Anette is on vacation 12/13-12/28. The second round of interviews/AAC interaction with the
finalists will occur when she is back, either the last week of December or first week of January.
AIP 028 — Airport Master Plan Update:
Wayne Reiter, TO Engineers, reported that all chapters of the Master Plan are complete and
available on the project portal via the Airport web page. The draft Airport Layout Plan (ALP) is
also on the portal. The key pieces to look at are Chapter 8 and the ALP to see the main
deliverables developed by the planning process. A Technical Advisory Committee meeting is
scheduled for December 7 to review. The next step will be to schedule a public meeting and add
any additional input. Then the plan goes to FAA for their comments then to the City Council.
The AAC members expressed a preference for the new Airport Manager to be on board before
the public meeting so that person can participate. Mr. Reiter pointed out that the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) included in the Master Plan includes items for Obstruction Removal
projects.
USFS Maintenance Agreement update:
Shawn Walters of USFS reported that the current agreement expires at the end of this month.
Shawn recommends to the AAC and the City that the existing agreement be extended for one
more year to give staff time to work through any needed changes to the agreement for the future.
The USFS contracts office has concurred with this approach. Mike Weiss moved approval of
recommending a one-year extension to the city council, Charles Jones seconded. Approved
unanimously.
Items for Future AAC agenda:
The committee asked that Obstruction Mitigation Planning remain on the future agenda list as it
will be an ongoing process. Mr. Reiter stated there is an FAA spreadsheet that identifies each of
the approach obstructions. He will locate it and send out to the committee.
Meeting Adjourned at 12:30p.m. with a motion by Mike Weiss, second by Shawn Walters and
unanimous approval.
