MINUTES
March 4, 1998
The Airport Advisory Committee meeting was called to order in the Toothman-Orton office
conference room on the second floor of McCall Air Taxi's building at 12:04 p.m. Persons present
were Rick Fereday, Tom Tucker, Mike Anderson, Gordon Colburn, Merrill Saleen, Mike Donis,
City Manager Brian Olson, City Engineer Jackie Fields, Airport Manager Gene Heikkola,
Toothman-Orton Engineer Kevin Bissell, and visitors T.S. Remson, Hugh McNair, and Lyle
Senfieid.
Minutes of the February 4th meeting were approved as submitted.
Airport Manager, Gene Heikkola gave a report of the progress on the parking lot clean-up. In
summary, it consisted of 21 cars originally identified as "long-term", one of which had no license
plates. In the process of tagging that vehicle with a 48-hour notice and obtaining registration data
via McCall Police Dept., five of the cars were removed by owners within the first week, and one
the following week. Of the 15 remaining cars, two have registration stickers that expired two and
a half years ago. Letters were sent to the last known address according to the registration. One
came back undeliverable - this vehicle will be tagged when enough snow melts (it is presently
under about four feet of snow). No reply has been received on the other and it may suffer a
similar fate.
The next item on the agenda was the budget, which was handled in two phases. Gordon Colburn
gave a report on the meeting he had with Valley County official, Lee Heinrich, who provided
several options for funding the "Airport Sewer Project". One was an "RC&D" Grant thru Russ
Manwaring of the Dept. of Agriculture in Emmett. There will be a workshop concerning the
grant application process in McCall March 23rd thru 27th. Second was a Community
Development Block Grant managed by Jim Birdsall, whose card was given to City Manager,
Brian Olson. Third was a contact at BSU named David Patton who works under Jim Weatherby.
Two computer disks containing lists of grant resources was also given to Brian. Fourth was the
discussion of the County Airport Tax Levy, which is currently running at a very low figure of
0.000016383 on a total county valuation of $1,281,717,055, which nets us approximately
$12,000 per year. Raising the millage to just 0.00039 could generate another $50,000 which
could be earmarked for McCall with a vote of the Valley County Commissioners (3). A report
would have to be presented to the Commission prior to May in order to have funds available by
January, 1999.
City Manager, Brian Olson then presented the latest information obtained in the "Airport
Analysis" from the City accountants this morning, which did not seem very accurate to many that
were present and the report prepared by the Airport Manager was dismissed as irrelevant
although it was an attempt to simplify the "Revenue/Expenditure Report" for general
understanding, both of which are attached.
Brian stressed the need to revisit the lease rate structure, compare it to other destination airports
in the Northwest, and possibly charge a single rate for land and structures to simplify
bookkeeping. Mike Anderson objected to that arguing that the reason for the two -rate structure
is that the City leases some land in each parcel that is unbuildable (mainly setback requirements).
Brian suggested doing a concurrent budget analysis and lease rate study with the participation of
any or all of the Airport Advisory Committee. Gordon Colburn volunteered and gave his phone
number to Brian who emphasized that this needs to be done before April.
Rick interjected that the "charges for services" does not give sufficient detail, which was generally
agreed. Mike Anderson made the point that "balancing the books" probably won't happen, but
that the City's objective ought to be instead that of minimizing the losses and maximizing the
benefit to the City. Brian countered that he would like to improve the airport and provide and
ILS system, but needs funds to accomplish those goals. Hugh McNair stressed the overall impact
on tourism and retail sales if rates are increased. Lyle Senfield said the rates here are already high,
that we ought to compare our rates with other airports in the area like Boise, Nampa, Caldwell,
and Council, and that fuel already costs $2.18/gal. here. Scott Findlay favored lowering rates to
stimulate growth, pointed out differences on two aerial photos on the wall and stated that if rates
are raised we might as well cancel the sewer project and the south ("C") taxiway construction
because we won't need them. Rick proposed a "cost saving" strategy as opposed to a "revenue
increasing" strategy.
Next up was Jackie Fields who presented the runoff ditch proposal, which is intended to help
drain a 22 acre lot on the other side of Hwy 55. There were several options presented, but the
project is on hold for "Value Engineering" analysis.
The next item of business was the runway light project. Kevin Bissell reported that T-O charges
$2500 for the pre -application. He said what we need to do is present the proposal to the City
Council and have them approve the expenditure.
Meeting times were discussed since it had been requested by Charles Sunby for last month's
agenda. However, Mr. Sunby was not present, so Kevin filled in and stated that it really wasn't
necessary to change the meeting time for his convenience. Therefore, no action was taken on this
item.
Gene Heikkola presented a bid for hangar signs to implement the address plan adopted at last
month's meeting, after which some discussion followed concerning mounting the signs. Tom
Tucker moved, and Mike Anderson seconded that we contract with Perfect -A -Tech for the signs
and include a reasonable labor fee ($10 was suggested) to mount them in order to insure that the
signs end up mounted the way the Airport Manager intends. The motion carried unanimously.
Airport Landscaping was postponed since Cherry Woodbury was not present. The chairman then
invited open discussion of any topic that committee members wanted to address.
Tom Tucker brought up the topic of runway lights that Boise airport is replacing, making
them available to any airport that wants them. It was generally agreed that these would not be
sufficient for the new runway light project as no contractor would warrant them, but Mike
Anderson volunteered to go look at them to see if they would be something we could use for
other areas of the airport.
Kevin Bissell then brought up the issue of the new Airport Master Plan and some discussion
followed as to whether the City must adopt the Master Plan in order to get the FAA to sign -off on
future airport improvement projects. Since the City Council has changed significantly since the
process was begun to revise the Airport Master Plan, it would be interesting to see if the new
council members would vote to provide funds for the Capitol Improvement Plan. Gene Heikkola
offered to make copies of the new Airport Master Plan available to any interested party (one is
already in the Airport Manager's Office, and one has already be delivered to the City Manager).
Merrill Saleen said he could use two copies.
The meeting was then adjourned at 2:09 p.m.
