Public Comment- There was no public comment 3. Runway Closeout Update- Kevin Bissell discussed the punch list items that remained to be completed and the pay application process and that the project came in under the contract amount by over $240,000 as a result of under running on some pay items and issues with meeting some specifications. 4. Land Acquisition Discussion-John and Kevin discussed the land acquisition process. The FONSI will allow us to purchase 16.07 acres of land for the taxiway move. This is adequate land to move to the 400’ separation but the FONSI stipulates that we will move the taxiway 300’. The additional land will allow for possible future increase in aircraft type. Additional “development land” will be considered as FAA has encouraged McCall to purchase this land and has set aside discretionary funding. With the change in budget climate, it is unclear if FAA will still be willing to fund the “development land” in the short run. It was discussed that FAA normally expects this process to take about 18 months, although it could be less if the land owners are agreeable. John will brief City Council on land acquisition on November 17. Kevin and John will arrange to do Airport Advisory Committee Minutes November 3, 2011 Page 1 of 2 a “pre-design” meeting via telephone with FAA in the next several weeks to discuss this project. After this is completed, T-O will prepare a scope of work and contract. 5. SRE Building Update-Numerous submittals have been reviewed and either approved or revised for approval. Building calculations were completed and approval of the building and building permit is expected in November. 6. NDB Decommissioning- Now that the departure procedure is complete, the NDB will be decommissioned. 7. Hangar 106A Lease Transfer- Mike Dorris selling to Don Betzold.
