3. Lost Bond Certificate Replacements 
4. Wayne County Airport Authority Board Meeting Minutes 

WHEREAS, if a Consent Agenda format is adopted, complete documentation for all items on the Consent Agenda will be provided in advance to all Board Members, which will provide all Board Members the opportunity to consider whether the item requires public discussion and should be moved from the Consent Agenda. 

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Wayne County Airport Authority Board hereby adopts the use of a Consent Agenda for its future meetings, which is intended to minimize the time required for the handling of routine, non-controversial matters and permit additional time to be spent on complex and significant matters.
