Home My Public Portal About2007.05.03 AAC Minutes City of McCall Airport Advisory Committee Minutes May 3, 2007 Legion Hall McCall, ID 83638 I. Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at 12:04 PM at Legion Hall II. Consideration of April 5, 2007 AAC Minutes. The minutes were approved with a change noting that the industrial zone does not permit an airport. III. Chairman’s Comments No Comments at this time. IV. Public Comment- Mike Anderson commented on the Krahn to Mission sewer project and noted that a large holding tank at the end of the existing dry lines would resolve the airport sewer issue. He also noted that there was an implied availability of sewer in EHP process. V. Airport Manager’s Report • Spring Newsletter • Incident/Accident Reports (See attached information) • Sewer Update (Preliminary Cost Estimate $275/l.f.) • July 7 Airport Open House Update. Suggestions were made regarding availability of aircraft. Rick Harvey reported that he had commitments for a C-130 and perhaps two A-10’s. Contact for the Air Guard Public Relations/Liaison is Captain Toni Vinichelli, 422-5887. • FAA Airport’s Conference Report (Information Attached) VI. Engineer’s Report (Runway Seal Coat Project, Survey for LPV). There was discussion about using the taxiway as a runway as has been done in the past. Since the taxiway is 50’ wide, it could meet the same standards as Cascade, with a runway width of 50’. Kevin Bissell explained that early or late construction would have issues with the emulsion and water base not setting well. Closure should not last more than a week, with open periods most days early and late. The LPV survey work will proceed at this time. VII. Minimum Standard’s Update- John Seevers reported that he will circulate his draft of the minimum standards before the next AAC meeting, and that discussion regarding them should take place at that time. VIII. Airport Zone Subcommittee Update- A discussion was held regarding the proposed change in zoning for the Airport from Industrial to Airport. It was pointed out that at the present time, the airport is in the Industrial Zone, and there are no provisions for an airport in the industrial zone, therefore, possibly making the airport a non conforming use. Public in attendance at the meeting made comments in favor of and opposed to the Airport Zone. At the close of discussion, it was decided not to change the April vote in favor of re-zoning the airport. IX. Budget Process, Rates and Charges. It was reported that the budget process has started. Because of the possible increase in AIP entitlement funds from $150,000 to $400,000 and the probably change by FAA in matching requirements from 5% to 10%, the airport match could go from $7,500 to $40,000. While the State of Idaho will match up to 50% of an AIP grant, it is unlikely that they would have enough money to match half of $40,000. However, they may be able to match at 2.5%, which has been their practice for the past five years. This would leave the local match at $30,000 which is significantly more than presently required. A review of rates and charges will also be forthcoming to address issues such as this. X. Master Plan-Citywide Comprehensive Plan Update. It was reported that a meeting between the City-Wide Comprehensive Plan steering committee and the Airport Planning Advisory Committee will likely happen within the next month. XI. Adjournment- The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 PM.
