compiled later? It'll be compiled later. We did just like you guys do where we have the little sticky pads, and you you write down a couple of words or a sentence, what you like, what don't want to see, and uh that will be compiled. That will give us a starting point, just like you guys do with your open house. It was supposed to be a listening session where your commission and staff just listen. That's you got three commissioners alike to talk to the problem, so it was more like an open, but I think it was well received, and we got some good information. Um we've gone through a airport layout plan in the past, but we just focused on basically the runway. This go around, we're looking at the entire airport area community and how we fit in with that. Any development that we would make in the long term would be what's on presently owned port property. Uh nothing, nothing greater than that.
