Approval of Minutes from September 2020: The September 3 2020 regular meeting
minutes were presented for review. Several corrections were proposed and will be added
to the minutes. The revised minutes will be brought to the November 5 meeting.
New East-West Taxiway Alternatives: The FY21 Airport Improvement Project (AIP)
was discussed. Staff plans to request Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funding to
design and construct an East-West taxiway to replace the recently removed "Diagonal
Taxiway" and improve traffic circulation to the businesses on the northeast ramp.
A decision has not been made by the FAA concerning funding.
Four concept drawings were provided. Staff recommended version 3 (the taxiway to run
immediately south of the north ramp pavement). The AAC was agreeable to alignment#3.
North Ramp Helicopter Pads: T-O Engineers has provided a drawing to mark North
Ramp Helicopter Pads. These pads will be temporary until the Airport Master Plan
determines a better location.
The pads will be painted while the striping crew is here for the first marking of the new
taxiway pavement. Currently scheduled for Oct. 1 -2.
The AAC agreed with the placement of helicopter landing markings on the north ramp.
A question was raised concerning additional helicopter landing markings on the north
ramp. This issue is being examined as part of the Airport Master Plan(AMP).
