1. Introduction of New Commission Member— Rob Oates
Rob Oates introduced and welcomed our new Airport Commission member, Barry
Everett, Jr., who was approved by the City Council on January 4, 2012.
2. Minutes of December 2011 Airport Commission Meeting
Motion was made and seconded to accept the December 2011 Minutes. Motion
passed.
3. Airport Improvement Plan — Tom Lemenager
Tom Lemenager reported on the recent pre-design meeting with the FAA for FY'12
& FY'13 AIP's. The scope of the FY'12 AIP is that FAA will retroactively pay for
the taxi lanes that were built on the west side of the airport last Fall, and for seal-
coating of all the surfaces to the west of the parallel taxiway A.
For the FY'13 AIP, the FAA will provide funding for the ramp expansion on the
northeast side of the airport.
Brent Orton reported on the relocation of the irrigation ditch. He stated that it will
be an open ditch. Plans have been submitted for review, and negotiations have
begun with affected landowners. Mr. Orton explained the rationales for the new
plans. He stated that they hope to begin digging in April, but this is contingent on
various factors.

4. Rules 8� Regulations / Minimum Standards — Rob Oates
Rob Oates asked for the Commission's approval for the final drafts of both the
Rules and Regulations and Minimum Standards, which were sent to the members
via email on 12/20/11. These drafts were also posted on the Airport's page of the
City website, for public review.
Marty Koch made motion to approve both the Rules and Regulations document
and the Minimum Standards document, as written and received on 12/20/11.
Mack Kreizenbeck seconded the motion. Motion was passed unanimously.
These documents will be provided to the City Clerk to be placed on the conspnt
calendar, for approval by the Caldwell City Council.
Upon notification of passage, these documents will be provided via email to the
Commission members and will be made available to the public on the Airport page
of the City website.
6. Visitor Parking Designation — Rob Oates
Rob Oates presented the idea of designating a specific part of the tie-down area
as "Visitor Parking", suggesting some of those closest to the restaurant.
Discussion ensued as to various possibilities. Wayne Thiel stated that this is a
good idea. Mike Reed also feels this is a good idea. Mack Kreizenbeck
suggested the entire first row be designated for visitors. Marty Koch thinks it's a
great idea to have visitor parking, but suggested starting with just a few spots, until
more is determined as necessary.
Barry Everett stated there was also a need for designation of spaces for larger
aircraft on the ramp within the box, where they could taxi into their spot, without
the need to back the tail in.
Rob stated that he would research the various possibilities more and report back
to the Commission.
7. Miscellaneous Airport Business — Rob Oates
Rob reported that a new windsock is coming from the Idaho Transportation
Department to replace the existing, worn windsock on the field.
Rob also reported that there are again issues with the PAPI lights, and a NOTAM
has been issued. He says it appears there is a break in the line befinreen the high
voltage shack and the lights. Another possibility is that the problem is with the
breaker. An electrician is being called to check it out.
The hangar numbering project is currently underway. The City Street Department
completed the signs in very fast order, much sooner than expected, and the
hanging of the numbers is going forward quickly.
Rob informed the Commission members that the Airport now has a Facebook
page, and that the Airport page on the City website is being used to post
documents and information, making them readily available to the public.

Rob advised the Commission that hard copies of the Airport News newsletter will
no longer be mailed to non-tenants. The newsletter will be distributed by and large
by email, but hardcopies will be mailed to tenants who do not have email
addresses. Every effort is being made to obtain email addresses from as many
tenants as possible, to further reduce the cost of the newsletter.
Rob reported that we are currently working with Intermountain Gas on the
possibility of bringing natural gas to the hangars in the private area. In the
newsletter, hangar owners were asked to notify the office if they are interested in
having natural gas available to their hangars, as this project is dependent on the
number of parties that are interested.
Rob stated that there are also plans to bring natural gas to the Hubler Terminal,
with the City providing some of the digging, thus reducing the cost. This access
will also be beneficial for future development on the northeast side of the airport.
Next Airport Commission Meeting: Thursday, February 2" 2012
The meeting was adjourned at 1:00 PM.
