RESOLUTION NO. 78-10
WHEREAS, the City of Huntsville has had an ongoing program of
improvement and expansion of the airport; and
WHEREAS, the cost of these improvements has been borne by the
U. S. Government through the Federal Aviation Administration, State
Government through the Texas Aeronautics Commission, and the City of
Huntsville by all of its citizens; and
WHEREAS, it was necessary to clear an additional seven acres of
land for the extension of the runway from 3,700 feet to 5,000 feet,
and the only bid for this clearing was $1 ,385 per acre for a total cost,
excluding engineering, of $9,695, and this bid was considered excessive

contribution to the City and its citizens, saving the taxpayers $9,695.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and City Council that
