The Chair called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m. at City Hall.
To provide continuity for research, items are in agenda order although not,
necessarily discussed in that order.
ITEM #2 - Minutes Approval
As Chair Roper had not received an agenda pack, consensus was to move this item
to the end of the meeting to allow him opportunity to read the minutes. At the conclusion
of busines~, Member Nixon moved to approve the minutes of the reg~lar meeting of August
1 , '2001, as submitted in written summation to each board member. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.
, ITEM #3 - Tenant Report/FBO'
David King, FBO (Fixed Base Operator), reported no change from his June report on
, Airpark occupancy: 1) 27 T-hangars; 2) 40 shade hangars (plus J8, not owned by Airpark);
3) 49 hard-stands (43 rentals/6 school planes); 4) 32 grass-stands (23 rentals/9 school
planes);' and, 5) 3 helipads (one closed). Mr. King expressed satisfaction ~ith the new
grounds maintenance company, and said painting and landscaping are nearing completion.
The shade hangars are, nearly finished.
Mr. King reported an estimated 20- to 3D-gallon fuel splll had occurred while a new
employee was filling the main tank. The tank was left unattended during the two-hour
filling process. It was discovered the' fill nozzle lacks an automatic shutoff me~hanism.
City environmental management is investigating the spill. City staff is retraining airpark
employees regarding safety procedures. New airpark training procedures will be instituted
, '
and repeated every 30 days.
, Questions were raised regarding status and prioritization of the hangar waiting list.
, Ii: was indicated Airpark Operations Manager Gordon Wills keeps the list, which currently
, ,contains 35 names. Deposits have been paid for 20 hangars.

In response to questions, Mr. Wills stated a hangar rent increase is expected with
the next CPI (Consumer Price Index) increase, and the City would not have discretion
regarding the increase. One member expressed concern with putting master plan funding
on the backs of the customer, fearing rents will become cost prohibitive. It was indicated
Vanderberg and Zephyrhills are not losing money by holding the line at $235 plus tax, in
order to fill their anticipated new hangars quickly. Discussion ensued regarding timing for
obtaining SWFWMD (Southwest Florida Water Management Districtf approvals before using
FOOT funds for corporate hangar construction. Prospective corporate tenants were
discussed. While corporate hangar construction is not scheduled for this year, staff was
urged to prepare to proceed immediately after SWFWMD approval is received. Staff was
requested to alert the Airport ,Authority when the contract with PBS&J (Post, Buckley,
Shuh and Jernigan, Inc.) is placed on the City Commission agenda.
A question was raised, and general discussion ensued regarding the possibility of
marking the new front entrance with an aviation-themed object more distinctive than a
sign. A commemorative statue or some kind of unique aircraft were suggested. It was
indicated the military would likely don ante an old aircraft, but shipping and reassembly
~osts could be problematic and the amount of open space near the FBD biulding would
need to be determined. Assistant City Attorney John Carassas noted that three-
dimensional sign code issues would have to be addressed.

In response to a question regarding the taxi lane radii discussed at the last meeting,
l
Mr. Wills stated the filled-in corners are a temporary fix until the final repaving is done.
, " Concern was expressed with airplanes cutting through the open space. Discussion
ensued regarding the possibility of converting open space to single-engine tie downs. '
Mr. Wills reported the first shade hangars are to be started tomorrow, and will have
their certificate of occupancy once the berm landscaping is finished.
, Discussion ensued regarding the issue of removing Ed Slattery's hangar from its
current location. In response to Mr. Slattery's request, the City extended the deadline to
October 31, 2001. It was indicated Mr. Slattery is willing to donate the hangar'for use as
the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) clubhouse. Concerns were expressed
regarding suitability of the building for this use, and whether an appropriate location can be ,
found on the airpark property. Marine & Aviation ,Department Director, William Morris,
stated staff is studying the issue of relocating the building, giving consideration to Master
Plan requirements, the building's size, and aesthetics.
Mr. Morris left the meeting at 3:30 p.m.
~~
It was Indicated the EAA needs hangar space for meetings and development of
ongoi~g projects. It was questioned whether the EAA could be charged a special rental
rate, given their purpose and history at the airpark. Mr. King suggested a meeting at the
airpark to study this issue at length and draft a plan. He stated he. would be willing to
forego rent to find a suitable home for the EAA, in view o'f their value to the community's
chHdren~ A majority of members favored this suggestion.
