Mayor Bailey moved to amend the Agenda to add the following: AB 10-198 Contract
Award for: Boydstun Lane Utility Improvement Project — To the Business Agenda and The
Warrant Register Printed on 9/8/10 to the Consent Agenda. The reason for the amendment
is that the information for the contract was not available until today, September 9, 2010
and a decision needs to be made prior to the next Council Meeting. Council Member
Kulesza seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Mayor Bailey, Council Member Kulesza,
Council Member Delaney, Council Member Scott, and Council Member Witte all voted aye
and the motion passed.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Bailey called for public comment at 6:17 p.m.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Bailey closed the public comment period.
BUSINESS AGENDA
AB 10-195 Revise Airport Rules and Regulations
John Anderson, Airport Manager, The Airport Advisory Committee forwarded the proposed
stated airport rules and regulations to replace the existing rules and regulations. The Council
worked through the presented changes to Title 8 Chapter 16 of the City Code.
Council Member Kulesza clarified that on page 8 of 11, under letter (J) it references the Master
Plan, and it should specify the "then current" Master Plan. There was a brief discussion as to
whether this clarification would be necessary. There was general consensus that the added
language would prevent any confusion in the future.
Council Member Kulesza stated that the first line under Landing Fees section (C) on page 9 of
11 was incorrect. After additional discussion it was clarified that the entire Landing Fees section
was intended to be stricken.
Council Member Witte pointed out some areas to be clarified:
• Page 2 of 11 under the letter (0) should be clarified to add "and any modifications" — Mr.
Nichols clarified that it would typically read "the code and ordinances of the City of
McCall from time to time amended"
• Page 2 of 11 under the letter (P) the statement "any vehicle except an aircraft which is
self-propelled" should be clarified to read "any self-propelled vehicle other than aircraft"
• Page 3 of 11 under Airport Rules General, the letter (E) states "Landing and Takeoff
Rules are voluntary, but pilots are highly encouraged to follow them to enhance the
aviation community's relations with the surrounding community." The text "these rules
to improve safety, reduce noise and congestion" were stricken however it was suggested
that they remain after the word "follow"

Council Member Witte asked for clarification as to the reference made to leases, that it is a lease
for commercial activities or is it for the physical space. Mr. Anderson explained that in this case
it refers to land leases, a commercial land lease. Council Member Witte was concerned with the
process that the land lease was transferrable but she did not think that the Commercial Business
License should also be transferrable. It was clarified that this issue was addressed in Part II of
the Minimum Standards. Council Member Witte stated for her understanding that anyone who
wants to take over a business at the airport would have to go through the whole process. It was
confirmed by Mr. Anderson that was the intention in Part II of the Minimum Standards.
Council Member Witte had a question as to why insurance requirements as well as other
requirements are different for Independent Operators and Fixed Based Operators. Mr. Anderson
explained that the Independent Operators are just an individual that are not well funded. So the
intention was to get something from the Independent Operators rather than nothing. They do not
have a land lease or any other ties to the City.
There was some discussion as the differences of the Independent Operators and Fixed Based
Operators and their insurance requirements. Mr. Nichols stated that there was a potential for two
different liabilities. One is allowing unregulated Independent Operators so that there is no way to
know what their background is or if they may need some kind of certification. If they are
allowed to do the work without any regulation there may be potential for liability. Mr. Nichols
also stated that by imposing regulations then it is incumbent that reasonable efforts are being
made to enforce those regulations.
Mayor Bailey moved to direct staff to develop a resolution to adopt the Revised Minimum
Standards, replacing Resolution No. 7-99. Council Member Delaney seconded the motion.
In a voice vote all member voted aye and the motion carried.
AB 10-196 Determine the process to be used to fill the Council vacancy
Council Member Kulesza announced his intention to resign from the City Council, effective
October 1, 2010. After a brief discussion it was determined that an ad would be placed in the
next two editions of the Star News stating that those interested should submit a letter of interest
and resume. Council also asked that an Email be sent to all committee members and an ad be
placed on the City Website. The deadline for submitting applications would be either September
30 or October 1, 2010.
AB 10-198 Contract Award for: Boydstun Lane Utility Improvement Project (Added
9.08.10)
Peter Borner, Public Works Director stated that the project will replace approximately 600 linear
feet of 4-inch cast iron water main with 8-inch PVC water main and extend sewer service for 200
linear feet south of Boydstun Lane/Hayes Street. It will include all appurtenances, relocating
existing water and sewer services and installing additional water and sewer services. The
completion of the Utility Improvement Project during the fall of 2010 will allow for future
paving of Boydstun Lane during the Summer/Fa11 2011. Because the cost of this project is less
than $75,000, informal bidding was conducted with local contractors.
