Mr. Fereday seconded and the motion carded unanimously. Business Election of new Chairperson: Mr. Saleen stated he could no longer serve as Chairperson due to his busy schedule and requested the AAC elect a new Chairperson. Mr. Anderson made a motion to nominated Ms. Lod MacNichol and Mr. Franz seconded the motion. The AAC unanimously elected Ms. MacNichol as the new Chairperson. Hangar Lease Rate Review: The City Council requested the AAC review rates in light of public concerns at the last Council meeting. Ms. MacNichol ask Mr. Anderson to explain the proposal he made at the Council meeting. Mr. Anderson apologized to the AAC for proposing a different plan than the AAC had agreed upon. He was concerned that the rates the AAC had developed were too high and felt the Council should take an entirely different approach to airport funding. Mr. Anderson proposes lower rates to stimulate new construction and allow for greater future development. Ms. Arp was concerned about having very Iow rates then raising them much higher at the five-year review pedod. This would create a lot of unhappy leaseholders. Mr. Doris expressed concern about the FBO's being out of any new rate structure. He felt they should be included in any review of lease rates. The Airport Manager agreed that the FBO lease rate should be changed and they should be included in any new proposal. Mr. Saleen would like to see a comparison of like property in the area. This would give the AAC a basis to compare. Mr. Saleen felt that there might be a conflict of interest if Mr. Anderson voted on future lease rates since Mr. Anderson owns a hanger. Mr. Anderson stated he would abstain from any further voting on the subject. Mr. Fereday stated he would exclude himself from voting as well because he also owns a hanger. Saleen proposed a flat rate of $. 10. Mr. Dods suggested a split rate of $.09/$.16 for the FBO's. Mr. Feready wanted to see a spreadsheet on the $. 10 rate. The Airport Manager stated he would provide it. Action: The AAC will continue to review lease rates and develop new proposal for City Council review. Minimum Standards: Mr. Dods expressed concern about the airport minimum standards. He feels that they are confusing and he could not obtain a signed copy from City Hall. The Airport Manager acknowledged that the records go back to 1970 and the most current copy was signed in 1990. The Airport Manager stated he was in the process of wdting new standards to address the shortcomings of the past minimum standards. He is consulting with the FAA and reviewing other examples from airports throughout the state. He stated he would have them complete by the next AAC meeting. Action: The Airport Manager will review and wdte a new set of minimum standards for the AAC to review at the next meeting. John Wolfs lease request: Mr. Wolf presented his detailed plan to install a self-fueling station. The plan was prepared by Toothman-Orton. Selections of four possible sites were presented to the AAC. Mr. Doris expressed his concems that Mr. Wolf should not be allowed to use Salmon Air's restrooms. He felt this would be "stacking" FBO's and unfair to the other FBOs that provides restrooms. Mr. Fereday felt that it would not be in the best interest of the airport to have Mr. Wolf rely on Salmon Air for services and he should provide his own restrooms. Mr. Anderson questioned if the minimum standards would be met by combining facilities. Mr. Saleen wants to add a clause requiring Mr. Wolf to construct his own restrooms. Mr. Saleen read the minimum standards suggested in the FAA Advisory Circular line by line to see if Mr. Wolf's request would meet the recommended standards. He then read the current set of minimum standards line by line for discussion. Mr. Dods stated that an economic feasibility study should be requested because he does not think the airport can support Mr. Wolf's self- fueling station and his full service FBO. Mr. Saleen read the section from the Advisory Circular regarding exclusive dghts to conduct services. Mr. Wolf stated he was running out of time to get project started and it was costing him money due to delays. Mr. Anderson doesn't see the need to require restrooms but feels Mr. Wolf should lease 10 tie down spots as stated in the minimum standards. Mr. Franz made a motion that the AAC recommend site one and with a clause that Salmon Air and Mr. Wolf tie-in to the existing sewer. Ms. MacNichol seconded the motion. The motion failed. Mr. Fereday made a motion to recommend site two with restrooms and ten tie down spots. Mr. Franz seconded the motion. The motion failed. Mr. Franz made a motion to approve site two with a unisex bathroom and waiting area of 200sqft in accordance with the current minimum standards. Ms. MacNichol seconded the motion. The motion carded and the AAC requested the Airport Manager make the AAC recommendation at the next available City Council meeting. Action: The Airport Manager will present the proposal at next Council meeting. Adjournment Mr. Saleen moved to adjoum. Ms. MacNichol seconded and the motion carded unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 2:30 PM. Secretary -~---
