5 – New Business
Stormwater Management Plan
Airport Operations Manager Gordon Wills reviewed the Clearwater Airpark Stormwater
Management Plan. Tomorrow, the City will deliver a check for permit fees to PBS&J (Post,
Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, Inc.) to be forwarded to SWFWMD (Southwest Florida Water
Management District). He anticipated necessary permits will be issued by the end of April
2004 and will allow the Airpark to build all short-term projects cited in the Master Plan.
Airport Monitor System
Mr. Morris distributed a copy of a newspaper article referencing the new St. Petersburg
- Clearwater International Airport monitor system, which allows Internet users to view general
aviation aircraft in the area. When residents complain regarding air traffic not associated with
Clearwater Airpark, staff will be able to use this system to tract aircraft following complaints.
The system will permit residents to monitor aircraft using St. Petersburg - Clearwater
International Airport. The system features a built-in clock but maintains a 10-minute delay for
security reasons. All airplanes using the Airpark must have a transponder and will appear on
the system. Only altitude information will be provided for airplanes with filed flight plans.
Military aircraft will not be tracked. The system is too expensive to be installed at the Airpark.
This system will not eliminate the need for a guard at the Airpark. Mr. Wills reported
staff has acquired a City vehicle for the guard’s use.
6 – Other Business
Mr. Morris reported Code Enforcement and the Fire Department will inspect the Airpark
facility, including hangars, on November 20, 2003 to identify code discrepancies and fire
hazards. The report should be available for board discussion in January.
