Members present were Fereday, Anderson, Tucker, Saleen and Colburn. Guests: Kathy, MATCO Staff: Points Minutes of the June 4, 1997 were read and approved without any changes or additions. Chief Points updated the Committee on the AIP6 project. Roberson received the DBE status and called a special council meeting for Friday morning at 11:00 to give them a notice to proceed with schedule A and to recommend to the Council that they decline B, C and D and let us renegotiate with Suebert. By Roberson being a DBE now that will move about three people out of Suebert's last bid. Off the record, we have negotiate with Suebert about $80,000 off the original bid and maybe another $50,000. If Roberson does A and Subert does B,C & D at the a lower bid, we will be under the engineers estimate on all phases of the project. Within two years we should have all our money from the FAA. So far everything is coming along smoothly. A will be done this year and B,C & D will be done in the Spring. STAFF REPORTS: Chief Points informed the Committee that the ASOS is complete. It has been operational for about 14 days. they have been monitoring it and it should be commissioned on September 15th. Wayne Pickerall has talked to the FAA about beginning the process to remove the old AWOS as soon as the ASOS is commissioned. Tucker asked if there was anyway we could keep the same frequency. Chief Points informed the Committee that the weed spraying is all done. Chief Points informed the Committee that the local retailer has paint for 34 in stock, so maybe now we can get that project done. Dale was going to do it, but he probably won't get it done since this is his last day as Airport Manager. He informed the Committee that he turned in his resignation to Gary a couple of weeks ago. Gary will be acting Airport manager until he leaves in 30 days. OLD BUSINESS: Chief Points and the Committee discussed the problem of long term parking. Dale has spoken to the engineers and it is not a problem to put a berm along the property line. Before we do, we need to speak to Si Bueno to see if they want to lease the outside strip for customer parking, Rod has shown an interest in this before. We would then put the berm behind that area to separate the parking. Then we could have one entrance and be able to control the long term parking. Tucker suggested that we charge two different rates. One rate, like $7.50 per month, for parking by the boat trailers and another rate, like $10.00 per month, for parking in area by Mccall Air Taxi which will be locked and monitored. That way people have a choice. Chief Points informed the Committee that the FY98 income for the Airport is $80,776 also there is a new line item on the budget for expenses which is Professional Services. This is for City Manager, City Treasurer and City Attorney. NEW BUSINESS: Tucker asked Dale if the property north of Deinhard which belongs to the City would be available for training purposes by the National Guard the weekend of September 20th. The Idaho Aviation Association is having their annual meeting here and part of the meeting included a survival course for the pilots. Dale informed him that if that area is not available due to construction, there are other areas that belong to the City that can be used. Anderson informed the Committee that Tom Wooten has purchased his hangar and he needs to assign the lease to Wooten. Tucker made a motion to recommend this assignment to the City Council. The vote was unanimous. Anderson also has made an agreement with Rod Neilson to assume the lease on his property. Tucker made a motion to approve this assignment also. The vote was unanimous. Chief Points brought up the fact that he still has not received anything on the assignments from McCall Air Taxi and Pioneer. Technically both leases are in default. Kathy asked if she could take a run at this and that doesn't work, we will have the City Attorney write a letter. This has been going on for over a year. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:37 p.m. Rick Fereday Chairman
