MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL CALLED MEETING OF THE AIRPORT BOARD
OF DIRECTORS ON MARCH 10, 2022
(1) Call to Order and Roll Call
At 3:46 pm on March 10, 2022, a special meeting of the Airport Board of Directors was called to order by
Jay Matheny, Chair of the Board. This meeting was held in person at Midwest Aviation after being properly
advertised and noticed. The meeting was initially noticed to proceed virtually via the Zoom platform but
was changed to accommodate a request by the Executive Director. A quorum of Directors was present
throughout the meeting, either in-person or via the Zoom platform. The method of attendance is noted
below.
Directors in Attendance: Jay Matheny, Board Chair (in-person); Emily Roark (in-person), Vice-Chair; John
Durbin, Treasurer (in-person); George Cumbee (in-person); Jason Crockett (in-person); Dann Patterson
(via Zoom).
Directors Absent: Emmerson Goodwin, Jeff James; Marshall Davis; Ashley Johnson.
Others in Attendance: Dennis Rouleau, Executive Director (in-person); Carol Creason, Administrative
Services/Terminal Manager (in-person); Haylie Hobbs, Marketing Manager (in-person); David Riley, Board
Attorney (via Zoom); Jamin Heldt, CHA Companies (via Zoom); Mike Reiter, CMT (via Zoom); Destin
Nygard, Alliiance Architects (via Zoom); Paducah Mayor George Bray (in-person); and various members of
the local media.
(2) Pledge of Allegiance
(3) New Business
(a) Purchase two pickup trucks from Glenn’s Freedom Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Lexington, KY, through
the State of Kentucky joint purchasing program for an amount not to exceed $75,372.00.
These vehicles are intended to replace the vehicles currently used by the fire department. Before the
meeting, the Executive Director provided the Board with a memorandum outlining the increased price
of these vehicles over the initially budgeted amount.
Before the meeting, Director Crockett solicited a “spec” for similar vehicles from a local dealership
(Linwood). According to Director Crockett’s information, the vehicles would be approximately $1,500
less per vehicle than the vehicle proposed amount from Glenn’s Freedom Dodge Chrysler. A discussion
ensued about the Board’s preference for “buying local.” It was explained that Glenn’s Freedom was
on the state-approved purchaser’s list, such that the item did not have to go to bid. If the Board
wanted to buy locally, it would have to bid.
Director Roark moved, seconded by Director Durbin, to approve this item and purchase the vehicles
from Glenn’s Freedom. A roll call vote was held. Those in favor were Directors Durbin, Matheny, and
Roark. Those opposed were Directors Cumbee, Crockett, and Patterson. Because this resulted in a
tied vote, the motion failed for lack of a majority.

(b) Approval of Package 3, Terminal Building – Change Order 03 for a not to exceed the amount of
$2,573.16.
Nine door frames for the New Terminal Project have been delayed. The project proceeded without
the doors, which now requires a different style/type of door in order to be able to tie it into the
masonry. New doors can be purchased for the amount of this change order. A supply chain issue is a
reason for the matters covered by this item.
Motion by Director Crockett, second by Director Cumbee, to approve this item. A roll call vote was
held, and all Directors present voted in favor.
(c) Approval of Package 3, Terminal Building – Change Order 05 for a not to exceed the amount of
$20,310.28.
The electrical contractor on the project (Mott) discovered an item that was necessary to the New
Terminal project but was inadvertently missing from the original drawings and designs. This item
(covered by the proposed change order) was always essential to the project, and this cost was always
going to be incurred. It isn’t an “add-on” to the project. This material was not included in the original
bidding documents but should have been and now needs to be added and approved.
Motion by Director Cumbee, seconded by Director Roark, to approve this item. A roll call vote was
held, and all Directors present voted in favor.
(4) Executive Session
(5) Adjournment
Motion by Director Durbin, seconded by Director Crockett, by unanimous voice acclamation the motion
passed without opposition, and the meeting was adjourned at 4:53 pm.
