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.
, "TEM, #2 - Aporoval of Minutes
In refe'rence to page 3, paragraph 6, last sentence, it was recommended the
sentence read, II . . . he is working to obtain financing . . ."
Member ,Benjamin moved to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of May 1,
2002, as amended. The motion was duty seconded and carried unanimously.
. .
ITEM #3 - Tenant Report/FBO
. .
David King~ FBD (Fixed Base Operator), said four refurbished hard stands have been
installed. All planes from the former Suncoast Flying School have been purchas'ed. Cabie
,television advertising for the flight school is planned. A sprinkler system h'as bAsn installed'
around the terminal. Mr. King is working on a policy related to issuing cards for the
facility's security system. He will re'port onthe policy next month.
Mr. King said the helicopter school has not opened and he cannot estimate an
anticipated number of students. As helicopter training at the Airpark has occurred for
many years, he did not anticipate neighbor complaints will result. Klaus Palinkas, of HNTB,
,said the Airpark Master Plan anticipated four helicopters on site, with 2,200 operations
annually., tie said ,that use seems to be on target.
ITEM #4 - Review Airpark Ooeratiria Rules and Reaulations
M':. King presented an aerial view of the At'rpark ~nd recommended the h'ellcopter
, pattern be similar to the airplane flight pattern but tighter and closer, maintaining at laost
400 feet,of separation. Discussion ensued regarding current rules, which requiro'
helicopters and airplanes to follow the same flight pattern.

ConsenSlls was that the flight pattern for helicopter flights referenced by the rule is
unsafe a'nd ,should be changed.
, Staff wlll 'distribute Mr. King's proposed pattern prior to the next meeting. In
response to a question, Mr. King said airplanes make up more than 90% of Airpark traffic.'
Marine & 'Aviation Department Director BIll Morris requested board members review current
operating rules and regulations and forward comments to him. The board will discuss
changes at a future meeting.
Mr. King reported a petition is being distributed to extend Airpark hours. He does
not support the request.
Mr. King said a tenant has indicated a desire to fly a very loud plane out of the
Airpark and expressed concern nearby residents will complain. Assistant City Attorney
John Carassas will discuss issues related to the lease with Mr. Morris. Mr. King said he
wants to be' able to prohibit undesirable airplanes from leasing space at the Airpark.
ITEM #5 - Other Business
Mr. M~rris said the Airpark fence has been relocated and is the' correct distance
from the runway. Brush was removed from the fence area, affording a clear view of the
golf course.
Mr. Morris said a Knox Box will be installed to allow fire rescue to bypass the
security ga,te system
, Mr. Morris reported the RFP (Request for Proposals) for the runway extension was
,releas'ed,today. The project is 'fully funded. The Engineering Department is working on
specifications for the corporate hangars before SWFWMD (Southwest Florida Water
Management District) drainage permits are approved. In response to a question, Mr.
Palinkas said normal procedure is to establish a completion date when contracting for
permitting assistance. However, the PBS&J (Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, Inc.)
project manager overseeing this project has left the firm. Staff is meeting with PBS&J. next,
week to establish a completion date. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in
.September.
Mr. Morris 'reported next year's Sun'N Fun 'at Lakeland is scheduled for April 2 - 8,
2003, and the City's Fun iN Sun is scheduled for April 19 - May 4, 2003. It was
recommended the Airpark's open house be scheduled so City Commissioners can attend
and not conflict with neighborhood days. It was recommended the media be contacted
early regarding the Astronaut's visit to next year',s open house. '
In response to a question, Mr. Morris said the Parks & Recreation Department
Master Plan does not propose any recreational activities for the Airpark property.
