3. Airport Manager's Report:
• EA Meeting with City Council-- attended by FAA representatives
Stan Allison and Paul Holmquist. All options with respective costs
were reviewed. Infatuation regarding an update of traffic forecasts
and the cost of placing the taxiway at 300' vs. 240' are to be prepared
by the consultant with a follow-up public meeting to be held soonest.
The Council opted to defer the decision to a later date.
• An amendment to the instrument approach which lowers the visibility
to one mile was approved by FAA. Toothman-Orton is measuring
tree -heights today for data collection on Runway 16 straight -in
approach.
• AIP 15 & 17 Snow Removal Equipment (SRE)-- snow plow, broom,
front-end scoop, and blower-- has been received. Final
reimbursement will be made shortly.
• AIP 16 (ARRA/Stimulus Funds)-- Due to a delay in acquiring all
three types of crushed rock by Valley Paving, construction has been
delayed until the expected date of August 17th, which will create an
expected one -month delay in completing the taxiway -repair project
(end of September).
