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.
Adjournment – The meeting was adjourned at 1430 local
