Re: Monthly Department Report – May 2019
1. 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).
2. 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.
3. Land Acquisition:
Closeout documents have been back and forth with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for review.
Currently with FAA for approval.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
