1. Minutes of June 2009 Airport Commission Meeting
Motion was made and seconded to accept the June 2009 Minutes. Motion
passed.
2. New Terminal Update
Toby Epler, of Kimley-Horn, reported the closure of the runway will be required for
4 hours and then the threshold will be displaced for 16 days. This has not yet
been scheduled, but at that time a NOTAM will be filed.
The Master Plan contract still needs to be negotiated with City Engineering.
The question was asked as to what we can do to expedite the process. The
general consensus was that it is out of the Commission's hands.
3. Driving Plan
Curt reported that we developed a proposed driving plan, which was then sent to
our attorney for approval, and then to the FAA, who are looking at it right now. As
far as we can tell, there is no other non-carrier airport in the Northwest that has a
driving plan.
Mack Kreizenbeck asked to go on record as opposing the driving plan. Mike Reed
brought up the question of how to enforce this driving plan.
After discussion on the subject, Hoyt Fleming volunteered to prepare a"freedom of
information request" to find out who wrote the letter of complaint to the FAA that
precipitated the FAA request of the driving plan.

_ � ,4. Non-Aeronautical Usage
Curt read a letter from the FAA regarding various non-aeronautical usages on the
airport, and commented on various inaccurate statements in that letter which will
need to be clarified.
Curt also mentioned land on the opposite side of Aviation Way, and FAA
disallowance of non-aeronautical usage. FAA stated that we can allow non-
aeronautical usage with the prevision to vacate within 6 months, if it should be
needed for aeronautical usage.
5. Accessing Hangars
Curt reported that we are sending out letters to hangar owners to call the office
and make an appointment to access their hangars for inspection, per a mandate
from City Hall. Curt stated that he is currently inspecting hangars, as calls come
in.
6. Festival of Flight Air Show
Curt reported on a debriefing meeting following the air show. He is uncertain
whether they would close Linden Road next year, as the cost may not be worth it.
He stated that this air show is not listed as a City sponsored event, as is the rodeo.
This may be a possibility, so the police department could do the roadblock.
7. Jan Peterson — Airport Condo Association
When the Airport Condos were first leased in 1994, the lease did not state that it
was renewable after 20 years. In 2014 this lease comes due. The question was
asked as to who will make the decision of whether the lease will be renewable at
that time. This makes it difficult to sell the hangar, as prospective owners are
wary. Hoyt Fleming suggested doing a new lease now using our currently used
format, and terminating the old lease by mutual agreement. Curt will check with
the attorney on this matter.
Another option that was suggested is to have the Condo Association disband and
then have each hangar owner have their own lease.
Hoyt Fleming made a motion for the Caldwell Airport Condominium Association be
allowed to execute the currently used & approved version of our Airport Lease
Agreement, which includes a 20 year term with automatic renewal of another 20
years, within the next thirty days. Mack Kreizenbeck seconded the motion.
Motion passed.
8. Rob Oates introduced Tracey Spencer to the Commission as the new Mayor's
Youth Council representative.
