a. Costs for hookup- a lengthy discussion took place regarding
the costs and responsibility for sewer hookup. It was the consensus of the
AAC that the individual hangar owners are responsible to pay for the cost of
connection. These costs include the following:
i. Plumbing Permit with the State of Idaho, $38
ii. Materials, $100-$200
iii. Equipment time, up to $600 for an 8 hour installation.
iv. Employee time. $350 for two people for 8 hours.
v. It was also discussed that we may want to give the
hangar owners the choice of bringing in their own contractor, and perhaps
they could coordinate with several other hangars to help reduce the cost.
b. Responsibility to move propane tanks-There are several
propane tanks that will need to be moved in order to place the line for several
hangars. Many of these propane tanks belong to hangar owners who do not
have sewer. It was suggested that we further research the lease agreements
to see if,
i. There is an easement for placement of the sewer in
the lease agreements.
ii. There is permission granted in the leases for
placement of the propane tanks.
iii. The propane tanks are located fully within the
leasehold of the hangar owner.
c. If we don’t have an easement, we should work to get one in
place before we proceed with the work.
7. EA Update
a. FONSI Issued-The Finding of No Significant Impact, FONSI
was signed by FAA September 23, 2011. Notice was placed in the Star News
that people can comment on it until October 11, 2011.
b. Next steps- We will negotiate a scope of work with the land
acquisition specialists during October with the intent to move forward with
land acquisition. It was suggested that the city also look at purchasing the
entire 1400 acre or so parcel that surrounds the airport.
There being no other business the meeting was adjourned.
