AIRPORT COMMITTEE MEETING
APRIL 14, 1986
Members present - Ron Deip' Kirk Braun, Lyn Ciark^ Ciiff Lee, Neal.
Davis <LSFS), Bud Schmidt.
The Committee reviewed Raiph Kangast summary of costs and project
review for the NDB^ After a Lengthy discussion, the committee rec-
ommends that instaiiation of an NDB be the cify's next priority for
airport improvemenfs. Securing a site for the beacon is an essentiai
and immediate need. It was noted that this wouLd be a city -owned and
operated (not F9A or State supported) faciiify~
The Committee was advised that identifying parking rows by row Letters
wnuid be an additional. cost. The committee asked that the painting
contract be written to permit this as a contract aiternafe to permit
evaivatiwn of this in Light of costs~ Further, an aiternate which
identified rnw's Letter and type of parking (e^g^ ROW At RESIDENT),
omitting the word "Parking" shouid be deveioped,
Mr. Schmidt asked the committee to review the daiiy safety inspection
report. The committee added two items, inspection of windsock Lights,
and inspection of thresho[d Lights at both ends of the runway^ Ron
Deip vniunteered to waik through the inspecfion un Monday, Apr ii 14,
with Chief Points and City Administrator Schmidt*
Aiignmenf of the airport beacon Light was discussed* City staff wiii
inquire whether the FAA has jurisdiction or oviii assist in reviewing
the ai/qnment and checking the Light intensity.
Transient tie -downs were again discussed with a pruposaL to ask
FBO^s to tag pianes~ Each FBO wouid use different cmiured enveiopes
and receive a percentage of the fee, The committee asked staff to
research this approach.
CounciLman Lee asked for suggestions for persons to f|iL the Airport
Committee vacancy caused by Kermit Peterson~s resignation.
Some discussion occurred regarding a future Lease on the current
"Fire House" for an aircraft related operation.

Re: NDB Report Requested
per Letter Dated 3/11/86
Dear Bud:
Pursuant to your request, I have prepared a full written status
report for the referenced NDB.
As a way of introduction to you and those members of the
Airport Committee who were not originally involved in the
project, let me first direct your attention to the AIRPORT MASTER
PLAN. In this document the NDB was scheduled to have been
installed by 1985 at an estimated cost of $22,00V_plus 15%
contingencies. So much for planning government schedules and
expenditures!
At the time the MASTER PLAN was written and the City began
implementation of the NDB project in 1981, there were certain
estimates made in regard to the cost of the project which have
not proven to be correct. The first of these was the brand of
radio selected for the site. After we completed our MASTER PLAN,
it was discovered that the radioK we were going to use were
experiencing operational problems, and as such were deemed
unreliable f6r IFR installations. Further, the STATE has been
severely restricted by the lack of funding by the legislature,
and as such is not in a position to furnish the radios as was
originally programed. This means the cost of the radio will have
to be born by the City. In broad terms, it was originally planned
that the STATE would furnish and install the radio, while the
CITY would provide the land, power, and site surveys necessary to
certify the station. The $7000 cost to the CITY was estimated to
include $3000 for site surveys and certification, and $4000 for
land, power, and site improvements. The $15,000 cost by the
STATE was to have included the' cost of the radios,building,
fencing and installati6n. ' r
'
We have been in contact with the STATE in order to determine
what effort they can offer in this project with the present
limitations placed on them. It should be made very clear at this
point, that there are still many, questions regarding their
ability to participate, particularly in view of the fact that the
legislature has critical funding bills 6nder consideration as I
write this report' In view of the limited information available,
the costs included herein are the best estimates that can be made
at this time.
First of all, please understand that this facility cannot be
"horse -backed" in by a bunch of local good-ol-boys who want a
radio to help them poke holes in the clouds. Our facility must
meet the requirements of FEDERAL AIR REGULATIONS, PART 172,
SUBPART 8, a copy which is enclosed for your reference. To this
end, it has been determined that a radio which meets FAA
requirements must be.installed.
