Home My Public Portal AboutAAC Minutes 1998 02/11CITY OF MCCALL AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE MINUTES FEBRUARY 11, 1998 The meeting was called to order at 12:03 p.m. in the conference room of Toothman-Orton Engineering ar their McCall Municipal Airport Office. Chairman Rick Fereday, and members Tom Tucker, Mike Anderson, Gordon Colburn were present, as well as Gene Heikkola, Municipal Airport Manager; Brian Olson, City Manager; Jackie Fields, City Engineer; Mike Dorris, McCall Air Taxi; Jim Fronk and Kevin Bissell of Toothman-Orton. Old Business: Minutes of the previous two meetings, November 5 and 13 were approved after which, Kevin Bissell presented an review and status update on AIP-06 which is still in Schedule A and on hold until spring. Schedules B,C, and D have been awarded to Seubert Excavators and is scheduled for completion this summer. Tom Tucker expressed concern that we waste no time giving the contractor enough notice so that construction will start early enough to be completed on time. Kevin then briefly addressed AIP-07, the runway light replacement project, but stated that no figures have been derived at this time and promised to come back to this subject in conjunction with an overview of the consultant selection process. Toothman-Orton is at the end of their 5- year selection period, but the City has the option to forgo the selection process, if they are satisfied with the present arrangement. The next item on the agenda was the Airport Sewer Project, at which time the chair recognized City Manager Brain Olson, who presented the figures representing the City's fiscal dilemma regarding this project, which amounted to a $175,000 shortfall in funds ($300,000 set aside for the project versus a $475,000 completion cost). The City's sewer connection rate has remained at $750 since 1964 whereas the county has been charging $2,000 for the last 5 years. Therefore, he felt that raising it to $2,500 was not unreasonable, and the City Engineer supported his position that even at that rate it does not reflect the true cost to the City. Their combined position was that the project needs a minimum of 40 hook-ups on the airport, which together with others will help close the funding gap. The general airport position, expressed by Mike Anderson and Tom Tucker was that the airport hangars are equivalent to garages and most do not have bathroom facilties, nor do a lot of hangar lessees desire to have one. If the City is going to require sewer hook-ups in the hangars, it would be equivalent to requiring every garage in the city to have a bathroom. Tom Tucker also brought up the point that excavating under the floors of existing hangars to retrofit sewer connection would be horrendously expensive. Brian suggested that maybe we could find RC&D money from Valley County to help fund the project at which time, Tom Tucker and Gordon Colburn volunteered and the chair appointed them to explore the contacts they have available. Brian said he needs a proposal from the Airport Committee. The topic then turned to financing options for connection fees, if indeed airport hangar lessees are required to hook-up. Mike Anderson proposed the idea that the connection fee be spread out and included in the lease payment. Brian was responsive to that idea and addressed the idea of a "sure connection date". The next item on the agenda was hangar numbering, at which time the Airport Manager, Gene Heikkola, presented a comparison of the previous manager's proposal and his own. Tom Tucker moved that the Committee adopt the new proposal, Mike Anderson seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. The Airport Manager was further instructed to locate the necessary signage materials (6in. plastic numbers were discussed) and each hangar lessee would be instructed where to obtain same so that the numbering would be standardized. The question was posed whether the City or the leaseholder should be responsible for the cost and was generally agreed that it is equivalent to putting house numbers on your house. The City tells you you have to, but the individual homeowner is responsible for the cost, which is very minimal anyway. The new Airport Master Plan was discussed. If the City adopts the new master plan, it would then be sent to Seattle for Jerry Trujillo's review, but does not affect the City's decision to adopt. If it is adopted, we need to go through the consultant selection process and move on. If it is not adopted, there is no need. T-O charges $2500 for the preapplication paperwork, which is 90% "refundable" in that it may be included in the first reimbusement, and the City would end up paying