Re: Monthly Department Report – August 2019
1. Airport Development:
Deinhard Development – An approximately 20,000 square foot area has been surveyed for a
commercial aviation business lease. The property will be offered to businesses in the order approved
by City Council. Leasing the property will have a positive impact of $6,000 annually to the Airport’s
Enterprise Fund.
Triangle Development – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has no objection to a limited
scope of leasing four (4) properties to tenants seeking to build aircraft hangar facilities. The leases will
be offered to the aircraft operators in the order they appear on the hangar waiting list. Leasing the
property will have a positive impact of approximately $8,600 annually to the Airport’s Enterprise
Fund.
Future Development – An approximately 9,800 square foot area on Deinhard across from the Fire
Station, and a 2.76-acre area west of the airport and south of Deinhard, are currently in concept as
possible future lease areas for commercial aviation businesses.
Airport Master Plan – Discussions with T-O engineering have been held to provide staff input into
items to be considered in the Master Plan. The project is expected to commence June 2020 and be
completed on October 2021.
2. Infrastructure Improvements:
Taxiway Relocation – Environmental work, and pre-design concepting, is currently ongoing for the
project. Per the FAA, bids must be in hand on April 22 – a deadline the City is currently on track to
meet. The project is expected to start construction in June of 2020 and will be broken into 2 phases.
The expected completion time is in August 2021.
Airport Improvement Program Closeouts – AIP projects for the northeast ramp reconstruction and
land acquisition have been completed and grant monies paid to the City. The City has received the
amounts of $155,249 and $1,751,410 from the FAA.

3. Pioneer Hangar Historical Designation:
The Pioneer Hangar’s historical designation project continues with a meeting on Sept. 28th by the
Idaho State Historical Society who will meet and vote to forward a recommendation for placement
on the U.S. Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places.
4. Pocket Parks:
An aviation radio has been installed in the pocket park at the end of old Deinhard, just west of the
airport. Benches will be installed next. Airport will work with Parks to design a canopy for sun
protection, and Parks has planned for signage along the bicycle trail.