The program as now estimated would be shared by the STATE and
CITY as follows:
The STATE will be responsible for the_fuJJnwing items:
(1) Preliminary planning and engineering, including
location, facility design and layout.
site
(2) Selection of the NDB transmitter and associated equipment.
(3) Installation of the facility,, including transmitter
building, antenna,antenna ground plane, security fencing,
signing, lighting, etc.
(4) Establishment of an operation and maintenance manual.
(5) Obtain the FCC license.
(6) Submit application for an instrument approach to the FAA'
The CITY will be responsible for the following items:
(1) Purchase the radio transmitter and associated equipment.
(2) Acquire an approved site. The site must be held in fee
simple or a long term lease.
"
(3) Provide a source of primary 3 wire, 240 volt, power to the
site.
-2
(4) Construct an approved, all weather gravel surface access
road to the site.
(5) Secure all required construction, and electrical permits,
land use or zoning certificates, and any other local laws.
(6) Secure the services of a certified journeyman electrician
to connect the electrical power 'supply to the transmitter
building.
(7) Certification by the CITY COUNCIL that they will not
attempt to restrict the use of the NDB facility, in any manner,
by the flying public.
(8) Provide 24 hour monitoring of the facility by the placement
of an automated remote monitor in the city police or county
sheriff's dispatch room. ~ -
(9) Provide for the ongoing operation and maintenance of the
facility in accordance with an approved plan for the
Non -Precision Instrument Approach.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE Operation and maintenance of the NDB
shall be accordance with the Operations & Maintenance Manual
prepared by the STATE, and will become part of the STATE/CITY
Project Agreement. Normally, the maintenance schedule for this
class of facility is limited to ensuring that the transmitter is
kept on frequency, the authorized power output is not exceeded,
and downtime due to failure is kept at a minimum. (That's why
the expensive radio.)
In order to maintain certificatiop as a NPI approach aid,
operation and maintenance shall comply with FAR Part 17 qubpart
B, Section 171.31. Generally, these requirements consist of:
(1) FAA ground inspection and approval of the facility.
(2) FAA flight check of the facility.
(3) FAA approval and certification of the designated
electronics technician. `
(4) Scheduled extensive maintenance checks of the facility.
(5) Submission of reports to the FAA per FAR 171.33.
(6) The establishment of an approved air to ground
communications procedure to transmit ATC clearances, etc.
"
(7) The establishment of an approved AVIATION WEATHER STATION
(SAWRS). The weather station is necessary to provide instrument
-- approaches to other than Part 91 Operations.

SCHEDULE Commissioning of a site usually takes between 12 and 18
months after the radio is ordered to secure the necessary
approvals and testing. ^
Finally, my calls to Idaho Power in regards to their plans to
use the railroad right -of way for a transmission line, leads me
to believe at this point, that they are not committed to a
definite program. They do not have a contiguous right-of-way
between Donnelly and McCall, and as such, would have consideraWe
efforts and time involved to make the remaining acquisitions. In
addition, there is no immediate need for a tranznission line. If
the rumored ski hill near Donnelly devclops, or if other needs
develop, they may need the t,Rnsmission line. If they were to
construct one, it wou?d probably be a 138 KVA line on 70 foot
towers. The pnople at AVIATION SYSTEMS INC. indicated there
whould be a good separation between high tension lines and the
antenna, however there is no spewific criteria for separation.
They indicate that therP are stations^ operating successfully near
power lines of various sorts, and there are some that do not. In
fact they indicate that until a radio is actually commissioned,
' t predict its performance In some cases, trees
there is no way o p .
mountains and buildings have altered the NDB signal. In view of
the uncertain program of Idaho Power at this point, it appears
the CITY ought to proceed with the facility now, and wait to see
if and when a conflict with the tran=mission line develops.
By way of copy to the STATE, I would request they review the
contents of this report so that we may begin finalizing the
program with them. `
