Re: Monthly Department Report – January 2019
1. Triangle Development:
Development of Request for Quotes is underway. Informal poll of non-waitlist persons seeking hangar
indicates most small hangar leaseholds would be leased. Proponent for large hangar leasehold has
dropped out.
2. Parallel Taxiway Relocation:
T-O Engineers is working to assess the various taxiway separation costs which will drive the scope of
an environmental study update. Statement of work is nearly complete for pre-design actions. An
independent fee estimate must be developed prior to approving a design contract.
3. Commercial Activities:
Four commercial activities have indicated an interest in operating out of McCall. Gem Air wishes to
return, another air taxi wishes to operate, a skydiving instructor wishes to set up operations, and an
existing tenant wishes to sell fuel. First meeting with the Airport Advisory Committee is set for
February 7, 2019.
4. US Forest Service:
The government shut-down put the USFS behind in preparation for the upcoming year. They are
working to catch up. It is expected the contract to be finalized by end of February.
5. MDSD 3rd Grade Class:
Tour went well. Four learning stations were set up airfield, weather, aircraft gliding, and
helicopter/drone. Received positive feedback on all stations and a thank you book from students.
