AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MINUTES
DECEMBER 2, 1992

Kim Allen
Bud Schmidt
II. STATE BUREAU OF AERONAUTICS PROGRAM: *******
The Committee reviewed the application criteria and proposed
that an application for a survey of the airport, previously
submitted and denied, and funds for the information signs be
submitted. It was noted that no commercial lender will loan on
airport hangars without the survey, thereby inhibiting growth of
the facility. Colburn moved and Fereday seconded a motion to
recommend to the Council that a grant application for State funds
be submitted.
III. MEETING TIMES AND PLACE:
Some members find the early morning time difficult and it was
proposed to meet at 12 noon on the first Wednesday of January to
experiment with the time and place. The meeting will be at City
Hall.
IV. OTHER BUSINESS: ********
1. Asphalt Damage: The letter from Toothman-Orton evaluating
the pavement damage from the helicopter operations accompanied
photographs of the damaged areas. After review and discussion,
Fereday moved to recommend to the Council that the Airport
Manager be directed to write to the Forest Service advising that
the taxiways would not be used for helibase operations in the
future, that the damage be reported and that a claim for the
damage be made to be retained for the time when the asphalt will
need to be repaired and overlaid. Finally, the letter would
suggest the installation of concrete pads for future helicopter
operations. Tucker seconded and the motion carried.
2. Miller lease: The lease with Boyd Miller on his hangar
has been paid and executed.
3. RFP Engineer Selection: ********
Staff reported on work to date, and asked if the committee wished
to be the Selection Board for this process. Fereday moved to
recommend to the Council that the Airport Advisory Committee be
designated by the Council as the Selection Board for the Airport
Engineer. Colburn seconded and the motion carried.
4. Rate Increase: A proposed lease rate increase will be
reviewed and a report will be made to the Committee for action
at their January meeting.
5. Information Signs: Kim Allen and Lyn Clark reported on
progress on the sign project.
6. Receipt of the Wooten letter was acknowledged.
V. ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting adjourned at 8:15 a.m.

RE: Application for State Airport Improvement Aid
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Idaho Division of Aeronautics is soliciting applications for
airport improvement aid for FY 1994 (July 1, 1993 - June 30,
1994). Attached is a copy of the "Application to Idaho Airport
Aid Program" to use in submitting your request (please make
photocopies as needed).
The application deadline is January 31, 1993. Review and
approval by the Idaho Transportation Board is scheduled for their
March, 1993 meeting. Applicants will be advised as to the
results during April or May, 1993.
Please be thorough in completing your application. Be sure all
sections are completed. Failure to do so may result in a lower
priority than otherwise entitled.
ITD Rule IDAPA 39.D.04 (attached) calls for each airport
receiving financial assistance through this program to have an
approved master plan or airport layout plan (section 4.a) and
airport hazard/height limitation zoning (section 4.d).
Observance of these requirements will be mandatory. The
Aeronautics Board has determined that the first $2,000 for these
work items can be 100% state -funded with prior approval. Also,
our staff stands ready to assist in whatever ways we can
including, but not limited to, supplying you with copies of model
ordinances.

Each year the Division is asked by the FAA to provide recommended
additions to their Facilities and Equipment Program. We would
appreciate hearing any suggestions you or the users in your area
may have for navigation facilities, weather equipment,
communication facilities, or radar improvement. If possible
please include any recommendations with your grant application,
however, anything received by the end of April will be useful in
preparing our recommendations to FAA.
Should you have any questions or need assistance in the
formulation of your project and completion of the application
form please contact me at, 334-8783. As always, I look forward
to working with you in our joint effort to improve the air
transportation system in Idaho.
Sincerely,

McCall, Id. 83638
Dear Bud,
In a situation such as this there is more than one side to the
story. I believed at the time I was proceeding in a proper
manner. However, to bring the issue to a close there are a couple
of points I wish to make. First, I apologize for any
inconvenience I may have caused to you, the City of McCall and
the Airport Committee. Second, I appreciate the fact that I"m
able to use the McCall Airport and will certainly abide by the
Airport Regulations.
If you need any additional information from me concerning this
matter, please don't hesitate to call. Again, thank you for your
time.

In the future we recommend that precautions be taken or. alternate
procedures be put imto place to prevent damage to the taxiways,
eapeciully damage doe to fuel spillage A fuel resi.stant overlay.
could be applied to the asphalt surfaces prior to use by the
helicopters, but this would alleviate only the damage due to fuel
spills and would. not ave Le pavement from rutting. Other
considerations such as concrete pads in the infield orea coold
provide a suitable alternative. Use of the infield area would,
however, require a revised airport operations plan.
We augqest that a joint meeting with the City, Forest Service and
ourselves be held to discuss operation options prior- to the next
fire season.
Pleaso call if you have any questions or need any additional
information.
