(The main extension prohibition will need to be discussed.) Lyn Clark seconded and the motion carried. Hangar Platting/Airport Survey: The committee recommended that a state -local grant for this work be submitted immediately (50:50 match). They asked staff to further discuss the matter with Toothman-Orton Engineering Services, suggested a fee and moved the item to the next agenda. Airport General Services Agreement: After discussion, Lyn Clark moved to recommend that the city continue the General Services Agreement for Airport Services with Toothman-Orton Engineering for one year, that the agreement be reviewed after one year and that the Mayor be directed to write a letter to the firm commending their excellent service. Airport Fuel Increase: Referred by City Council, after discussion, this matter was discussed at length. Clark moved to recommend that the increase of one cent fuel tax could be supported, if funds were prioritized for high activity airports. Work at the Weiser and Craigmont airports were viewed as wasteful expenditures of federal and state dollars. The priorities should be high use commercial airports, high use general aviation facilities and high use recreational airports. Arthur J.

ORTON, JR., PE/LS PAUL S. KUNZ, PE/LS STEVEN W. HOSAC, PE/LS TIMOTHY A. BURGESS, PE CHARLES P. SUNDBY, PE DAVID G. POWELL, PE GLENN K. BENNETT, LS Dear Bud: On January 17, 1989 I submitted a review of our Airport General Services Agreement work for the preceeding one year. This review established that substantial work was accomplished under that agreement and that an adjustment in the monthly retainer was war- ranted. The contract was subsequently revised and approved on October 18, 1989. Until October 1989 we were compensated at $200.00 per month. From October 1989 to the present we are being compensated at $350.00 per month. It is appropriate to review work performed since the last evaluation and assess if adjustment to the contract is warranted. Bill Statham and I have reviewed our relevant project files and have identified the following work tasks. These tasks required significant effort and therefore were identified with individual job files. Miscellaneous calls and similar items are not identi- fied in our records. The majority of these items were "unantic- ipated". Work Items 2/89 to 11/90 (20 month) 1. Review and Comment on Airport Administrative Documents - Lease Agreements, ordinances, and minimum standards. 2. Commuter Service and Essential Air Service research and coordination. 3. Displaced Threshold evaluation. 4. Approach & Departure from R/W 16 and relationship of school location. Evaluate possible conflicts with FAA Standards. 5. Unicom Radio Research & Grant Application for Idaho Bureau of Aeronautics. 6. Fuel Storage location analysis. 7. Respond to Jeppeson and Jane's Airport Directory Questionnaires. 8. Reevaluate ALP Based on New FAA Standards published in 1990. TOOTHMAN-ORTON ENGINEERING COMPANY Mr. Bud Schmidt Page 2 9. Hangar lot layout grading and site planning adjacent to E-W & N-S taxiways. 10. Develop airtanker parking plan along west side of USFS taxiway near R/W 16. 11. Additional layout and drafting on "Ultimate" Development Plan for the Airport. 12. Lease Rate Study for evaluation of rate adjustments. 13. Assist in AWOS system evaluation and coordination of repairs. 14. Meeting attendance and general coordination. During this time period Bill and I have a combined total of 182.5 hours which is an average of 9.1 hours per month. There is also a block of hours for drafting work in items 9, 10 and 11 which I have not broken out. I believe there is roughly 30 hours in drafting. We had previously used 4 to 5 hours per month as a rule of thumb for the $200/mo. fee. Adjusting this to reflect a $350.00/mo. fee results in an average of 7 to 8.75 hours per month. Our actual time per month is somewhat higher than this range but certainly within limits acceptable to us. A signifi- cant amount of time has been expended to date and more is antici- pated relative to hangar layout and planning of other improve- ments in the vicinity of the new taxiways. Based on this analysis it is our opinion that present contract terms are fair to both parties and request continuation of our existing agreement. If you have any questions or wish to discuss the agreement fur- ther, please call me. Sincerely, e5t:A4,V; Charles P. Sund ., P.E.

Box 1065 McCall, ID 83638 RE: McCall Airport Plat Dear Bud: RICHARD F. ORTON, JR., PEILS PAUL S. KUNZ, PEILS TIMOTHY A. BURGESS, PE CHARLES P. SUNDBY, PE DAVID G. POWELL, PE GLENN K. BENNETT, LS Pursuant to your request, I have defined the need and evaluated alternatives for providing a "Plat" of the Airport, particularly the hangar lease site area. This evaluation was deemed necessary as a result of requirements of lending institutions who may be asked to finance hangar con- struction at the Airport. I have discussed this issue with Gor- don Colburn and have concluded that a legally recordable survey document, "plat", which provides precise descriptions of land parcels, is necessary to support title insurance policies for loans. The Airport Layout Plan (ALP) is not a survey document or plat, it is merely a planning document which demonstrates relative lo- cations of features and services. Once the need for a plat was established, I investigated methods of preparing a suitable plat in a simple, cost-effective manner. The finished product must meet legal requirements, provide ade- quate information to meet immediate needs, and be readily modi- fied as future needs evolve. The following is considered to be the best approach to accomplish the above. 1. Prepare a Record -of -Survey for the Airport outer boundary. Tom Kerr has informed us that he has most of the necessary information and could accomplish this work for $2500 to $3000. 2. Prepare a plat based on the above Record -of -Survey which establishes 3 larger blocks i.e. the area East of the N.S. Taxiway, the area South of the E-W Taxiway, and the remainder of the Airport. The first two blocks would further be described as lots and parcels. Toothman- Orton could accomplish this work for an estimated additional cost of $3000 to $3500. Total cost for a suitable plat is therefore in the range of $5500 to $6500. TOOTHMAN-ORTON ENGINEERING COMPANY Mr. Bud Schmidt Page 2 I believe only a small amount of field work is required to accom- plish the above work. This work might be accomplished during the winter months. We are at present investigating two possible means of funding, which are, a State -Local matching grant and inclusion in the Pre -Application which is now before the FAA as a reimbursable item in the next grant project. I will let you know when I have received answers to these questions. I encourage the City to pursue accomplishing this work as it ap- pears to be an important factor in accomplishing hangar construc- tion at the airport. Perhaps if the City "fronted" the cost it could be gradually recouped through a "fee" associated with the individual lot lease? This may warrant some consideration by the Advisory Committee. I hope this brief report provides the necessary information re- quested. I look forward to discussing this further with you in the near future. Sincerely, Charles P. Sndby, P.E.

Support is needed for a one -cent increase in Idaho's aviation fuel tax. The increase will provide a modest increase in revenue to your state aeronautics account. The Bureau of Aeronautics is requesting a revenue increase to provide gddiiiQagi ,financigl grania i4 islah2_a aitaaria . The last major funding increase into the Aeronautics account was in 1972, when the aviation fuel tax was increased by one cent. In the nearly twenty years since that increase, inflation has seriously eroded the spending power of these fuel tax revenues. This one -cent proposal failed last year; however, the prospects for success look better this year. The recent increases at the national level may interfere with our proposal, but our needs were identified well over a year ago and still exist. I'd like your group to consider supporting this needed proposal. My staff or I can supply any information you need. Sincerely, WILLIAM C.
