A new AWOS contract was signed with York Technical Services of Albuquerque.  He comes over quarterly to service our equipment and has been very responsive to any needs we have had from time to time.  The backup power supply/surge protector unit caused the CPU to shut down which baffled us for a while before figuring out that to be the cause.  It was replaced and everything is working well again.

PRAA replaced campground grinder pumps after failure of both pumps.  There seemed to be a large amount of oil in the equipment so the town was alerted to be careful what was put into the system since this services the Town Yard bathroom.  The town contributed to part of this expense.

Generator contract with Empire is going well.  This seems to be solid equipment we can count on.  They serviced it last month and found no problems.

Hangar One agreement was signed by all parties and satisfied both sides for now.  PRAA is working diligently to bring all tenants into uniform compliance with their leases.

Beth was hired 9-8-10.  She has been with PRAA one year and will be enjoying her one week of vacation in the near future.  An Employee Handbook was created to address employer-employee relations.  Beth attends Business Buzz and Mixers and gives multiple airport presentations.  Meet & greet activities on ramp are done regularly as solid public relations and to identify any potential economic opportunities.

Our Operations Manual created last fall and is a fluid document in that changes are made to it as needed.

Bull Dog (an ATV) acquisition provides enhanced ability to service airport needs.

Landscaping improvements & regular maintenance with our part time helper, Kenny Lucas has proved invaluable.  The volunteer network seems to have evaporated so being able to effectively use his labor as needed as replaced the absent volunteers.

New treasurer, new directors/officers were voted into office this summer.

Public restroom and office were cleaned and painted.  The sink in the bathroom was replaced thanks to a generous donation by Steve and Becky Vaught.

Signs around the airport and campground are in place now giving clear definition of locations.

Replaced several lights on hangars and at campground so all are functioning again.

Box hangar roof repaired after a couple of years of leaking with heavy rains.

Replaced windsock on West end of airport and at Delta gate.

Replaced flags above Delta ramp

Forest Service had mild, almost non-season, leaving the end of August, 2011

Honor current/past airport contributors with honorary signs on hangars of Jim Jones and Rich Henry.  An upcoming sign will be placed in Observation area for Dave Davidson.

FOD BOSS acquired and is used regularly

Tree stumps removed around field by Doug & Myra Vik.

Volunteer efforts have lagged substantially this year.
