AAC members recommended that the proposed siting location be moved to a spot adjacent to the walkthrough gate in the McCall Aviation Parking Lot. It was voiced that this would be a more convenient location for use by transient pilots, and that this location would mitigate bicycle traffic in front of commercial operators at the airport. Nate Coyle stated that he would coordinated this recommendation with McCall Aviation and the IAA. Adjourned at 1:25 PM Date Committee Chairperson, Dan Scott Attest: Airport Mger, Nate Coyle 2IPage
