Mr. Bell noted there could be a one-time cost to move the plane after it’s flown in to Bowers Field and brought to another location. Mr. Bell also asked for the County’s assistance once it’s brought to Kittitas County for a ceremony where they would anticipate at least 1,000 people in attendance with various dignitaries. If the County is interested in partnering with the AT&T Veterans of Washington State in their application to take custody of a “Seahawk” EA-6B Prowler a letter signed by the Chairman of the Board would be needed and Mr. Bell provided a draft letter addressed to the Department of the Navy, National Naval Aviation Museum. According to NNAM a Surety Bond needs to be provided in case it was determined that the aircraft was no longer wanted or maintenance had not been kept up on it. The transportation costs would be based upon returning it to the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. Mr. Bell said he has requested a waiver to a Surety Bond, but Mr. Sessions would cover the cost of it if a waiver was not granted.
