Gary Shimun was present to represent staff. Jack Magee was also present. Colburn moved and Fereday supported to approve the minutes of the April 5, 1995 regular meeting, and the April 28, 1995 special meeting of the Committee. All were in favor. The motion carried. Anderson and Shimun reported on their meeting with Cayla Morgan of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Both agreed that Morgan left with a much better understanding of our needs. Shimun reported that the independent review of the Scope of Work for the Airport Master Plan by Nick Nesta of Carter -Burgess Engineering would be complete by May 5, 1995 or the following week. Our next step, assuming approval by the FAA would be to enter into an agreement with David Rickerson and Transportation Specialists, Inc. to do the Master Plan. Member Merrill Saleen arrived at 12:13 p.m. Old Business Anderson gave a report on the status of the Airport Improvement Plan. He indicated that scheduling the work with Seubert Construction was not going well. Shimun reported on the progress of the Airport Master Plan. He and Anderson had met with David Rickerson of Transportation Specialists, Inc. on Friday, April 28, 1995, and it appears that work will begin as soon as the Carter -Burgess finishes the independent review of the Scope of Work, and the FAA gives it their approval. New Business The Committee discussed landing fees. Saleen noted that the Forest Service wants to go to landing fees, but our current contract with them is for a fixed price, calculated to average the previous five years, and entered into every five years. This contractual arrangement ensures a fixed sum of money for the Airport budget each year. If the City went to a landing fee, as the Forest Service appears to like, then Airport revenue will fluctuate, and be tied to seasonal demand. Without a landing fee, we will continue to have a fixed amount to budget with. The Committee agreed to stand by their decision to recommend eliminating landing fees for commercial users, and to keep the current contractual arrangement with the Forest Service. Jack Magee made an offer to lease Lot 1D to build a hangar on. The Committee reviewed the contract document, and recommended that paragraph 10 be stricken from Exhibit B of the document, and that the last paragraph, paragraph eleven, be renumbered as paragraph 10. Fereday moved and Anderson supported to recommend approval of the lease to City Council as amended. All were in favor. The motion carried. Anderson moved and Saleen supported to recommend that the Airport Manager attend the Idaho Airport Management Association meeting in Idaho Falls on Saturday, May 6, 1995. All were in favor. The motion carried. The Committee discussed the need to create an address system for hangars at the Airport. Shimun suggested that the alpha -numeric system designated by the record of survey for the airport be adopted. Committee members felt that using numbers and letters might be confusing, and suggested that a straight numbering system might be more appropriate. The Chairman directed Staff to prepare a numbering system identifying Warren Brown's hangar as number one, Richard Fereday's hangar as number 8, and Douglas Manchester's hangar with a Deinhard Road address. This system should be presented to the Committee for review at its next regular meeting in June. Staff was directed to pass the Lafferty advertisement on to Public Works Superintendent William Keating, since he is in charge of airport maintenance. The Idaho Transportation Department Airport Improvement Aid program was presented for Committee consideration. It was noted that no project that was not on the current Airport Master Plan could be applied for under this program, so future projects identified by the new Airport Master Plan will have to wait until next year. Staff was directed to determine if relocation of the rotating beacon was part of the current Airport Improvement Project, and if it was not, to list it for funding consideration. It was also recommended that Staff talk with the Airport Engineer, Chuck Sundby of Toothman-Orton Engineering about optioning DeBoer property along either side of the runway under this funding proposal, since it is on the current Master Plan. A new contract with Toothman-Orton Engineering to provide services to do the Airport AWOS upgrade was discussed. The agreement calls for an engineering fee of $7,902.00 to complete that project. Colburn moved and Fereday supported to recommend to City Council that the contract with Toothman-Orton Engineering for the AWOS upgrade be approved. All were in favor. The motion carried. Discussion Chairman Anderson presented a letter from Pioneer Air regarding the replacement of tie down chains. Staff was directed to pass the letter on to Toothman-Orton Engineering with a request to review results. The Committee agreed that the hold down ring should be recessed, and designed to be sub- surface. There being no other business before the Committee, Saleen moved and Colburn supported to adjourn. The motion carried. The meeting ended at 1:15 p.m. Michael • erson, Chairman
