Han ar Inspections Update
Getting there! Need to schedule one for R. Fereday.
Obstruction Removal Plan Update
The Airport Manager stated that the survey data on the lowered apple tree in the 34 approach has
been submitted in the FAA tool and hopes to see the instrument approach reinstated soon.
Obstructions removal in the 16 approach are on hold until the City hires a GIS analyst. Mr.
Fereday asked why not have TO, or another company, provide the GIS support, to which Ms.
Hart replied that the Airport engineering budget is already maxed out, and she wants to wait until
the work can be done in-house (City) as was done with the City Arborist with the tree lowering.
Chairman Jones mentioned displacing threshold to attain 3 degree glideslope and improve
missed approach procedure. K. Bissell stated that the Master Plan's runway extension of 402'
assumes that the airport moves to different category (from B2 to C2) and would need an
additional 400' to 600' safety area. He stated there is no advantage in switching to C2 category,
as these type aircraft are becoming obsolete and MYL would need based C2 aircraft to switch
from B2 to C2.
Hangar 101 Proposal
Ms. Hart announced that Base Camp Aviation is interested in leasing office space and a kiosk
location for helicopter tours. This led to a discussion on the existence of a certain precedent for a
commercial lease to jump the hangar waiting list, but putting commercial activity is not desired
in the infield. The Airport perimeter only is preferred for commercial leases. In the past, AAC
and airport management didn't want a school in the infield or maintenance, due to increased
traffic, UPS, parts delivery. Chairman Jones stated that he hoped Base Camp would buy fuel
from the airport. 0 Pe .
Airport Sewer I<xtension Update
Sewer line installation and asphalt went well. Chairman Jones asked if there is a gap in the
taxiway at the new asphalt. Mr. Bissell and Ms. Hart assured there is not a gap. Mr. Bissell
informed the group that the new asphalt was poured in a key joint, with a step down, which will
mean no future gap, and provide a longer space for water to get through. Granite still needs to
install the correct manhole ring. Today's walk-through is postponed until the supplier provides
the correct manhole and installation is completed. Inspection is delayed due to lack of manhole
ring. The lid needs to be aircraft rated, to withstand anything from a 182 to a 747.
Hangar 1000 update
LLC Formation is in process and this lease is on Council agenda Nov. 17.
RFP small hangar complex update
Draft reviewed by TO Engineering and sent to legal for review.

3000-4000/cubic yards. Need to have it removed by next summer.
