Business
Airport Snow Removal Equipment: Plow
The AAC are concerned with the airport plow blade. The blade was damaged during a snow
event last year and was never fixed. The Airport Manager advised that the plow has a 1 1/4" gap
between the ground and the blade. The committee stated that the previous Airport Manager had
received an estimate on repairing the plow but nothing was done.
Action:
The AAC advised looking into repairing the blade or replacing the plow.
Airport Snow Removal
The Airport Manager explained the extent of his training with the equipment and with the snow
removal process. The AAC advised that the training was insufficient and that they would be
available for advice.
Action:
The AAC will write a letter of concern to the City Council that the Airport Manager has a lack of
instruction and needs help.
Kasey Lindsay and Chris Cox
The Airport Manager advised that the two individuals (Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Cox) with lots 15
and 16 have submitted a request to connect their culverts together. The Airport Manager
consulted with the Public Works Director and City Manager. In addition, he met with Kasey
Lindsay to discuss the plan and has no problems with their plans.
Action:
The AAC agreed with the Airport Manager's decision to approve the modification and
recommends having the Public Works Director and Airport Manager inspects the installation of
the culvert before the hole is filled.
Cell Tower:
The AAC explained the history of the Cell Tower and has concerns that the company is not
fulfilling their obligation to keep the tower lighted. A condition of the agreement with the City
of McCall and Clear Shot Communication was to keep the tower lighted at all times.
Action:
The AAC recommends lowering the intensity to accommodate the neighborhood while
maintaining a level of safety during low visibility. The AAC advises the Airport Manager to
meet with the City Planner and talk to the Cell Tower owners to get it fixed.
