moved to approve motion
Member Bils the minutes as corrected. The was duly
carried
seconded and unanimously.
Tenant Report - FBO
The FBO was present. The Chair received the report and read it into the record. It was

occupied.
4. Security Signage
Mr. Bahnick reported the City sign shop is open for business and he has ordered some
signs according to the board’s instructions at the last meeting. General discussion ensued
regarding missing no trespass signs along the golf course. One member reiterated his
objection to no pets signs. Member Silcox will submit to staff a list of his observations
regarding signage.
5. New Hangar Construction
Mr. Bahnick reported the project has reached the building permit phase. Architectural
drawings are expected tomorrow. A fence permit was pulled and hangars are staked. He
distributed a construction schedule, stating work is due for completion by March 1997.
maa12.96 1 12/04/96
General discussion ensued regarding construction and design details, stormwater drainage
and retention, and the 120 day time schedule. The building skin will be light gray and white to
avoid excessive heat buildup during summer months. No tall equipment will be present to
create safety hazards, and locating an access gate at the south end will keep all equipment off
the taxiway. Mr. Bahnick said staff will move forward with the safety overrun extension.
6. Master Plan Update
Mr. Bahnick reported he and Engineering Director Rich Baier met with consultants from
Post, Buckley, Shuh and Jernigan’s (PBSJ) aviation group last Friday to discuss the City’s
Master Plan update. A work committee is being formed and consultants are looking into
Federal funding sources for this non-revenue generating project. He said light and safety
overruns must be included in the Master Plan, regardless of how the airpark layout is changed.
In response to questions, Mr. Bahnick said the committee will revise the existing Master Plan; a
separate draft will not be created. Deadline for commencement is January 1, 1997. He
clarified PBSJ is not writing the City’s Master Plan, but are updating based on input from staff
and the Airport Authority. Members felt this is a good opportunity to prepare a coherent,
integrated plan to bring the airpark forward. Staff was requested to invite a representative
from PBSJ to the next meeting to discuss the Master Plan updates. Related discussion
regarding acreage and usage is reported below under Item #7.
7. Request for Proposal -- FBO
Concern was expressed the airpark is 62 acres, but only 19 are leased to the FBO.
Airport Authority members did not want to lose control of the acreage not leased to the FBO.
Discussion ensued regarding the draft RFP sent to each member, street layouts and existing
property surrounding the airpark.
Mr. Bahnick reported he worked with Member Silcox and Mr. Baier to incorporate the
Airport Authority’s comments into the airpark lease. He said the former Tampa Helicopter
property and the land the CAP is requesting, have been written into the airpark’s property
description. It was though this inclusion would simplify the lease process. Board members
expressed strong objection to such inclusion, especially in view of the City’s position not to go
forward with the CAP land request until the FBO issue is resolved.
moved
Member Bils to remove the helicopter pad property from the property description in
the RFP for FBO, treating it separately from the FBO lease, and to direct staff to resubmit the
CAP land request to the City Commission as soon as possible, explaining to the City
Commission the CAP land request is a separate issue and should not be tied to the FBO lease.
seconded
The motion was duly .
In response to a question, Mr. Bahnick affirmed it will be simple to separate the property
descriptions. He noted staff has attempted to bring this issue forward three times, but each
separate agenda item was pulled. Discussion ensued and clarification was requested. It was
indicated the Airport Authority does not want the helicopter parcel separated from the airpark
property, but from the RFP for FBO. It was felt there is no reason the CAP land issue should
not go forward at the next City Commission meeting. Mr. Atanasio affirmed to he ready to go
forward and was relieved to hear the clarification.
maa12.96 2 12/04/96
vote motioncarried
Upon the being taken, the unanimously.
Discussion ensued with Mr. Atanasio regarding his desire for the City to move forward with
the CAP land request. Board members suggested Mr. Atanasio prepare a written two-page
summary of his request, highlighting the benefits to the City, and make a two-minute
presentation to the City Commission. Mr. Bahnick will work with Mr. Atanasio to attempt to get
this item back on the City Commission agenda. It was indicated the City Commission may never
have had an opportunity to view the item, as it was pulled by the City Management Team
before the work session.
Discussion ensued regarding the possibility of finding additional land and contracting two
separate FBO’s. Mr. Bahnick said staff is investigating non-exclusive rights for an FBO,
although one would have exclusive use of the fuel farm. Discussion ensued regarding the
legalities of seeking State funds for creating an FBO operation, and the possibility of
competition. It was indicated the Airport Authority would love to see enough business to
support two FBO’s.
Mr. Bahnick said the selection committee is being formed to review the new RFP. He
asked Members Silcox and Benjamin to serve on the committee, in their capacity as Chair and
Secretary. The two members indicated they are happy to serve. Mr. Bahnick read a list of
other committee representatives. The board was disappointed Mr. Brumback was not included
on the committee. It was indicated two members of the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce
may be invited. Concern was expressed the selection committee members should be
Clearwater residents. Mr. Bahnick felt this request was reasonable and said he will pass along
the information. The City Commission will review the RFP draft and return it to staff with their
recommendations. Member Silcox stated some people may have looked at a copy of his RFP
draft while he visited the airpark. He regretted the oversight and hoped it would not give
anyone an unfair advantage.
