2. Brian Billingsly — City Planning and Zoning
Brian Billingsly, who was not present at this meeting, had asked Curt if the Airport
Commission would have any issues with the city installing a walking path/biking
path on the East side of the airport, outside the security fence. Mr. Billingsly was
invited to this meeting to explain his request, but was unable to be here.
Rob Oates explained that this would probably be part of a path system that is
being developed throughout the city.
The Commission Members decided to table this issue until Mr. Billingsly can make
a presentation and answer questions.
3. Update on New Terminal
There will be an official Ground Breaking Ceremony this coming Tuesday, May
12 at 2 pm at the building site on Linden. A count of those who will be attending

Myron Tucker, and Airport Manager Curt Hawkins. Shovels will be provided for
those Commission Members who said they would attend.
Mack Kreizenbeck stated that the Hublers will be invited to the ceremony, since

' ' Tom Lemenager mentioned that bids for the paving project were opened on April
29 He stated that they received some very good bids, ranging from a low of
$522,000 to a high of $700,000. He stated that it appears city will be rewarding
the project to Lurre Construction, who does not have previous experience with AIP
construction as a prime contractor.
Mr. Lemenager also informed the Commission Members that the award will
probably include the larger apron which is 300' x 150', and stated that they are
hoping for a start time for construction right after July 4tn
In response to a Commission Member's question, Tom stated that the taxiway to
the terminal will not be lighted but will have reflective markers.
4. Furniture for New Terminal
Curt explained to the Commission Members the configuration of furnishings for the
flight planning room. He asked the board whether the stations should be walk-up
(with a stool, if needed) or stations with chairs.
The consensus of the members was that walk-up stations would be better for a
quick turnaround.
It was also recommended that a sofa and recliner be provided in the pilots lounge,
in lieu of a cot or bed for pilots when they have a long layover.
Mack Kreizenbeck stated that if the city is building a brand new building, for public
perception we need to have decent looking furniture inside.
In response to a question regarding security for access to the new terminal, Curt
reported on a discussion he had with the architect on configuration of card/code
access, limiting access to the terminal from outside, and to the pilots lounge and
flight planning station.
5. Tom Lemenager - Update on Master Plan / Inventory of Airplanes
Tom Lemenager reported that the Master Plan is in the scoping process, and is in
front of the FAA for review. He stated that we're in the contracting process at this
point, and nothing more will be done until this is complete.
Inventory of Planes — This issue came up at the scoping meeting - something
needs to be done to get a firm handle on the number of planes on the airport. This
will be further discussed.
Curt also mentioned the requirement from Larry Osgood for Curt to inspect every
hangar on the airport.
6. Old Avid Building
Curt stated that he discovered the old Avid building was originally built by the city
for Avid Aircraft, and then was rented back to Avid.
Curt informed the Commission Members that to bring the building up to code and
before the building can be rented, there is currently between $6,000 and $7,000 in

' '' work that needs to been done. He stated that Larry Osgood is going to the City
Council for permission to use the contingency fund for this work.
7. Reliever Airport Status
Curt has made inquiries, but has not yet heard back on whether the Reliever
Airport status is beneficial or detrimental to the airport.
Tom Lemenager suggested that the status be kept, unless it is found that there is
a penalty for having such designation.
Curt stated that in reference to the TSA requirements for security — this seems to
be a mute issue at this point.
Tom Lemenager was uncertain as to whether the FAA would even give the option
of shedding the Reliever Airport status.
8. IAMA Meeting
Bob McGee reminded Commission Members of the IAMA Meeting in McCall, May
14 & 15 He and Curt will be attending this meeting and he encouraged others
to attend as well.
9. Air Show
Doug Bergner reported that Nampa Airport has cancelled their air show for lack of
funding, so the Caldwell Airport air show (funded with private dollars) is the only
one in the area. Doug stated that plans are going forward with the air show, and
the FAA paperwork is being wrapped up. He stated there will be three wavered
airspace times: Tuesday, June 2nd, from 7-8 pm, for shooting publicity video
footage; June 5 from 7-9 pm, for a rehearsal/private air show; and on June 6tn
from 11 am - 2pm, for the air show.
