Re: Commission Meeting April 6th, 2000
Those present included airport manager Jack Pearson, commission members Bob
McGee, Phil Fouts, Dean Dishman, Ray Caldwell, Toni Elordi and city council liaison
Mike Gable. Visitors included Boyd Newhouse, Jerry Wilda, Bill Hinkle, Greg Swanson,
Loralee Gray and Jim and Anita Shore.
Acting chairman Dean Dishman called the meeting to order at 12 noon. Members of the
commission could not remember getting the minutes of the previous meeting so no action
was taken on the March minutes. ( Tony Elordi called later to say found his copy of the
March minutes so everyone should have received them.) Items from the agenda that were
discussed included:
1. Loralee Gray of Silverhawk Aviation told about their helicopter operation and noted
they plan to build a new facility on the field as soon as land becomes available. The
commission gave them a hearty welcome as a new business on the field.
2. Jerry Wilda told the commission he was moving his entire operation from Nampa to
the Caldwell Airport. This would ultimately bring around thirty (30) airplanes to
Caldwell. He will also bring air taxi and several other needed operations to
Caldwell. His location will depend on the availability of the pilot shop area now
leased by Boyd Newhouse.
3. Boyd Newhouse introduced himself to the commission and announced that he had
applied for the position of airport manager. The commission regarded him as well
well qualified. Should he be appointed, he would assign his location to Wilda.
4. The manager reported that we will have a new restaurant operator May 1 St . That
the current AIP project is scheduled for completion mid-May. That construction
of the new facility for CADY Industries was underway.

5. The commission went on record as being very satisfied with the current airport
management and wished him well after retirement. The manager stated he would
work with the new manager and help finish current projects during the next
few months.
6. Mike Gable answered questions as to why the airport manager's position was
changed from a"hired" position to an "appointed" one. He also talked about the
off ramps at Karcher, Middleton and Utick. There was also discussion on the
coming road changes in the vicinity of Perkins Restaurant.
Having covered all items that were presented, the meeting was adjourned at 1 p.m.
