John Seevers and Eric Hagen (USFS) were absent. Chairman’s Comments: Chairman Seevers was out of town. Dan Scott presided over the meeting. Minutes: ¾ The minutes from the February, 2007, regular meeting, were reviewed and approved Public Comment: ¾ No Public Comment was forthcoming. Airport Manager’s Report: 1. Current Events: Business: East Hanger Project - Update: Mike Anderson (Hangar Solutions) gave an update. All hangar building is complete. Sewer is still an issue. 24 of the 33 hangars have been closed with 4 awaiting paving and 6 units still available. Hangar Solutions has been placing ads in GA News, IAA Newsletter, Rudder Flutter, etc. to reach a greater potential purchasing market. CDHD will not issue a permit to move or relocate a holding tank for the relocated hangar. Mike believes that the city should be in the lead in resolving the sewer issue. Mike suggested several interim solutions including a monitoring program and a large (10,000 gallon) holding tank Hangar solutions is willing to administer a contract to see this accomplished. 2. Lease Activity. Miller-Poston Hanger Proposal. It was proposed to split the existing Hangar 210 lease at the east (back) end of hangar 210, and permit construction of a second hangar with a zero lot line. The existing improvement is on two hangar lots. Issues discussed included the width of the hangar door, vs. the wingspan of the largest airplane that can utilize the taxi-lane; granting a license to access the taxi-lane across the land not leased, meeting building code etc. Rik Poston asserts that it will meet building code as it would be treated similar to a townhouse with a common wall. A motion was passed to send this proposal to City Council with a positive recommendation. 3. Hangar Waiting List Policies. A lengthy discussion regarding Hangar Waiting List policies revolved around what happens to a person’s place on the list if they enter into a purchase and sales agreement, but do not complete the transaction and do not enter into a lease agreement with the Airport. It was also made clear that Hangar Solutions was now free to sell their remaining hangars to anyone in that the list had been exhausted, with the caveat that the purchaser still needs to get on the list, pay the $500, and have their first years lease payment, and part of the next years payment taken from the deposit. 4. AAC Vacancies. Two positions on the Airport Advisory Committee were up for appointment, or re-appointment. Five persons applied, including two members whose terms were expiring. One of the members present at the meeting (Gordon Eccles) had requested to be re-appointed. One member not present (John Seevers) had requested re-appointment. This left two members to make a recommendation regarding the three candidates. After a lengthy discussion, it was decided to forward all five names to City Council for their decision, as City Code states that the Mayor makes recommendations regarding committee appointments and the City Council approves appointments. There was also general discussion regarding qualifications to be on the AAC, including representatives from General Aviation and Business Aviation.
