Re: Monthly Department Report – June 2019
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. Airport Zoning:
Draft language for permitted uses underlying airport zones continues.
5. Airport Lighting:
The circuit card to restore the airport lighting was received July 2nd and the runway lights were returned to
service shortly thereafter.
6. Events:
Airport Open House - July 6th.
Monthly Department Report – Airport
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.
Jay Scherer
