Home My Public Portal About2-Airport Department Report -Apr 2019Monthly Department Report – Airport Memo To: City Council From: Jay Scherer, Airport Manager CC: Anette Spickard, City Manager Date 5/1/2019 Re: Monthly Department Report – April 2019 1. Winter Recovery: This morning, the last of the snow was removed from the main apron parking tie downs. There are large piles still on the majority of leaseholds, but none that should inhibit aircraft operations. Flooding was an issue again for the occupants of the Hangar 560 block. Like in 2016, an ice dam diverted water from the stormwater ditch on adjacent property directly into back of the 560 hangar block causing them to flood. Staff is assessing options to protect this area from future floods. 2. Tie Down Rental: The Forest Service will be soliciting bids on a two-phase project to rebuild their entire parking ramp this summer, so staff will be hosting additional USFS assets on our ramps. I intend to alter the tie down parking concept to eliminate assigned spots. We will offer a parking placard to be placed in the aircraft windscreen to identify prior parking payment. (Say that 5 times fast.) 3. Triangle Development: This wasn’t worked on during April due to higher priority tasks. 4. Parallel Taxiway Relocation: T-O has prepared the grant request paperwork for the entire project and a contract for pre-design activities. 5. Land Acquisition: The FAA has refused reimbursement of the $13,499.23 which was spent above the cap on the non- litigation contract. While disappointing, this was not unexpected. Closeout documents are being altered to reflect. 6. Airport Zoning: GIS section plotted the zones recommended by FAA and Idaho Transportation Dept – Aero guidance. We are reviewing these zones to determine if they provide any utility on the north end of the airport and what controls on use might be implemented under these airspace overlays as part of the Airport Zone Code rewrite. Monthly Department Report – Airport 7. Airport Manager Resignation: I have resigned my position effective July 12 or upon arrival of a new airport manager, whichever is earliest. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the McCall community for the past 3 years. 8. Events: Airport Open House - July 6th. I will attend STEM day at Donnelly Elementary on May 18 from 10am to 2pm.
