Amended: Gem Air Commercial Lease: Gem Air represented by Jo Schroeder and David
Schroeder reported back that they had not been able to secure parking. Options were discussed to
include parking near Hangar 104, parking in space leased by the Fire Dept, and space around
building 101. It was determined that the area around bldg. 101 could be used but would require
fencing. The airport engineer expressed doubt that the cost and time to relocate the airport gate
would make this a viable solution. Rick Fereday made a motion that any approval of fencing be at
Gem Air's expense. Motion was lost in discussion with no second. Discussion was had about
City Code requirements for fencing. Gem Air requested AAC provide conditional approval of
the lease pending parking solution and submission of the package at the Apri125th meeting. Mr.
Scherer expressed reservations to meeting that due projected absence from the City. After
badgering by the AAC Mr. Scherer acquiesced stating that Gem Air needed to provide the
additional information on City Code with in days (paraphrase). Motion to approve a Gem Air
lease contingent upon parking approval was made by Mike Weiss, seconded by Mark Thorien
and passed unanimously.
Code Revision- Airport Zoning Update: The GIS department was plotting the FAA and Idaho
Transportation Zones and they will be assessed for utility and to determine acceptable uses
underlying the depicted zones.
Triangle Hangars: The excessive snow this year has driven the need to reassess the parking
configuration of the triangle plan. It is envisioned that more space is needed next to E taxiway
forcing relocation of the easternmost hangars. It is believed the space previously reserved for a
large hangar could accommodate of those who were approved from the hangar waiting list.
Highway 55 Gate Opener: Mr. Scherer requested AAC input on three types of technology to
make entering the Highway 55 gate more convenient. Options were garage door opener, cell
phone opener and RFED openers. It was also discussed that the pedestal could be relocated.
