2. Kimley-Horn Report — Tom Lemenager
Tom updated the Commission Members on what he knows regarding the new
terminal building. He stated that, per Ken Frazee of the City Engineering
Department, advertising for bids on the construction of the terminal will begin next
week, and will continue for one month. Bids will open around December 15, and
they hope to start construction after the first of the year. The estimated time for
completion is one year, making the completion date sometime in 2010.
Regarding the taxiway access/apron, Tom stated that Kimley-Horn has been
asked to give the city prices on taxiway/apron access to the terminal. They have
submitted a scope of work and construction costs for that task. He passed out a
rendition of the Kimley-Horn design for airport services, taxi-fanes & a small apron.
Tom stated that construction costs would be around $800,000 for the taxiway and
apron. Kimley-Horn is waiting on subcontract costs in order to give the city their
costs. Their schedule would be to design the apron and taxiway in March or early
April, bid in May, and construct in July.
Regarding the master contract and continuing services, they submitted their
master contract and continuing services to Larry Osgood last Thursday.
Kimley-Horn is proposing to provide land acquisition assistance to the city for the
land that will house the terminal, apron, efic. This land is already purchased and
Kimley-Horn would assist the city in trying to get reimbursed by the FAA in FY'09.

This service would provide the city with an FAA Application, a Land report, and an
updated ALP (Airport Layout Plan).
The city has already accomplished the appraisal, review appraisal, environmental
and purchase of the land.
Tom stated that the city is building the taxiways and apron without federal funds
because the FAA will not take part in any developmental project on the northeast
side of the airport until the airport completes a master plan.
Mike Reed had a question regarding the need for a turn-around on the apron.
Tom mentioned that the initial size of the apron will be extremely small due to
minimal funds. He did state that eventually it will be expanded, as FAA funds
become available.
Phil Fouts asked a question regarding relocation of the canal. Tom said they are
leaving the canal as is, and providing a culvert and walking bridge for foot traffic
access to the terminal.
Hoyt Fleming requested an update of the terminal design for the Commissioner
Members. Curt will try to get this from Ken Frazee.
3. Update on Airport Master Plan
Curt gave an update on the selection process for a firm to do the new Master Plan.
The committee chosen to do this consists of Curt Hawkins, Phil Fouts, Rob Oates,
Bob McGee, and Brent Orton. Curt stated that they have met together and
received the proposals from the six applicants. They will review and study these
materials individually and then meet again within the next 10 days to 2 weeks to
make a decision.
Curt listed some of the criteria the committee is looking for in making their
decision.
Curt also mentioned that Bob McGee put a lot of effort into creating a detailed
grading sheet & score sheet for the committee to use in this process and should
be highly commended for this.
4. Update on Flight Guide re: helicopters
Curt reported the flight guide has been changed, taking out the phrase that the
"outer taxiway is for helicopters only". He stated that the FAA form change is still
in process. He also said Air Nav listed our airport as having only 148 aircraft and
Curt explained to the Commission Members where this erroneous figure was
derived, and that he is trying to get that changed.
Greg Swanson made a suggestion on how to change the Air Nav information,
using an email address. He will provide that information to Curt, who will follow
through.

5. Old Business
Phil Fouts asked for a vote on the previous discussed requirement that new
hangars at the airport have a gabled roof. After a short discussion, a motion was
made by Mike Reed and seconded by Wayne Thiel, that a gabled roof be required
on all new hangars at the airport. A 2/12 pitch is recommended, but may vary, due
to the size of the building. Motion passed. .
6. Introduction
Curt introduced Bob Basham and Sherry Kandle from White Cloud Aviation. They
will be running a general maintenance shop located on Dishman Place. The
Commission Members welcomed them to the airport.
7 • Question
Referencing the recent Airport newsletter, Wayne Thiel asked the question as to
the ramifications of lessees not paying their leases. Curt informed the
Commissioner Members that 60-day notices will be sent from the attorney in such
cases.
Next Airport Commission Meeting: Thursday, December 4 2008. Lunch
will be provided for Commission Members, as done each year at Christmas
time.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:45 PM.
