2002, as recorded and submitted in writh~n summ,ation to each board r:nember. The motion
was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Item #3 - Tenant & Lease Report from FBO
David King, FBO (Fixed Base Operator), reported no changes to tenant leases. He said
discussion is underway to locate an avionics shop above the office In the maintenance hangar.
,Currently"pilots must fly elsewhere for related services. Construction on the runway is
scheduled to begin next week.
In response to a question, Mr, King said obtaining information on the Citation has been
difficult, as the plane's owner has not returned telephone calls or e-mails. Tomorrow, he will e-
, mail board members the breakdown of resident versus non-resident tenants, and the
, 'perc,entage l?f City re~ldents on the wait-list.
Co"ncern was expressed that businesses may be run out of tenant hangars. Marine &
Aviation Department Director Bill Morris' reviewed several problem uses found by staff when
driving through the hangars. Security recordIngs also are available for review. Mr; King is
writing a tenant without an airplane in his assigned hangar, as required by Airpark leases, '
,adv!sing him he has 30 days to comply with his lease.

completed. Staff-is working on a JPA (Joint Project Agreement) with FDOT (Florida
Department of Transpo~ation) to design them. FOOT is Incre,asing their funding for the project.

~ As the Police Department no longer provides security guards, the 1.4 FTE guard
positions are now Marina employees. Mr. Morris will work to have the guards provided with
, police radios for quick response by police vehicles. He said the expense of guards is
worthwhile to Airpark neighbors and tenants.

Mr. Morris reported approximately 30% of the new security system cameras are not
working following lightening strikes. Insurance is repairing the cameras. The City is grounding
the 'old metal hangars, which previously acted as lightning magnets. Other City departments,
impressed with the Airpark's security system, are considering similar uses at other City
facilities.
Staff wlll forward information regarding Airpark grants to board members prior to the
next rneeting.
A timetable was requested for renogotiation of the FBO lease to include the new
, corporate hangars and planned administration building, Mr. Morris said Airpark staff relies on
the En'gineering Department, which determines its own prioritiest for engineering work related to
the corporate hangars. Specifications for the hangars have changed three times. Decisions
now are finalized regarding bathroom location and door heights. The hangars will be smaller '
than 12.500 square-feet so that sprinkler systems are not required. Sprinklers would increase
,construction costs significantly. Mr. Morris anticipated the bid process for hangar construction
, will begin before the end of 2002. The Engineering Department has determined the retention
area is sufficient to construct the hangars in the proposed location. Due to costs, staff has not
decided if parking near the entrance will be paved or feature a gravel surface. Mr., King
recommended providing paved parking for corporate customers as many drive nice vehicles.
In response to a question, Mr. Morris said the Engineering Deparment has information
regarding actions necessary for SWFWMD (Southwest Florida Water Management District)
approval. He said renegotiation of the FBO lease will require substantial prenegotiation
regarding the new main terminal. Mr. King said it is difficult to determine the amount of funding
available from FOOT for construction of the planned terminal. He suggested a 5-year rollover
lease could be renegoitated before remaining issues are finalized. It was stated the City
Commission must approve the terminal. regardless of the funding source. A timetable for these
actions was requested so target dates are established. It was stated much can be done before
the lease is renegotiated,
At this point, Mr. Morris had to excuse himself to attend an agenda meeting to have the
JPA Agenda I,tem approved.
. It was recommended these issues be discussed at the beginning of the meeting, before
Mr" Morris departs. Concern was expressed plans seem to change from month to month. It
was felt a timetable. or all~lncluslve plan, Is necessary to establish benchmarks and deadlines.
and chart what needs to be done and what needs to be approved1 so progress can be tracked.
It was stated the timetable can be modified as things change. It was stated the Airport
Authority Is responsible Jor establishing timetables as part of the City's overall planning process.
, Concern was expressed the Airport Authority Is provided information after the fact and not told
what Is going on. Concern was expressed delays on the corporate hangars were blamed on
SWFWMD and now staff reports that SWFWMD issues are not a problem. Discussion ensued

regarding Phase I of the Master Plan and'delays related to the expiration of a grant and Klaus
Palinkas' change of employment.' It was felt Engineering work on the hangars could have been
done 6 months ago. It was stated that no Information had been provided the Airport Authority
on why renegotiation of the lease cannot start now, as the process will take months. It was felt
the process should start now. ' '
Mr. King said the terminal project is waiting for SWFWMD retention guidelines and ,
, ' funding information. It was noted the Master Plan does not specify which year certain projects
, ' will occur. Mr, King saId FOOT funding could range from 50% to 80% of project costs.
, Concern was expressed a future Airport Authority board or City Commission may have dIfferent
, priorities and not support the master plan. Mr. King supported moving ahead quickly on the
, terminal building while, FOOT funds are available for the project. He said the terminal is an
,Important adjunct to the corporate hangars for corporate guests.
It was felt staff should not be upset when pointed questions are asked.
