1. Minutes of October 2010 Airport Commission Meeting
Motion was made and seconded to accept the October 2010 Minutes. Motion
passed.
2. Richard D. Miller Memorial — Carolyn Miller/Martel & Bill Hinkle
Bill Hinkle of Hinkle Aviation, Inc. spoke briefly about his history and friendship
with Dick Miller.
Carolyn Miller, widow of Richard D. Miller, asked her son, Shawn Martel to present
a memorial project for the Airport Commission's consideration, with the purpose of
establishing a permanent memorial in memory of Richard D. Miller on the Caldwell
Airport. Their idea is to add the name "Richard D. Miller Field" to airport signage.
This would not change the official name of the airport. A booklet was handed out
,� to the Commission Members with some of Dick Miller's history and
accomplishments at the airport and in the community, as well as some ideas as to
what other airports have done that might be considered. Carol will fund the cost of
this project, and is seeking approval from Airport Commission. As the project goes
forward, she will present the design and the placement for approval.
Carolyn then spoke about her research on name-changing at airports, which can
be a problem. She stated that by adding a name it is not changing it, and pilots
would still refer to its current designation, so that this would not cause confusion.
She provided some examples of other airports and how similar memorials have
been done.

Discussion ensued. Mike Reed stated that he felt this was a good idea and very
do-able.
Rob Oates stated that this proposal is structured in such a way that it may be a
possibility. He said that the first step would be a recommendation from the Airport
Commission, and then a presentation would probably be necessary at a City
Council Workshop. He recommended that the new Master Plan be considered,
and that Carol try to work the signage into something consistent with that plan.
Wayne Thiel stated that he liked the idea of the project, and he especially likes
that it does not propose changing the name of the airport.
Mike Reed stated it needs to be stressed to the City Council, that this does not
change the name.
Rick Bugatsch stated that this is to be just an honorary name, which would be
reflected on the airport signage —"Richard D. Miller Field".
Wayne Thiel made a motion, which was seconded by Myron Tucker, to
recommend to the Caldwell City Council that the Richard D. Miller Memorial
Project be considered for the Caldwell Airport. Motion passed.
3. AOPA & Presidential Infrastructure Plan — Mack Kreizenbeck
This item was not discussed, as the plan is no longer a consideration.
4. Airport Hangar Addressing — Brent Orton
Brent introduced Karla Baker, of Caldwell City Mapping, who presented some
ideas on how to bring the addressing of hangars on the airport into consistency
throughout. She stated that these plans only affect hangars inside the fence.
Brent Orton then asked for input from the Airport Commission. Rob Oates stated
that he felt it was simpler to have one address for each hangar, as Karla presented
in the first chart. Further discussion ensued.
Marty Koch made motion to recommend the address system, assigning a unique
number to each hangar, as depicted on Chart #R1.Further, a street address
appropriate to each gate would be assigned to the block of hangars accessible
through that gate. This address and the hangar numbers assigned to it would be
indicated on signage at the gate. Motion was seconded by Rob Oates and passed
unanimously.
5. Master Plan Update
Brent Orton stated that the City Council approved the proposal for the Master
Plan, and it will now be presented to the Federal Aviation Administration for
approval.
6. Minimum Standards / Rules & Regulations Update — Brent Orton
Brent stated that the work on the Minimum Standards and Rules & Regulations will
go forward when a new Airport Manager has been hired, so that he or she can be
involved in the process, as previously recommended by the Airport Commission.
