AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 7, 1996
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Tucker at 12:08 p.m.
in the conference room of the Toothman-Orton Engineering office
at the McCall Municipal airport.
Members present were Tucker, Anderson, Fereday, Saleen and
Colburn.
Staff: Points
Minutes of the January 3, 1996 meeting were discussed and
approved with one correction. Bill Dorris should be changed to
Pat Dorris.
Staff reports - Budget Report - Chairman Tucker stated that there
was always been a problem finding out how much money we have in
the bank. Chief Points showed the committee members the print
out he receives from the City every month, which is lengthy and
has everything on it. The Committee would like a print out with
operational monies available. It was suggested that we should
have an AIP account and an operating account and they should not
intermingle. It was also discussed, that it might be a good idea
for the committee members to learn to read this print out instead
approaching Jim about changing the format. Next month we will
get enough copies for everyone to look at. Gordon stated that he
will still discuss this with Jim and we will see what is the best
approach.
This lead into a discussion about County Taxes. Gordon has a
report from Harly on how much each hanger has paid in taxes this
year. From the print out, the total taxes to be billed for 1996
is $14,800, the amount budgeted is only $1,890.
Another topic of concern that Chief Points found is there isn't
any system for billing out lease payments or for reevaluating
leases. It was suggested that all leases be pro-rated and be due
at the end of each fiscal year. Chief Points is looking into all
these budget problems and it will be back on the agenda in March
or May. We need to have everything resolved by June or July so
we have a more accurate budget for next year. '
The committee members discussed the revised Airport Master Plan,
Chapter 3. Fereday had a comment on page 3-18 paragraph 3, which
states that four specific jets are based here, it should state
that they are co-based here. Also it was brought up that the
last paragraph on page 3-1 is not understandable and that the
Economic Section needs to be strengthened. Chairman Tucker will
bring these issues to Dave Rickerson's attention.
Dave will be up here the last week in March and Dale is to get us
on the City Council agenda for that week so Dave can make a short
presentation to the Council on our projects.
Chief Points informed the committee that he has information from
Chuck Sundby about upgrading our weather observation system. We
will start next week on preparing bid documents and have him look
them over. They will then be sent to our three sources and we
will advertise as required by law.
Chief Points received totally different ideas from both FBO's,
McCall Air Taxi and Pioneer Aviation, as to where they felt the
reserved and transit apron tie downs should be. We are going to
have to decide what is equal and fair. The committee made a few
changes to the original layout Chief Points made. He will draw
up a new layout and we will put out a bid to paint these as soon
as weather permits. They will be painted by row and space.
Chief Points was called away to a fire for a few minutes.
Hanger space inventory was discussed again because we finally got
the results of all the letters sent out. We now have 5 little
spaces available, except now Ballard Smith is not sure whether he
wants the space he picked out or two smaller ones. Dale is
suppose to get a firm answer from him by tomorrow morning. It
was discussed that if Ballard does not want the larger space to
call Flight Line who has shown an interest in that space. They
will have to put down a deposit and we'll negotiate details
later. Do to past performance we will require an on site manager
through all phases.
Chief Points spoke with Ratf. at the phone company, and they have
nothing in their budget through 1998 for facilities and that they
were not interested in making any facility changes that would
cost them. The Committee decided to pursue an appraisal on the
phone company property in our next budget year and put together
an inventory of City owned land that could be concidered
exchangeable with the phone company for their storage yard.
Chief Points informed the committee that Chuck Sundby is
preparing our AIP for resurfacing.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjorned at 1:25
p.m.
