Board Reporter ,
The Chair called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m. at City Hall.
To provide continuity for r~search, it,ems are in agenda order although not
necessarily ~iscu9sed in that order.
ITEM 2 - Aoril 3. 2002 Minutes Aporoval
Member Miller moved to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of April
3, 2002, as submitted in written summation to each board member. The motion
was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
ITEM 3 -' Tenant & Lease Report from FBO
David King,' FBD (Fixed Based Operator), reported the same number of
tied owns and hangars as last month. Fuel prices were lowered this month. The
'fllght,school generated over $30,000 in new sales over the last 5 days. Mr. King is
purchasing a new helicopter for instructional purposes. In response to a question,
, Mr. King' said he ,provides monthly updates of people interested in hangars to
Airpark Operations Manager Gordon Wills. He said fuel sales generate the highest
, revenue for the Airpark. Hopes are to move smaller planes into new hangars in
'order to lease the corporate hangars to owners of larger planes.
In response to a question, Mr. King said helicopters at the Airpark fly at 600
feet instead of 1,000 feet and take off and land over taxiways. Although there is
no formal flight pattern, helicopter pilots fly 100 feet to the'left of any planes taking
off and landing during helicopter training. It was remarked that only one complaint
. was received regarding helicopters flying tight auto rotations. Mr. King said he
would' be happy to establish a flight pattern for helicopter pilots. Marine and
Aviation Director Bill Morris said it is standard practice for helicopte'rs to take off
land on taxiways. He felt it would be prudent for helicopters performing auto
rotations to do so o'ver the industrial park area of the Airpark to reduce th9 amount
of noise to neighbors.

ITEM 4 - Other Business
Mr. WiII~ said PBS&J (Post, Buckley, Shuh and Jer'nigan) is on track with the
, scope'for, the Airpark; He anticipates pormits would be in place by the end of July
for construction of the corporate hangars. A verbal update from the Engineering
. , Department indicates that readings from the fuel spill that occurred 6 - 8 months
ago near the gas pumps came back in the satisfactory range. Mr. Wills said the
200-foot extension on the south end of the Airpark would go out for bid within the
next few months. Funds were received yesterday for security enhancements at the
Airpark for security cameras, fence updates, card readers, etc. Only 900 feet of
the fe~ce needs to be moved. Plans are to have the ser::urity system operable and
the fence repair complete by Ap'ril 20, 2002.
Mr'. .WilIs said the Civil Air Patrol will particjpate in the Airpark Open House
. activities. The ,newly installed security system will be set up in the Airpark bui,lding.
Mr. King said a ,volunteer vocal group would sing 'at the Open House. He is
still 'working towards finding a plane for skydiving activities. He is offering reduced
, rate helicopter rides.
Klaus Palinkas, HNTB Corporation, said his firm's architects developed a
preliminary construction schedule to be followed upon receipt of SWFWMD
(Southwest Florida Water Management District) permits for hangars and the other
improvements at the Airpark. He said it generally takes 9 months to' complete
geotechnical investigations, schematic design review and approval, developmental
review and approval, preparati,on of construction documents, etc. Some items must.
be done' before others, and to try to speed up the process could become costly.
, '
Chair Nixon said she wrote a letter to the editor of the St. Petersburg Times
regarding an article they reported about Albert Whitted airport. She will share' it
with Mr. Wills.
ITEM 5 - Aqenda for Next meetinq Mav 1. 2002,
