AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MINUTES OF AUGUST 6, 1997
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Fereday at 12:00 p.m.
in the Toothman-Orton Conference Room above McCall Air Taxi.
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.
