MINUTES APP OVE�C"'' Caldwell Industrial Airport Commission �� r � - �� 4601-4 Aviation Way Caldwell, ID 83605 Date: July 10 2008 Time: 12:00 — 1:00 pm Location: Caldwell Industrial Airport — Office of Curt Hawkins Commission Members Present: Bob McGee, Hoyt Fleming, Phil Fouts, Marty Koch, Mack Kreizenbeck, Rob Oates, Mike Reed, Wayne Thiel, Myron Tucker, Airport Manager — Curt Hawkins, Kathy Schara (Airport Manager's Secretary) Commission Members Absent: Jeff Miller Guests: Jim & Anita Shore, Calvin Tabor, Tom Lemenager (Kimley-Horn), Mike Reed, Fred Ochoa, Dwight Rice Chairman Bob McGee called the meeting to order at 12:00 PM. 1. Minutes of June 2008 Airport Commission Meeting Motion was made and seconded to accept the June 2008 Minutes. Motion passed. 2. Fred Ochoa Project Curt briefly explained Calvin Tabor & Dwight Rice's opposition to this proposal. Calvin Tabor is signed up for four lots in the proposed area, and Dwight Rice is signed up for five lots. Fred Ochoa arrived at the meeting and explained his plans for the project. He stated that his project would allow for more general aviation. He stated that he has a greater market for smaller hangars. Fred said he had received a message from Calvin Tabor, and said he doesn't want to cause anyone any grief. Questions were asked by the Commissioners regarding the width and scope of Fred's proposed taxiway. Fred responded to these various questions. Fred stated that the surface of the proposed taxi lane itself is the same as a road, which is about 25' wide. This would be accessed by a gated entry, and the taxi lane would be built to FAA standards. Tom Lemenager stated that the configuration would need to be run by the FAA for approval. Marty Koch asked if there is any change for the city in the amount of income with this project. Curt stated that it is exactly the same. �u=i _�6iti�� t�i��s - fit't�( 1:��I��C�� i �f � � Calvin Tabor asked Fred how the project would affect him, such as frontage fee. Fred stated that the frontage fee would be the same. Fred stated that the main difference would be that there would be no off-street parking, as would be the case under the current plan. Calvin stated that he had earmarked one of his lots for a drive through, which this plan would not allow. Calvin Tabor feels that he would make more money building big hangars, versus small ones, promoting commercial activity. Dwight Rice asked if the tax assessment would remain commercial. He also asked if you could run a business out of these smaller hangars. Fred explained that he was aiming at small aviation business owners. He feels there is a larger market for small hangars. He said the gated access would provide better security. Bob McGee stated that allowing public access through the gate for business purposes, would probably be a problem with the FAA. Hoyt Fleming stated that since the proposal affects other people who have signed up for lots, he believes these others should have the right to veto the proposed change to the original plat. Mike Reed asked Dwight Rice & Calvin Tabor if this would be a problem to them. Dwight stated that he could probably work around the road versus taxi lane. Calvin stated that according to what he's seen, it would be detrimental to his plans. It was suggested that the proposed plan be sent to the FAA for their input. One commissioner stated that he felt the plan had merits, but that it also had a lot of pot-holes that need to be filled. A motion was made to continue this action until Fred has a chance to go before the FAA with his plan. — Motion passed. 3. Engineer Selection Bob McGee announced that an engineering firm had been selected and approved by the City Council. Kimley-Horn is the new engineering firm for a five-year period, starting October 9, 2008. Rob Oates, City Council representative, stated that the relationship with our present engineering firm, Toothman-Orton, continues until the end of their contract, October 9, 2008. This selection was forwarded to Sandy Simons of the FAA, who has verbally approved it, and will follow up with a hard-copy. Tom Lemenager will be the lead engineer and project manager for Kimley-Horn. Bob McGee mentioned that the need is coming soon to go through the process �7_��i�_:�� ,I� �s;r��a�� — fie��i � i 1 �i2JCi� � �f ,� � again for selection of an engineering firm to complete the new Master Plan. Rob Oates explained some new issues and opportunities that may come into play in developing the new Master Plan. 4. Toothman-Orton — Update on New Terminal There was no representative from Toothman-Orton at the meeting to address this issue. 5. Air shows — Discussion of past and planning for future Curt explained the runway closure procedure during the recent Festival of Flight air show. He stated that the air show was a huge success, and will probably be even larger ne� year. Curt requested Commission input on future air shows. Wayne Thiel liked the idea of having future air shows, but stated that they need to be sure there are no displays blocking access to the front of hangars. Rob Oates stated that the sound system needs to be configured differently. Marty Koch stated that air shows were good from a public relations perspective. He also said it is good to have regular air shows, to develop habit or tradition. One Commissioner stated that the half hour open and half hour closed procedure for the runway was good, as it allowed for minimal disruption of airport business. Another Commissioner suggested there was a need for more vendors. 6. Mack Kreizenbeck Mack asked what had been done to involve the Airport Commission in the budget process. Rob Oates stated that the budget is still in process and that if the Commission wants to look at the budget draft, they may request such from Larry Osgood, Public Works Director. It was agreed that Curt would request a copy of the budget draft from Larry, on behalf of the Airport Commission. Mack also stated that he is on a scholarship committee for a group who is trying to encourage teenagers to fly. A benefactor is willing to provide scholarships. Mack said that if any of the Commission knows of teens who would like to learn to fly, they can refer them to him for an application. Next Airport Commission Meeting: Thursday August 7 2008. The meeting was adjourned at 12:52 PM. �J7 _J�iy�� ;�� L��;�f��A� .. �1r��i F'1� �;2J�� f �
