to be closed for a half of a day. There are a couple of manholes located in the
safety area that Dahl isn't as concerned about but he will issue a NOTAM. There
will also be airport staff with the BMU staff during the time they are working in the
safety area. There has been some interest in building hangars, locations haven't
been determined yet. The distance remaining marker is still on order. The PAPI's
and REIL's have recently been calibrated. There will be a CIP meeting with
