Airport Improvement Project-update
Project is coming along with no problems at this time. We are on budget and on
time. In two weeks time we should be all done. They are installing the runway signs and.
the taxiway signs this week.Nothing else to report with regards to the project at this time.
Site Plan for developing corporate hangar lot
Ron and Canon Braatz are from Bend, Oregon, and would like to share their plan
with the AAC about developing the corporate hangar lots at the airport.
Canon explained that they have built hangars for a living and that they have done
this exact project in Bend, Oregon, & would like to build a condominium of
hangars in that area, and was interested in hearing from the committee on their
concerns. Canon also stated that if the Advisory Committee approved of his plan
that they would continue their research and develop a more solid site plan with the
Airport Manager. They would then come back and address any other concerns
that the committee had at that time.
The Airport Advisory Committee's concerns were:
• Would like to see references from the Braatz's to insure quality of
work.
• The Sewer system for the airport was not in place yet and having to
many septic tanks might become a health inspector problem.
• What would these hangars do to snow plowing and storage.
• How big would they be, and the appearance of these condominium
hangars.
Action
Approve the concept of condominium hangars in that area and allow Ron
and Canon Braatz to continue their research and develop a more solid site plan
with the Airport Manager that addresses the above concerns or any other concern
that may arise. At that time, come back and address the committee.
McCall, Art & Humanities public art proposal
Jenny Keiser from Arts& Humanities, spoke to the committee about the proposed
art project for the city's "Four Corners Project". This art project will be aviation in
theme and be placed on the airport's corner. The art project is in its beginning
stage and will take a year to complete. In the meantime the Art& Humanities
council would like to have a representative from the AAC, along with the Airport
Manager on the board of judges to be part of the decision making process, and
help judge the final piece of art that will be placed on the corner.
Action
The AAC was very pleased and excited about the idea. The AAC
nominated Jerry McCauley to act as the AAC representative.They asked him to keep
the committee up to date on the progress of the project.
Airport Emergency Plan
The airport manager explained that the current Airport Emergency Plan was out of date
and needed to be updated. He stated that he would work closely with the fire marshal to
arrive at a new and more appropriate emergency plan for McCall Municipal Airport.
Small Community Air Service Grant
The Airport Manager explained that the Federal government offered this grant last year
and it helps small airports gain or increase their air service. The Airport Manager expressed the
value of looking into this agreement to see if this grant opportunity can help McCall. He asked for
the help of the AAC to read the Grant agreement and come up with creative solutions that fit the
criteria of the grant application.

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"

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. The
airport manager explained the proposed project and different options that could be taken to
decrease the time that the Runway would be closed. 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.
The Airport Manager explained the significant changes that appeared in the ruff draft of the
2002-2003 budget. He also explained that this was a working budget and that there will be a
lot of changes. The Airport Manager also said that if the AAC had any concerns and ideas of
things that they like or would like to change that he would be open to suggestions.
Updated Capital Improvement
The Airport Manager explained to the AAC that Armstrong Consultants would like to come
and speak to you all about the future Capital Improvement plans for the airport.
Unfortunately Armstrong will be unable to make it to our usually time (April 3). The next
meeting is undetermined until I hear form Armstrong.

Sewer Project Cost Estimate." He also went into detail of where the sewer pipes
were to be laid and the estimated cost for each of the three projects that would need
to take place to complete the South End Sewer Project. 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.
