Staff: Points
Minutes of the Special Meeting on April 16, 1996 were read and
approved without any changes or additions.
Chief Points informed the Committee that part of the pictures of
AWOS did not turn out. He will take more pictures and get
together with Chuck Sunby. They will get packets together with
technical information and send them out to the four manufactures
of AWOS 3.
Chief Points showed the Committee a plat map of the recently
parcelled condo lots and indicated that 6 of the 8 lots were
spoken for.
The Committee went over the legal opinion that was issued by Ted
Burton, City Attorney, on FBO leases. According to FAA Circular
5190.6A, if space is available and not committed to another use
and a person was prepared to pay the price then it is a
indication that a need exists for an additional FBO. This lead
into a discussion on the G & S Aviation's proposal. A motion was
made and seconded to present this proposal to the City Council.
It is the concurrence of the Airport Committee that the proposal
meets all criteria established within the guidelines set forth by
the City's airport standards for FBO's in the proposed
categories.
The Committee was informed that a NOTAM had been issued for the
following Monday and Tuesday while the crane relocated the beacon
to the new pad between the Slaton and Fereday hangers and would
be wired and operational by Tuesday night, May 7th.
Chief Points informed the Committee that the City had sent an
offer to the City of Lewiston in regards to their old airport
crash truck and has not yet received a reply. It was discussed
that the west end of the old jumper ready room be partitioned off
and heated to house the ARFF if our offer is accepted.
The CAP agreement was discussed in regards to the storing of
records, radio's, etc., as well as adequate space for a command
post should a rescue operation be established at the airport. No
written agreement has yet been found. Chief Points has spoken to
Lynn Clark and Kermit Peterson, who are active members of the
local squadron and they were unable, at this time, to locate a
written agreement. Chief Points will continue to persue this
matter.
Kevin Bissell from Toothman-Orton presented to the Committee
several different layout options for additional hangar space
within the triangle area between the taxi ways. He said he would
reproduce the optional layouts on smaller paper and send them
back to the Committee for their evaluation.
Chief Points informed the Committee that the City is hosting an
informal meeting at Shore Lodge for all the volunteer advisory
committees of the City, which would address the duties and
expectations of these committees. Lunch will be provided by the
City.
Robert Hitchcock's proposal to lease hangar space in the newly
parceled portion of the airport with fuel on the property was
discussed at length. It was concluded, after reviewing the
information in FAA Circular 5190.6A, that if Mr. Hitchcock was
willing to meet the standards of Federal, State, and local
agencies in regards to the installation of above ground and under
ground fuel tanks for his personal use and operated only by
himself and his employees, approval of this application could not
be denied. The Committee instructed the Airport Manager to
indicate to Mr. Hitchcock that they would prefer that he not
install the facility and would appreciate it if he would attempt
to negotiate with one of the two existing FBO's for the purchase
of fuel for his aircraft.
The General Aviation Lease format was passed out to the Committee
members for them to review before the next meeting. We would
like their input for changes, additions, deletions, etc. of any
kind at the next meeting.
Chief Points informed the Committee of his discussions with
Dieuwke Spencer of Central District Health Office in regards to
continued installation of holding tanks at the airport. Their
concern is that the City would not move ahead with completion of
the sewer lines if they continue to approve holding tanks. Chief
Points was instructed to persue this matter and report back at
the next meeting.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at
2:20 pm.
