Staff: Points
Minutes of the December 4, 1996 were read and approved without
any changes or additions.
STAFF REPORTS:
Chief Points informed the Committee that the reimburseable
agreement was finally completed, with proper signatures, etc.
Chief Points informed the Committee that we have our engineers
estimate from T-0 and we also had the independent review from
Earth Tech. There was some disagreements as far as the price
between the two. So Dale took the independent estimate and went
through it hour by hour. They projected that the project would
take 35 days to complete. Dale spoke to them about the time
frame and a few addition errors, so they ended up coming up in
price and after he told T-0 they were way to high, they came down
in price. After all this, they were only a few thousand dollars
difference. We now have a signed engineering agreement in the
mail with T-0.
Chief Points informed the Committee that he finally received some
answers from all three appraisal companies he sent letters to.
Knipe and Knipe is $2,950 for the appraisal and the review fee is
$100 per hour. Mountain States Appraisal gave us a figure of
$3,500 for the appraisal and did not mention the review. Robert
Smith gave us a figure of $4,500 for the appraisal and stated he
will not do a review appraisal. Dale suggested that if Corlette
were around $100 per hour for the review, we give Knipe and Knipe
the appraisal and Corlette the review. Gordon made a motion for
Dale to negotiate appraisal, Tucker seconded and vote was
unanimously in favor. We have to have this appraisal before we
can negotiate with the owners according to the FAA. Chief Points
has been talking to Cheney about this property because he has it
listed.
OLD BUSINESS:
Chief Points updated the Committee on AIP 6. The T-0 engineers
are waiting for a signed contract, which Jim mailed out Monday.
They have done some tentative drawings on the by-pass and have
done some negotiations on where they are going to intersect so
the it flows with the rerouting. This lead into some discussion
on the project.
Chief Points informed the Committee that he had spoken to Carl
about getting a figure on the 3 phased power. Due to all the
weather we have had, he has been alittle busy, so this has been
delayed alittle.
Chief Points brought up another item that is not on the agenda.
He informed the Committee that one of the reil lights went out.
It appears to have gotten water in it. They are up here fixing
it right now. Also the runway lights are fixed again. This lead
into a discussion on the number of times the runway lights have
gone out and what we can do about fixing them permanently.
Fixing the runway lights should be included in our next project.
The question was brought up as to how Rickerson is doing. He is
still waiting for Mr. Henderson, who has had auditors, been sick,
went away for Christmas, and then sick again. Chief Points has
spoken to Henderson about getting these figures together.
Another question was brought up as to whether our City Attorney
has refreshed him memory about our avigation easements. Chief
Points stated that he now vaguely remembers something about this
and after the Holidays he is going to look into it.
NEW BUSINESS:
Chief Points had sent out letters to everyone asking them to
bring ideas to the meeting regarding the State Grant for the next
five years. This will be discussed after the meeting and they
will make a list.
Other new business was brought up regarding the parking lot at
the airport. The Committee agreed it was time to get started on
restricting access to the parking lot and getting some
organization to it. After much discussion on this subject, it
was decided that Chief Points should talk to the engineers and
have them lay something out.
Tucker brought up the subject that Boyd Miller is writing a
column for the Idaho Aviation Association for their monthly
publication and the subject is how well the FBO's did during our
problem after New Years. He is also sending it to a couple of
magazines. He has spoken to Tom Grote and feels Grote should
write an article on this subject because it would be a good
opportunity to show the community how important the airport is to
the City of McCall. Chief Points has already spoken to both
newspapers.
Anderson brought up the subject of the plowing problems we are
having with the City. After much discussion it was decided that
we need to make a map for the plow drivers. There are Advisory
Circulars available for aiports without operating control towers
and it was the opinion of the Committee that we should get them.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at
1:35.
