Re: Monthly Department Report – February 2019
Snowfall:
According to the National Center for Environmental Information, a branch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, McCall received 71 inches of snowfall in February. There
was one half day closure of the runway due to snow over ice conditions, but no known operations were impacted. Currently, I’m working to assess the overall impact to budget. A reallocation
of funds from other line items will need to be done to cover expenses for both overtime pay and fuel. Should a snow event over 3” occur prior to significant melt, we will incur above
normal costs for removal as we have filled our normal snow storage areas and will have to move the snow to another location.
Parallel Taxiway Relocation:
T-O Engineers continues work to assess the various taxiway separation costs which will drive the scope of an environmental study update. Statement of work has been re-submitted to Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) following comment for pre-design actions. An independent fee estimate must be developed prior to approving a design contract.
Land Acquisition Reimbursement:
The final closeout for both Airport Improvement Program Grants was submitted to the FAA and awaiting concurrence. Upon concurrence, the closeout will be presented to Council for approval
to formally submit and signatures.
Airport Zoning:
Draft copies of code amendments impacting the airport zone were sent to the FAA and Idaho Transportation Department Aeronautics for comment prior to the March 5 Planning & Zoning work
session.