only 5%. The only drawback is that the City would have to "front" the money initially. At that point, the discussion turned to the possibility of including the relocation of the electrical vault, attached to the dog pound building, which is an obstruction in the runway Object Free Area. Kevin mentioned that the last time Jerry Trujillo visited here, he noticed it and objected to its presence there. He suggested that the City contact Jerry Trujillo and see how he feels about ammending AIP-06 to include its relocation. Brian also suggested that there might be the possibility of a private enterprise taking over the dog pound business. The next item on the agenda was assignment and assumption of four airport leases. These included the assignment of Lot 3A/B back to Tom Wooten; the assignment of Lot 1C from Rod Neilsen to Mike Anderson; the assignment of Evergreen Forest Products (Robert Hitchcock) third of the McCall Air Taxi building back to Mike Dorris; and the lease deal that Pioneer Aviation cut with McCall Air Taxi on the fuel island and associated equipment. Discussion ensued concerning an underground tank that exists in the former Evergreen corner of McCall Air Taxi's hangar. Mike Dorris stated that it has to be out of the ground by December and that Mr Hitchcock is retaining posession and responsibility for its removal. The language of the lease assumption was reviewed and verified to contain such provisions. Tom Tucker moved to approve the lease assignments and assumptions, Mike Anderson seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. Parking on the general aviation ramp was discussed at the request of the new Airport Manager to verify what the Committee's pleasure is. It was generally agreed that if a person pays for a tie- down and/or clears the snow, he should be allowed to park a vehicle there to reserve that spot for his return. The topic of discussion then turned to the parking lot at the corner of Hwy 55 and Deinhard Lane, next to McCall Air Taxi. The chairman posed the question as to how long the committee had been trying to accomplish something regarding that lot and the answer was about 5 years. It was proposed that the Airport Manger investigate who the cars belong to, the possibility of separating long-term and short-term parking areas, and instituting fees for long-term parking. Tom Tucker suggested $10 or $15 per month. Two possible locations for long-term parking were discussed - the present Citizen's telephone pole storage area south of the DEW Aircraft hangar, and the area immediately adjacent to the Airport Manager's office (between the office and north taxiway) At that point, Mike Dorris brought up the issue of the drainage problem in the present parking lot and stated that it used to drain down Deinhard until it was paved. Then when Doug Manchester built his hangar immediately west of the parking lot, he was requested to provide a drain and pave it, but apparently his plans were changed and although the drain is in, his pavement avoids that area. Mike Dorris stated that this area becomes a lake in springtime and wondered if the City couldn't pave it. New Business: Mike Dorris presented his proposal for a new "Card -Lock" 3,000 gallon fuel storage tank and dispensing unit to be installed 40 feet west of the present fuel storage tank area containment wall. That places it 50 feet from the nearest fuel storage tank in order to comply with fire code; however, some impact on taxiway clearance was indicated. The Airport Manager was tasked to research this issue. It being then 1:55 p.m., the meeting was adjourned.

UFT STA. �r NOT FOR CONSTRUCT DRAM 1998 EPA 319 grant proposal Cascade Reservoir Status Report as of February 8,1998 Project: The City of McCall has been approached by a developer in Drainage Basin 13. Drainage Basin 13 is dominated by commercial and industrial use has theoretical ultimate loads that are significantly greater than Drainage Basin 5. Currently, the property acts as a retensions basin for 22 acres. The highway effectively prevents floows from reaching the Payette River. The developer is entitled to pass all water from adjacent properties through a culvert in Highway 55. The developer will construct roads, landscaping and, hopefully, a retension basin this summer. We have an opportunity to effectively treat 22 acres in Basin 13. If all parties agree that this is a truly fine and acceptable opportunity, then this project will be substitued for Basin 5 improvements. Funding: EPA $71,000 McCall $47,400 Total: $1 18,400 Status: EPA 319 funding for a project entitled City of McCall Basin 5 Stormwater Improvement is approved and contracts are being developed.
