� Caldwell Airport Commission
Minutes
August 5th, 1993
Present: Dean Dishman, Bob McGee, Dr. McLaughlin,
Marty Koch and new commssion member Phil
Fouts. Also in attendance were FAA's Bill
Watson, Caldwell City Engineer Gordon Law
and Chuck Sandby from Toothman and Orton.
The meeting was called to order at 12 noon and the minutes
of the July 8th meeting were approved.
1. The T&0 representative said the present taxiway
project was almost completed and came in slightly
under budget. A walk around the project was made
by the airport manager, Chuck Sandby, Bill Watson
and some of the commission members. This was made
following the meeting.
2. Concerning a question of security and safety for
the airport, FAA's Bill Watson suggested we make
an amendment to the present master to include
three automatic security gates. These can be
funded in part by the money left over from the
taxiway project. The airport manager was
instructed to get prices and work with T&0 on
this Also, a notice to keep vehicles off taxiways
and runways should be given to all airport
tenants.
3. Gordon Law said the selection of the consultant
to update the master plan should be complete by
August. FAA's Bill Watson said he and his office
will give us their input when we actually start
the update.
4. Concerning the Caldwell Chamber's request to get
water and power to the area used by air show
vendors, it was pointed out that there exists two
24 inch culverts to this area. No cutting of
asphalt or tunneling will be needed.
5. The question of changing the Fliteline lease
to assure 40 years instead of 20 was resolved by
vote of the commission. The commission decided
that the original intent of the leases was to
offer a 20 year lease with the option of renewal
as opposed to a complete termination at the end
of the first 20 years and offering a first right
of refusal on the second 20 years. The airport
manager was iunstructed to furnish the corrected
language.

In general discussion Bill Watson pointed out the need to
proceed with caution on through-the-fence operations. FAA
funding could be lost. He said they are eager to help
existing airports and that their planner pon Larson will
work with us and the consultant on the new master plan. He
also indicated the builders of the new hangars could
probably get block approval for all new hangars regardless
of the fact they were different styles and were constructed
by different builders.
The next was scheduled at it's regular time for September
2nd, 1993.
Chairman Koch adjourned the meeting at 1 p.m.
