Caldwell Airport Com�ission
Minutes
September 2nd, 1993
Present: Marty Koch, Bob McGee, Dr. McLaughlin,
Phil Fouts, LeeAnn Simmons. Also present
were Chuck Sundby and Bill Statham of the
Toothman Orton engineering firm.
The meeting was called to order at 12 noon by chairman Marty
Koch. Minutes of the August 5th,1993 meeting were approved
as mailed. Items discussed from the agenda were:
1. Dr. McLaughlin, and others anticipating
constructing hangars in the recently completed
taxiway area, voiced concern over the possible
high cost of filling in the area to bring
hangar floors up to an acceptable grade.
Chuck Sundby will run down costs. He thinks
it would be far more economical to do them all
at once. The commission moved to recommend the
city participate in the cost of the project.
Possibly bearing the cost of the fill.
2. T&0's Chuck Sundby recommended a program to
develop the scope of work needed to complete
our new Master Plan. Dr. Roy McClaughlin was
chosen to chair a committee of approximately
10 people to work on the scope of the plan.
3. A need for changing two fence lines were
discussed. (1) The fence along the road
adjacent to the Skydive operation should
be moved to allow parking off Aviation
Way. No-Parking-On-Road signs should be
installed along the south side of the street.
(2) The fence in front of Avid Aircraft should
be realigned to allow parking in front of
their building without going through the
fence. This will put the new security gate
closer to their building keeping unwanted
traffic off the airport yet allowing their
customers access to their main entrance.
The Commssion recommended the city make these
two fence changes along with closing in the
fence in front of the new taxiway project.

4. Avid Aircraft's representative Louard
Crumbaugh explained the need for more
room for their growing operation. They
are asking for an extension of 50X100 ft.
on the East side of the building and
an addition on the front of 15 to 20 ft.
by about half the width of the building.
He will come up with some hard figures as
to cost and the city will be asked to
build the addition. A new lease would
be negotiated prior to construction.
5. Acarregue and Baker, who have a lease on
four lots in the area between the terminal and
and Avid, say that, due to escalating costs
of construction, they are unable to obtain
financing for their hangars. They would like
to cancel their lease, leave the monies paid in
to be used as partial payment on the rent of
hangar land when they become available at the
extreme West end of the airport. The commission
recommended that this be acceptable with the
City Council.
6. It was noted that an ultralite operation was
giving instruction out of a Shore & Shore
hanger. The airport manager was instructed to
check on this.
The meeting was adjoured at 1:05 p.m. After the meeting,
the T&0 people and the manager made a visual check on the
grading of the taxiway area. It appears there will not be
near the fill needed as first thought. T&0 will get us some
actual figures.
