g�; Minutes of May 7th, 1998 Meeting
Those resent for the meeting were: Airport Manager Jack Pearson,

Phil Fouts. Others in attendance included FAA representatives John
Walker, Lou Sanders and Mike Dolan. Visitors present were Jim and

and Nampa airport manager Dan Henry were also present.
The meeting was called to order by Dr. Roy McLaughlin at 12:05 p.m.
The minutes of the last meeting were approved as mailed. Items from
the agenda and others discussed included:
1. The revising of our MINIMUM STANDARDS was discussed and a
committee consisting of Dr. Roy McLaughlin, Bob McGee and the
airport manager was appointed to make revisions if needed.
If there are any revisions, they will be submitted to the
commission, the FAA and the City Council for acceptance.
2. After the information session bringing everyone up-to-date on
our AIP programs for 1998 and 1999, the commission's discussion
centered on the NDB ( non directional beacon ) used by Caldwell
and Nampa as part of the approach procedures for both airports.
After input from almost everyone present, it was decided that,
in the interest of safety, that both Nampa and Caldwell pilots
should be on the same frequency. Due to the clutter on 122.8,
122.7 was selected as the practical frequency for both airports.
The manager was instructed to proceed with a request to the FCC
for the change. FAA's Lou Sanders said he would start the ball
rolling by making the initial contact with the FCC.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:35.