8. Economic Benefit Analysis for Clearwater Airpark
Airport Authority and Engineering Department members were pleased to see the report
that the airpark has contributed to over $9 million dollars in positive economic impact to the
City.
9. Airpark Budget
Mr. Bahnick distributed copies of the reports Budget Director Tina Wilson had been
requested to provide regarding the airpark budget. He summarized the reports regarding the
last few years the airpark was an enterprise fund, and why it moved to the General Fund.
Discussion ensued regarding coordinating funding with the FDOT on a five-year basis to tie in
with the Master Plan.
Other Business
maa12.96 3 12/04/96
In response to a question from Member Silcox, Mr. Bahnick said the north end of the
runway is being surveyed in preparation for an autocad drawing PBSJ will use in drafting the
Master Plan.
Member Silcox asked staff to investigate cutting back the hedge along the golf course. He
said he will support the CAP land request. He reported FAA officials flew over to check out the
airpark’s GPS approach. They were unable to land because of runway length regulations. He
noted runway markings will have to be changed to an instrument approach if GPS is approved.
Mr. Emshoff said VOR’s are being replaced by GPS approaches throughout the country. He
did not expect to see VOR’s in use within five to ten years.
Member Silcox commented preparing the tenant list for the new hangars is an issue for
the FBO, not the Airport Authority. Member Benjamin agreed. Mr. Emshoff preferred the
Airport Authority to make the decision, because everyone wants an end hangar. Discussion
ensued regarding different ways of assigning hangars, whether existing tenants or people on
the waiting list should have first choice of hangars, and if Hangar A is going to be refurbished.
Mr. Silcox said many people feel refurbishment is not needed because the existing building will
be okay with nothing more than a new coat of paint. Many tenants do not want to move to
enable refurbishment. Assistant City Attorney John Carassas will look at the FBO lease to see
if hangar assignment is a requirement.
Mr. Emshoff expressed concern the dip in the runway is getting worse. It will be expensive
to repair and the airpark cannot be licensed while the dip exists. He did not believe the airpark
will fill up 17 enclosed hangars, because they are more expensive. It was indicated everyone
wants T-stands and he was concerned the FBO could lose money on empty hangars.
Discussion continued regarding the number of tenants who might want to move into the new
hangars, and their potential location. Concerns have been expressed by some tenants who do
not like the temporary parking arrangement. Lease rates were compared regarding the old
and new hangars. It was indicated corner spaces are larger, but lease at the same rate as
interior spaces. It was suggested to table this discussion for a future meeting, but Mr. Silcox
said tenants want to know what they are facing.
Mr. Bahnick profiled what will be involved in refurbishing Hangar A. In response to a
question, he said the Fire Marshal has not mandated refurbishment, but will require sprinklers
if some of the existing activities continue. Ken Love stated he investigated Hangar A during
his work on the previous RFP and found problems with the roof membrane, fire wall and
asphalt floors. He found the outside of the hangar could be spray painted for a reasonable
cost. He offered his documentation for the board’s convenience. He pointed out the concerns
of those not wanting to move involve more than just airplanes, because some bays are being
used for storage. Staff was asked to arrange and Airport Authority tour of the airpark facility,
accompanied by someone who is qualified to point out the problems.
Mr. Bahnick presented the site plan for the proposed American Tool & Mold Company
building, showing stormwater retention on City airpark property. Discussion ensued regarding
whether the proposal will benefit the airpark, and size and shape of the requested land. Mr.
Carassas responded to questions regarding development of that portion of the property and
whether the airpark would receive any excess stormwater retention credits. It was indicated
revenue from the lease would go into the General Fund, but would count toward City revenues
maa12.96 4 12/04/96
generated by the airpark. Concern was expressed dimensioned drawings and capacity
calculations will be needed before the Airport Authority can make a recommendation.
Member Benjamin noted this item should be considered in conjunction with the five-year
Master Plan at the next meeting. Mr. Bahnick said the suggestion to tie in with the Master Plan
is reasonable, but pointed out the City’s Economic Development people favor granting the
request and are looking for a decision.
Mr. Bickerstaffe spoke in opposition to the proposal, stating retention is not the best use of
the land.
Concerns were expressed with the airpark losing use of the land for an indeterminate time.
One person suggested the proposed retention could be reconfigured to have less impact on
the airpark property. Mr. Carassas said an easement, not a lease, would be more in line with
the passive use. It was indicated an easement would likely run for the life of the building.
Consensus was to ask Assistant City Manager/Development Director Bob Keller to attend the
next meeting to discuss this issue in conjunction with PBSJ’s Master Plan review. Mr. Bahnick
will relate the Airport Authority’s wishes to Mr. Keller. He noted a request to annex the
adjacent unincorporated property is driving this request.
Call of the Next Meeting
The next regular meeting of the Airport Authority was called for Wednesday, January 8,
1997, at 3:00 p.m., in the Municipal Services Building Human Resources Room #111. It was
indicated the Airport Authority members may use their parking passes.

portion of the property and whether the airpark would receive any excess stormwater
