(REPORT BY FINANCE DIRECTOR - MEETING WITH F.A.A.)
Chairman Dean Dishman asked the City of Caldwell' s Finance
Director, Don Horan, to report on the trip that he took with
the Mayor to Seattle to visit with the Federal Aviation
Administration.
orl Mr. Horan stated that the purpose of going to Seattle was to
clarify what the F.A.A. had in mind for 1977, 1978, and 1979.
The correspondence received from the F.A.A. was very vague
as to amounts of money and of what lands they hoped to acquire.
Mr. Horan further stated that the F.A.A. was very cooperative
and had agreed with everything the City had suggested . The
City Council had agreed to request for the grant application,
the amount not to exceed $252,000.00. This was to extend the
runway 1,800 feet so it could accommodate two engine aircraft
and small jets. The F.A.A. was in agreement with this proposal
and Mr. Horan explained that it would mean acquiring the Goiri
land and a portion of Dorsey Campbell' s land. It was the City' s
intention to begin the acquisition of the land within thirty
days . He also assured the Commission that the extension of the
access road would begin next week and the curb would be put in
next year. They also discussed the new fire engine for the
airport which was still being worked on as the pump wasn' t working
correctly. The painting of the engine was taken care of. One
of the classes at the High School was to do this . There was some
discussion as to where the truck would be kept as it would seem
feasible that it be kept in a heated or well insulated building.
Ain Mr. Horan also explained that they would be bringing domestic
water to the airport soon. They planned to run a line out Linden
It
to the airport. A well would not be constructed until next year.
