City Manager Bardell stated that the current call letters are printed on every United
States aerial chart and that to change this would cost a great deal in printing
materials and would be a very lengthy process.
Mr. Hanson stated that he had talked to Clay Wilkens, A.T.C. Chairman, and was informed
that this would not be a problem. After talking to Mr. Wilkens, the Chamber of
Commerce decided that this would probably benefit the area as a whole.
City Manager Bardell pointed out that even if the call letters were changed to B.C.S.,
it still could be confusing since the airport is located in College Station.
Councilman Dozier stated that if a new airport is built, it would be better to designate
its letters as B.C.S. and not change the present call letters of the Easterwood Airport.
Mr. Hanson asked that this item be placed on the agenda on the next Regular City Council
Meeting.
