Public Comment Dwaine Smith entered a comment, • "Pilots should not be turning each other in to the FAA for any violations. Rather the pilots that see or have concerns with other pilots should talk with the other pilot first, or the Airport Manager and try to resolve the problem with out going to the FAA" • "If you plow one hangar plow them all" • "Tom Meckel has done a good job, but the Airport did not sign on to become a gravel pit,and should not be hauling dirt into the airport." Mike Doris enter a comment, • "If we are talking about 9/11 then I should point out that Lori MacNichol, said that she would turn us (McCall Air Taxi) in to the FAA if we took off. And that McCall Air Taxi lost a lot of business on 9/11 and the days to follow to their competitors." • "I also think that Lori is a conflict of interests on the AAC" Business Review of AIP # 3-16-0023-08, "Engineer's Design Report" The proposed Runway closer is for May 15 -June 15 to complete the AIP project.

He also explained that the proposed plan is the most inexpensive way to get the job done. Discussion started about the length of time it would take to complete the project. The AAC felt that was a long time to close a Runway for this project. The Airport manager explained that the dates were not final, and this was an estimate the dates could be shorter or even longer. We would not know the true length of this project until we have our bids back from the contractors. Review of first draft of 2003 Budget.

Discussion transpired and a few questions came from it. Which way does the water flow?Does this project need to be done all together or can it be broken into different phases?The answers were unknown at this time of the meeting, and an action was made for the Airport Manager to fmd the answers out and inform the committee. Action: To find the answers to the above questions, and to bring any more or new gathered information to the next AAC meeting. Open Discussion • NDB, what had happened to it? (Why was it out of services) The contract had been changed form the FAA to AMSI and during the change of contract the initial check showed a faulty part that needed to be changed (the part could make the NDB approach inaccurate, and if an accident occurred the city would have been liable). All of the documentation of the NDB (log, manual, etc.) was with the old contractor. Due to those reason the NDB was taken off line until the records and parts were fixed. (NDB was back up and running Feb. 7th it was out for two weeks.) • AIP, Gordon expressed concern about the procedure used during the "Scope of Work" Why the airport used URS as their independent contractor rather than some one else was of concern. The Airport Manager explained that the FAA requires an independent contract to review the scope of work,to maintain the integrity of the project also to ensure the best deal for the FAA and the airport. So the Airport was required to do this independent study to ensure the federal funding. As for why the Airport manager chose URS over any other company, it was a personal choice because they were interested in becoming the airport main consultant a few years ago and the Airport Manager wanted to become a little bit more familiar with their company in • Airport Two-way plow: The belief is that the airport owns a two-way plow and it was purchased within the last five years, why are we not using it? The airport manager was not familiar with this plow and would look into it and find out where it was and what condition it was in. Executive Session No notes were taken. Adiournment The motion was made to adjourn at 01:45 it was seconded and the motion was carried. 2/ hair ./ Secretary r I CITY OF MC CALL AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE January 9, 20012, Call To Order And Members Present Lori MacNichol called the meeting to order at 12:15 PM.
