consultants representing the firm of Toothman-Orton. The Firm of Mead-Hunt was
selected as the firm for planning (new airport master plan) and would be a subcontractor
to Toothman-Orton. He then went into specific issues presented to the committee in
outline form:

available)
¾ Crack Sealing (completed in 2005, reimbursed in FY 2006) $14,530.
¾ Mater Plan, approximately $100,000 (approx)
¾ Snow Removal Equipment, $150,000 (approx)
¾ Security Fencing (1500’), approximately $40,000

Dip on taxiway
AAC’s recommendations: The committee asked for further information on snow
removal equipment. The selection of a CAT 924GZ Loader (or equivalent size in
another brand) was not recommended by the consultants. More research was
recommended by the AAC.
- 2006 Tie-Down policy proposals – the AAC reviewed and accepted the
proposed Tie-Down agreement for the 2006 seasonal tie-downs. Most of the
changes are minor administrative matters. The airport manager will go before
the city council at a later date to propose a new resolution to increase tie-down
fees to $30.00/month.

- Tenant’s Proposals – With each of the following, the AAC listened to the
proposals and moved on the preceding acceptance criteria for each:
¾ Hangar 106B – new bi-fold door; the AAC wanted the following:

letter being brought to the next AAC meeting

would not be responsible for the incremental expense of added
improvements

in compliance with the highway 55 “Scenic Route” criteria

Dan Scott dismissed himself from the AAC to present his proposal –
request to lease 46,000 square feet from the city to construct a 100’ x 120’
storage hangar in the current location of the Airport Manager’s Office
(which would be moved by the City of McCall) and would build to suit a
new office and shop/garage facilities for the Airport Manager. The AAC
