Additional item to the agenda, City Manager's Letter to AAC
The AAC discussed the contents of the letter and the assumption of the lease from Salmon Air to
Mr. Stephen White d/b/a Granite Holdings LLC. AAC felt the transcripts of the minutes were
misinterpreted and the letter was not necessary. The AAC reiterated their concerns with the
assignment of the lease because Mr. White's intent was never established. The committee
recalled other assignment of leases, stated that the person's that assumed the lease should have
specified a business plan and/or their intent.
Action: AAC requested a copy of Mr. White d/b/a Granite Holding, LLC, letter of intent that was
submitted to the Airport Manager.
Airport Fencing Project-AIP #9
The Airport Manager reported that there are no established start dates, however the Airport
Manager plans to meet with Keith Kohler next week to discuss the project. The AAC inquired
about the time frame to use the AIP money before the airport looses it. The AAC discussed the
type of access gates, and whether they would be punch code or card key.
Action: The AAC requested that the Airport Manager provide information on the project's start date and
specifics of the AIP grant.
Hazardous Fuels Reduction Grant
The Airport Manager reported the airport is applying for a state grant to clean-up the under lying
brush east of the runway protection zone that boarder's private property. The topic was brought
to surface by a citizen along RPZ that has attempted numerous times to solicit City officials to
have the area cleanup because of the potential fire threat. The grant will be rewarded in the
spring. The Airport Manager reassured AAC members that no airport funding would be
required.
Development of the Triangle
The Airport Manager reported that since the last meeting there have not been any further
developments. The AAC stressed their concern with the current plans for corporate hangers
because they feel that the demand is not for corporate hangers but for T-Hangers. The AAC
discussed the demand for T-Hanger vs. Corporate Hangers and discussed plans for T-Hangers.
The AAC recommends that a plan be developed that best utilizes the triangle, incorporating
space for snow storage and ramp space outside the 65.5' safety area.
Action: The AAC requests that the Airport Manager looks into possible ways of developing the triangle,
and consider biding the project or City funded.

the other electrical problems that will be fixed in the upcoming weeks.
