To provide continuity for research, items are in agenda order although not necessarily discussed
in that order.
ITEM 1 - -
Call to Order 3:01 p.m. at City Hall
ITEM 2 - -
Minutes Approval December 2, 1998
Mr. Roper moved to approve the minutes of the December meeting as submitted, the
motion was unanimous.
ITEM 3 -
Runway/Taxiway Lights Update
Mr. Morris spoke with Glen Bahnick, Engineer III/Public Works Adm., concerning his
involvement with the airport. As a city employee, he will be fully involved with the
engineering side of projects, Mr. Morris will take his place at the meetings.
The Runway/Taxiway lights contract will be awarded at the January 21, 1999
commission meeting. Projected construction start date will be February 1, 1999.
Members should plan on attending the commission meeting. On a side issue the “No
Parking” signs are up near the air compressor.
ITEM 4 -
Airport Master Plan Update
PBS&J (Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc.) not ready to bring a report forward, still
in the information gathering stage. PBS&J should come to future board meetings for
updates. Concerns mentioned to Mr. Morris: Distance of the taxiway from the
centerline of the main runway; if aircraft certification is upgraded in the future this will
become an issue, in addition to the overruns and retention pond issues. Question:
(re: the taxiway to centerline problem) If we go to the next class and put the safety
overruns in and don’t put in the chevrons, would we be in the next class if we meet all
the other requirements? Answer: If we chevron off and move the displaced thresholds
as discussed with Engineering then we can still stay in the same class, the length of the
runway does not move us into the next class. (The chevrons designate the displaced
maa0199 1 01/06/99
thresholds so that theoretically we will have more runway but not enough to put us in
the next category.)
ITEM 5 -
Other Business
There is an ongoing problem with people parking in the front of hangars. It was
suggested that the problem be addressed with signage “Park in Designated Areas
Only” in the future, after the gate problem is resolved.
The tenant report was updated by Rick Emshoff, it was requested that this be listed in
the agenda. Total aircraft population is approximately 130 at the present time, more
spaces could be filled if available.
Mr. Atanasio, Civil Air Patrol (CAP) got up to thank the board for all the work and
support he’s been given. He spoke with Mr. Morris, and decided there are no long term
problems for the CAP and that everything will happen within 30 to 60 days. He will not
lose donated building and will keep Mr. Morris updated as to needs of the CAP.
Mr. Emshoff got up to report that a letter went out to tenants regarding the gate closure.
New gate code begins January 7, 1999. New welcome sign is not up yet, wording
being discussed with Mr. Bahnick.
The Keene road upgrades may impact the western boundary fence at the north end of
the proposed runway overruns. It may be against the road right by the Number #2
fairway on the golf course. The fence will be right by the easement extension and the
golf course would be losing part their fairway. It was noted that the retention pond is
about 1/3 larger than recommended, and the undisturbed scrub brush in the NW corner
that was left as an appeasement for environmental concerns has been torn up by utility
crews working in this area.
It was suggested that we need to start talking about the airport “Open House” day,
there are volunteers ready to help out when the program is set. Mr. Bahnick has a list
of citizens in the area for flyers so the word gets out. Motion was made to make it an
agenda item to be carried forward to other meetings and start planning in earnest.
