Prebid Walk-through for New Terminal: Jan 5 -10am, Caldwell Police Station, Bid Opening for New Terminal: Jan 12 — 3:30pm, 621 Cleveland 4. Snow Removal Curt explained what has been done so far regarding snow removal, and new plans for further snow removal. We think a loader is being purchased from the city Street Department, for $15,000. It will also need extensive repairs to make it operational. He will have a 5 yard bucket built for the loader, which will reduce the time needed to run the loader. This will not be ready for this year's snow season. This should save the City considerably in operator & rental costs. Mike Reed mentioned that with these heavy snows, it's impossible to keep everyone happy. However, he did mention some issues that need to be addressed in the process of plowing. It was also stated that more gravel is being dragged onto the 0� J�r� Cl�s �l� I�i��at�s - fi��3 11�� 1 c�f 3 _ _ � ramp, which needs to be swept. Curt stated that these issues have already been or will be addressed. 5. Trajen — Ted Hamilton Curt explained that Trajen is a nationally known Fixed Base Operator. Curt stated that he would rather give a local fuel provider first chance, when the time comes to find someone for the other side. Wayne Thiel stated that we should always give local people first chance. Curt stated that, initially, fuel will have to be trucked over from this side to the other side. 6. Avid Building — Executive Meeting Bob McGee stated that this item is a dead issue, since this project has been dropped. The discussion of the executive meeting was reiterated by Bob for the members that were not able to attend that meeting. Mack Kreizenbeck stated that he felt the city needs to come in and bring the building up to code, rather than expect a renter to come in and do so. Curt stated that, at this point, the building is un-rentable. A sugge�tion was made by Marty Koch to sell the building, as is. � Mack Kreizenbeck made a motion to recommend to the Mayor & City Council to get something going on this building, rather than let it sit empty long-term, such as selling it, or having the city come in and bring it up to code. Marty Koch seconded Mack's motion & added that a contact person between the Airport Commission and the city regarding this issue should be appointed. Motion passed. 7. Renewal of Commission Members At the December, 2008 Commission Meeting, Mack Kreizenbeck was incorrectly voted on for reappointment, as his term does not end until December 31, 2011. The Commission Member whose term ended in December, 2008 was Wayne Thiel. Upon discovery of this issue, a poll of the Commission Members was taken via email, and the vote was unanimous in favor of reappointment of Wayne Thiel to the Caldwell Airport Commission. The Caldwell City Council approved the re-appointments of Martin Koch, Wayne Thiel, and Jeff Miller to Caldwell Airport Commission on January 5 The terms for Commission Members Wayne Thiel and Jeff Miller were renewed for four (4) years, and Marty Koch's term renewal was for a three (3) year term. 8.
