Also present was Chuck Sundby and Kevin Bissell of Toothman-Orton Engineering, and Wayne
Pickerell of the Idaho Transportation Department, Division of Aeronautics.
There were no minutes from the last meeting.
Sundby did an update on the current airport work. Excess material will be used to surface temporary
tie down. The Committee discussed other options for the use of excess material. Otherwise, the
project is on schedule. The north taxiway should be done by mid-July.
Moving the rotating beacon to the west end of the old hangars as a City project was discussed.
Anderson moved and Tucker supported to ask the City to undertake moving the rotating beacon,
along with necessary power lines. The motion passed unanimously.
Sundby next discussed the status of the AWOS upgrade. He drafted a letter for direct procurement
of the AWOS upgrade and recommended that the City proceed by reducing the size of the jet apron
to save enough funds from the Airport Improvement Project to purchase the upgrade.
Tucker moved and Anderson supported a motion to ask the City to proceed with direct acquisition
of the AWOS upgrade from Qualimetrics, including installation and spare parts as needed. The
motion passed unanimously.
Anderson noted that the grant application from the City to do the Master Plan is due and that this
process should proceed as soon as possible. It was also noted that the State grant application is still
not finished.
Anderson moved that the City be asked to close the new bike trail until a fence is constructed
between it and the west taxiway. Tucker supported and the motion passed unanimously.
A request by J.B. Scott to widen the taxiway due west of his hanger was presented.
Fereday moved and Tucker supported to approve the Scott request provided that Scott employ an
airport engineer and pays all costs associated with the project, and that the City's Airport Engineer
and the Airport Committee have a final review before work is commenced. The motion passed
unanimously.
The committee indicated that the Airport Manager should consult with the Superintendent of Public
Works to acquke a hot crack, grout and seal system for use on the airport and City streets, since the
process would achieve superior repair results to the cold method presently used.
The Airport Manager should contact Phil Cummins or Greg Delavan at Couer d' Alene at 772-7838
about surplus equipment.
The Committee again discussed an aircraft counting system for the airport.
Colburn moved and Anderson supported to request approval of a $6,000 expenditure for a video
counting system. The motion passed unanimously.

adjourn. The motion carried.
