the reserved and transient markings in the tie -down area, this last week.
Regarding the design -only project of the of apron expansion, Toby stated that the
project is 95% done. Rob Oates mentioned that, in regards to this project, survey
crews will be digging for soil samples in the project area during November or
December.
Toby reported on the AIP for 2013, which is the crack - filling & seal- coating of the
runway and parallel taxiway. He stated that the project will be done in three
phases, and gave a preliminary plan as to probable scheduling:
1 5l phase — partially open, using the runway and half of the parallel taxiway
2nd phase — runway closed - will have to be shut down for 4.5 to 5 days
3` phase — partially open, using the runway and half of the parallel taxiway
He stated that they are hoping to do this project early next summer, probably
sometime in June.

Rob Oates stated that they are starting to inform the airport community now for
this project, so tenants and users will have plenty of advance notice to plan
accordingly. More information will be forthcoming as details are available.
Toby mentioned that also included in this 2013 AIP is additional fencing for the
north side of the field.
3. Hangar Security System — Rob Oates
Rob Oates stated that he will include information on the proposed system and
costs involved in the coming November Airport News, requesting feedback to get a
sense of who would be interested in participating. An antenna on top of the Hubler
Terminal would facilitate this system. Barry Everett suggested we wait for input as
to interest before spending money for the antenna.
4. Compliance Issues— Rob Oates
Rob gave an update on compliance issues addressed during the recent FAA
compliance inspection. The September Airport News was dedicated to these
issues.
Rob stated that most of the issues concerned driving and parking on the airport, as
well as "outside storage" of items.
Rob stated that he spoke with or sent letters to several airport tenants. Rob said
most of those have responded accordingly. The upcoming November Airport
News will advise readers that unapproved stored items will be removed.
Rob explained other issues mentioned by the FAA Inspection and detailed what
has been or will be done to rectify said items.
Barry Everett stated that in regard to the driving issues, we may be focusing on
one area too much, and not enough in others.
Boyd Newhouse asked for clarification on some driving issues. Rob encouraged
establishment of new habits and patterns to avoid conflicts with aircraft and ground
vehicles.
5. Lease Rate Adjustment Options — Rob Oates
Rob made an explanation of an option, approved by City Council. The airport will
offer an option to those whose lease rates have increased, due to their lease
adjustments, above the rate that is currently being used for a brand new lease —
should the lease holder choose to exercise this option, they would be allowed to
switch to the new lease format, keeping their current expiration date, and thereby
receive the lesser lease rate.
6. Announcements — Rob Oates
• Notice will be coming in the Airport News that delinquent accounts
receivables are being pursued - past due fees and other options will be
applied, as provided for in lease agreements.

that the person to whom these items belong, please contact him at the
Airport Manager's office.
• Mike Reed suggested that mention be made in the newsletter that refuse
must be placed in dumpsters, to be picked up. Items placed on the ground
outside of the dumpsters will not be collected.
• Rob encouraged use of the on -field businesses, including the Airport Cafe.
He encouraged the airport community to beware of undocumented
accusations and rumors, which can harm other's businesses. He also
suggested that if there is a problem that needs to be addressed, please
report it to the Airport Manager.
• Additional tie -downs will soon be installed by the City next to the city -owned
Upwards Aviation hangar.
• Marty Koch and Wayne Thiel have agreed to accept another four -year term
on the Airport Commission.
