Re: Monthly Department Report – May 2019
Airport Development:
Airport staff reassessed the triangle development for snow removal. Will meet Council in June with improved plan and a request for additional commercial space between the Snow Removal
Equipment shed and emergency gate (fronting Deinhard Ln).
Parallel Taxiway Relocation:
In the design phase, T-O engineers is gathering data on current airport use per the contract and grant application signed at the May 23 Council meeting.
Land Acquisition:
Closeout documents have been back and forth with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for review. Currently with FAA for approval.
Airport Zoning:
The Airport Manager will make land use recommendations for properties underlying proposed protective overlays to the Airport Advisory Committee, Community and Economic Development Dept,
etc. prior to departure.
Airport Lighting:
There is a failed card in the airport lighting regulator which has caused the airport runway edge lights to be NOTAMed out of service. Standard published lead time to receive the cards
is 6-8 weeks. Telephone conversation with the manufacturer indicates a two week turn around may be possible if they have some maintenance stock. This means no fixed wing night operations
into McCall until the lights are repaired.
Events:
The Airport Manager exhibited a display of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast area picture over McCall and some airplane videos at STEM day at Donnelly Elementary on May
18. The presentation was well received.
Drone Camp will be held June 17-19 with the classroom portion being at the airport on the 17th and the flying portion in Cascade on the 18-19.
Airport Open House - July 6th.
