4. Mayor Nancolas
Mayor Nancolas, who was visiting asked to speak to the Commission. He brought a
thank you to all the Commission members from himself and the City Council. He
stated that they consider the Airport one of the city's "jewels in our crown". He stated
that this airport is key to the city's economic development and is very important, and
that this volunteer Commission's hard work was very appreciated.
The mayor also wanted the Commission to know that the City Council was not
ignoring the Commission's request about a name change. He said that, during the
• "Mayor's Comments" section of the City Council meeting this Monday night, he will
discuss this issue with the Council members, and then they will put it on the City
Council agenda after that. He invited input regarding the name change from the

Commissioners.
5. Airport Zone
Discussion was opened regarding the Airport Zone document, which was distributed to
� all Commission members. Curt referred to pg.l l&12 — Airport Terminal — reminding
members that things that would not be allowed other places on the airport, we might
want within the terminal building.
On page 10 — Institution - column AD — Curt stated that he would like to see two
changes. First, under Industrial, for Fuel Yard, instead of "S" for special permit, he
suggested "P" for permitted use. Members asked if we should restrict a fuel yard to
only aviation fuel. Curt suggested that at some point in the future, other types of fuel
might be required for tugs, and other aviation related vehicles needed on the airport.
Another member had questions regarding safety issues, and Rob Oates stated that this
document does not supersede safety guidelines.
Also on page 10, Curt suggested that under Refrigerated Storage, because of the growth
of the airport and possible needs of future cargo, such storage may be needed, and
would like to add an "S" for special use.
Member asked if an item was not under special use, who would dictate future use.
Mayor Nancolas said that FAA has rules, state has rules, building codes would be
consider, then city codes would come into place to scrutinize a use.
Bob McGee brought up page 11, section 5, which gives height limits on any building in
� a hospital district, and asked how this squares with recent St. Luke's Hospital and
Mercy Hospital. Curt stated that both are just under height limits, and both have filed
Form 7460 with the FAA.
Another member asked for a definition of "hospital district", and was informed that
such information was available on page 3.
Rob Oates mentioned page 10, Welding Shop and stated that it could be used in
aviation support. He suggested that we might place this under special use to consider
such on a case-by-case basis. It was stated that it is the Commission's purpose to make
such calls.
Mayor Nancolas stated that putting something under special use opens up the item to
the City Council to institute conditions and normal constraints upon the item.
Mayor Nancolas also suggest that this could also be approached in a different manner.
The Commission could add a statement to the document that could be used by the
Commission under rare circumstances, that any use that is not in conflict with the FAA,
operations at the airport, and not a safety issue, could be considered.
The Mayor stated that this document does not need to be rushed. He suggested taking
time to be sure it is as the Commission wants it. It was suggested that the Commission
� might want to consider this document line by line in detail.
Rob Oates brought up page 10, in light of recent far reaching plans regarding making
l l�c�� ();' C�I.-� �1ir��a�c.s - IZ�;� [��.� - fi��i� �?;'1 r-�()t�°;

the airport a transportation hub, if the airport and surrounding area continue to grow,
someone may want to build a distribution center at the airport.
� Curt suggested that since this is the first time the Commission members have seen this
document in its present form, they might consider taking the ordinance home to study
and then discuss it at next month's meeting.
After various areas were brought up that may need to be discussed more, a motion was
made to table discussion until next month's meeting, at which time it can be discussed
more thoroughly. Motion passed.
6. Minimum Standards
This document was handed out to each member. The Minimum Standards revision has
now been officially approved.
7. Toothman-Orton — Land Purchase
Kevin Bissell stated that they a have contract with the City of Caldwell working for
reimbursement for the land acquisition of the Lemerick parcel & the Tri-Cedars
Development parcel. Mayor Nancolas mentioned that when he, Gordon Law and Curt
Hawkins visited with the FAA, they had been told they would have about $800,000 per
year for land purchases. However, the amount of dollars available has shrunk. Also,
the reimbursement process has been complicated more than previously thought. For
these reasons, land acquisition has not proceeded as quickly as hoped. However, he
stated that they plan to continue moving forward with land acquisition, but they may be
dealing with a continuing resolution, keeping dollar levels low.
� In response to Civic Partners' recent presentation, Kevin Bissell handed out copies of
the Executive Summary, regarding placement of the future terminal building. He
stated that there is much support for locating major development on east side of the
airport. He cited the incapability of smaller aircraft to commingle with larger jets,
stating that now there are 6.8 acres in our apron area, which is insufficient for jet
traffic.
8. Hoyt Fleming - Airport Name Change
Due to the fact that many in the community do not know who Gary Hubler was, a
seven-minute version of a video on CD about Gary Hubler has been developed and
Hoyt Fleming handed out a copy of this video to the Commission members.
9. Next Airport Commission Meeting: Thursday December 6 2007.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:47PM.
