2. Airport Improvement Program—Toby Epler
For the second half of AIP-28, the bidding process starts February 16' with bid opening
March 7t". Toby Epler explained that this will be done in two phases—the first third in a
period of 16 days before July 4t", and the second two-thirds in a period of 24 days,
following the 4t".
In response to a question from a member, Toby explained that, during the above work,
the helicopters will use the Hubler apron &terminal for staging their operations.
Toby reported that construction costs should be just under$900,000. A big savings
due to lower fuel prices. They will remove the existing asphalt of the hot ramp area,
material will be added to the existing base, and three inches of new asphalt will be
placed.
Toby reported that AIP-29, design only, is also currently underway—which will be a
rework of the runway.

4. Wall of Fame Committee Report
Barry Everett, Jr. said he received some feedback and suggestions as a result of the
recent article in the Airport News newsletter. He stated he will be reporting after the
committee has met.
5. Buildable Lots Update— Rob Oates
Rob reported that a new lease is in process for another of Calvin Tabor's new hangars,
leaving one yet to be sold of Calvin's four hangars which he recently built.
6. Communication Issues
Al Rice and Steve Kahn brought up communication difficulties between pilots and the
congestion of the radio frequency. Discussion ensued. Rob indicated the Meridian
NDB, as the main issue in separating the frequency with Nampa into two. Rob Oates
will address the issue of self-announcing and communication in the next newsletter.
Barry Everett, Jr. encouraged everyone on the airport to lighten up and communicate
appropriately. He also commended Al Rice and Silverhawk for their ongoing efforts to
resolve difficulties.
7. Announcements— Rob Oates
• Currently, there is no City Council liaison to the Airport, as the previously
designated liaison has resigned from City Council, and a new designee must be
named.
• Ongoing difficulties have been experienced with AWOS. Rob welcomes
notifications from those that find it inoperative, so he can again call the FAA for
servicing. The AWOS equipment is owned and serviced by the FAA, and, when
contacted, prompt response has occurred from the FAA to get it back on line.
However, it seems to not stay fixed. Rob will be reporting the ongoing, repeated
issues, in hopes of a more permanent resolution.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:47 pm.
