Re: Monthly Department Report – June 2019
Airport Development:
The letter to interested parties is in development. It will be sent to the current hangar waiting list, known commercial applicants, and known parties interested in hangar development.
The surveyor has been scheduled to draw the legal boundaries of the leaseholds.
Parallel Taxiway Relocation:
T-O Engineers has analyzed current use and projected future growth to be used to determine required/best spacing of the taxiway to the runway. Upon approval by the FAA, these calculations
and projections will be able to be used in the upcoming Airport Master Plan. The current level of operations is estimated at 36,000 annual operations (down from 45,000 at last assessment).
The growth has been split into two portions, civil growth (1.1%) and US Forest Service growth (1.2%). The USFS growth and mission change are most likely to drive change to airfield
design within the life span of the pavement, but these projections should not require a change to current planning.
Land Acquisition:
Closeout documents have been signed and submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), hopefully for the final time. Awaiting authorization to submit reimbursement request through
eDelphi (grant financial accounting system).
Airport Zoning:
Draft language for permitted uses underlying airport zones continues.
Airport Lighting:
The circuit card to restore the airport lighting was received July 2nd and the runway lights were returned to service shortly thereafter.
Events:
Airport Open House - July 6th.
Note: As this is my last department report I’d like to take the opportunity to thank the citizens of McCall, the McCall City Council, and the City Manager for the opportunity to serve
as your Airport Manager for the previous 3.5 years. Additional thanks to the Airport Advisory Committee, fellow Department Heads and City Staff, and airport consultants for their outstanding
support. Finally, thank you for allowing me the privilege of leading the best damn, hardest working airport staff I’ve ever seen in twenty plus years of airport-related fun. I wish
you continued success.
