2. Airport Improvement Plan — Tom Lemenager
Tom Lemenager reported that the 2011 AIP project on the southwest corner of the
airport has been completed, and the final inspection was done Ncvember 17 He
stated the final cost for the project was around $301,000.
Tom said the scope of the 2012 AIP project will most likely include paying for the
design and bidding of the 2011 taxiway project, and the seal coating of most of the
west side, except the runway and parallel taxiway. He stated that the land
purchase for the additional apron will not be included in the 2012 AIP grant.
3. Irrigation Canal Move / Negotiations — Brent Orton
Brent Orton, Public Works Director, gave a report on the relocation of the canal.
He stated that they queried to relocate the canal in a pipe, but decided against
doing so, as it was not previously approved that way and would delay the project.
It will therefore be relocated as an open canal. Discussion has begun with the
land owners, as well as appraisers, and they have ordered the title reports. He
stated they are still hoping to complete this project during this irrigation off-season.
4. Rules 8� Regulations / Minimum Standards — Rob Oates
Rob Oates informed the Commission Members that he plans to incorporate into
the Rules and Regulations document additional suggestions and comments that
he had just received this last week.

document will be posted on the airport website, both in the red-lined version, as
well as the clean document that will be presented to City Council.
5. Rotating Beacon — Rob Oates
Rob Oates stated that work has been done on the airport's rotating beacon. The
sensor which turns the beacon off during daylight hours is only working
intermittently. The electrician had reported that the sensor may soon need to be
replaced, due to age.
6. Snow Removal Process — Rob Oates
Rob Oates explained the process for snow removal. Markers are now available
for hangar owners to pick up at the airport office. These may be placed outside of
the hangar, indicating to the snow plow crew that they would like their hangar
apron cleared.
7. Hangar Numbering Plan — Rob Oates
Rob Oates stated that this project will soon be implemented, with each hangar
inside the fence having its own unique hangar number. The numbers will be
provided and attached by the city. All other addressing systems should be
removed at that time.
8. Wall of Fame — Brent Orton
Brent Orton stated that a decision has been made regarding the previously
discussed Wall of Fame. It was determined that the Wall of Fame should be done
in order to honor individuals who have historically contributed to the development
of the airport.
Mike Reed suggested that the wall in the public section of the Hubler terminal,
where the Hubler plaque is now placed, would make an excellent choice for such
Wall of Fame.
Phil Fouts suggested that guidelines and qualifications be set as to who
could/would be honored on the wall.
Bob McGee suggested that a display of some historical photographs of the airport
be included on this wall.
9. Meetings Schedule for 2012 — Rob Oates
Rob Oates brought up the fact that the rules for the commission state that the
Airport Commission must meet a minimum of nine times per year. This past year,
the Commission met every month. Rob thought that perhaps a schedule should
be considered to include a couple of months off, and asked for discussion
regarding from the members.
Bob McGee mentioned that historically July has been taken off, as the 4 often
falls on or close to then. Rob thought that May might be another possible
consideration.

After discussion, these two dates (May 3` and July 5 were agreed upon, and a
third date might possibly be considered as the year progresses. Rob stated that
ample notice will be given prior to any cancelled meeting.
10. Relocation of houses — Brent Orton
Brent wanted the Commission members to be aware that there was an issue
regarding the relocation of the houses that were removed prior to Hubler terminal
being built. Therefore, the FAA is requiring the city to return some of the monies
that had been reimbursed on the purchase of the land.
11. Commission Vacancy — Rob Oates
Rob Oates said that he received two letters of interest for the Commission
vacancy. These have been presented to the Mayor for consideration of the
appointment. He stated that the new council member, replacing Myron Tucker,
should be on board for the first meeting of 2012 on January 5tn
