2. HJR5 Funding Capabilities
Mr. Paul Cunningham, the Boise Airport Commission Chair, gave a brief
presentation regarding HJR5, an amendment to the Idaho Constitution that will be
on the ballot on November 2" 2010. He gave a short history of the Boise
Airport's attempt to get funding for building a parking garage, which led to the
drafting of HJR5 and its overwhelming approval by both chambers of the
legislature, resulting in its inclusion on the November ballot.
Paul then summarized his position in favor of HJR5, stating that the purpose is to
allow municipalities that operate airports to issue revenue bonds to finanEe capital
projects on city owned airports. No taxpayer dollars would be used to repay the
revenue bonds. The bonds would be repaid from airport-generated income. He
indicated that there has been strong, across-the-board support for this
amendment. Paul stated that this constitutional amendment (HJR5) allows
airports to use user fees to do business.
Mr. Cunningham fielded questions from the Commission Members and left
literature further explaining HJRS. (For more information, see www.hjrfacts.com.)
3. Master Plan Update

4. Report of City Council Action on Airport Fees
Brent Orton explained the airport fee schedule that was recently approved by the
Caldwell City Council. He stated that the idea of a late fee which was
recommended against by the airport commission was removed per
recommendation and that the uncovered land lease rate was eliminated as
recommended by the airport commission so that all leased land will be at a
uniform rate. All other fees remained static.
5. Minimum Standards / Rules & Regulations Update
Brent stated that Aaron Seable, of the City Attorney's Office, has been researching
the Minimum Standards and looking into FAA rule requirements. Aaron will be
presenting his recommendations when the new Airport Manager has been hired.
Marty Koch suggested that a workshop be held to address this issue at that time,
rather than try to handle it in the limited one hour of a Commission meeting.
6. Airport Manager Position Update
Brent Orton stated that the position of Airport Manager remains open and they are
continuing to conduct interviews. .
7. 2011 Budget — Brent Orton
Brent went over the 2011 Budget, which was previously sent out to the members.
He gave a summary of the budget, which has been approved by City Council, and
answered questions from the Commission members.
A request was made by a member that the Commission be included in the budget
development process for the next budget year.
8. Marty Koch requested an update on the Eagle Scout project. Brent Orton stated
that there has been no contact from Tussey Lloyd. Marty recommended
contacting the scout; however another Commission member suggested that the
scout should be making contact himself, as that is part of showing leadership and
is what the project is about. Brent will contact Tom Briten, who presented Tussey
Lloyd's Eagle Scout project at the July 2010 Commission Meeting, to see where
the project stands.
Next Airport Commission Meeting: Thursday, November 4 2010.
