He mentioned taxiing difficulties some aircraft have had, and asked about the
vision for the airport regarding accommodating larger aircraft.
Rob Oates explained that recent design elements have been for accommodation
of larger twin engine prop planes and jets. The narrower taxi -lanes on the airport
are in the oldest section of the airport, and were designed in the early days of the
airport. Rob also referred to the direction of our Master Plan. Toby Epler stated
that all taxiways in the newer section of the airport and all future taxiways are and
will be the wider taxiways.
Greg Swanson suggested fire extinguisher stations be made available for use in
case of accidents /emergencies. Barry Everett, Jr. stated that these should be out
near the runway. Rob Oates stated that he would look into this idea and bring
information to the next meeting.
6. Security Project — Rob Oates
Rob Oates reported that a private network WI-Fi antenna has been installed on the
terminal building and testing has begun.

Montana FAA District Office, will be coming to the Caldwell Airport the
second week of August for a "getting acquainted" visit.
• The segmented circle repair & update has been completed. It can now be
seen from the air at a much greater distance.
• The Airport Cafe kitchen flooring has been replaced. We are currently
finalizing selection of a contractor for the painting of the cafe building, and
another for replacing the existing deck.
The house at 4510 Aviation Way will also be painted, and other repairs and
rehab work have and will be done to prepare it for future use.
9. Mack Kreizenbeck requested the floor.
Mack stated that as an advisory board, the Commission should be more informed
and feels that they should be kept in the loop. He cited various recent decisions
that he didn't know about beforehand.
Barry Everett, Jr. stated that he feels a sense of uselessness. He wants the
Commission to be more important.
Marty Koch stated that this is the first he had heard about these complaints, and
he hoped that the Commission doesn't need to know every specific; that the day to
day running of the airport is the reason we have a manager. He stated that he
feels the Commission's purpose is for philosophical direction.
Further discussion followed.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:29 PM.
Next Airport Commission Meeting: September 5 2013 at noon
