2. Airport Improvement Program —Toby Epler
Regarding AIP-28, Toby Epler reported that the ramp is now back open. The final
painting will occur in approximately 30 days. A portion of the tie-down area will
however remain barricaded for the concrete to cure until mid-week next week.
Toby reported that during the ramp repaving process, they found 112 buried tie-downs
that had to be removed. This added to the time that was required for completion of this
project.
Regarding, AIP-29, design of the rehabilitation of the runway, the survey has been done
and Toby's preliminary report is that the aggregate looks good. The design will be
wrapped up this Fall, with the actual project being slated for 2018. However, it will be
ready for early funding if it becomes available.

5. Buildable Lots Update— Rob Oates

He expects there will be a dramatic increase in interest upon canal relocation.
At the request of a member, a presentation explaining development of land occurring in
the area Northeast of the airport will be presented at the next meeting.
6. Announcements— Rob Oates
• Rob reported that he has found two small hawks on the runway recently.
• The Wildlife Hazard Mitigation Plan has been completed and is currently being
reviewed by Rob Oates. One recommendation of the report would be that future
fencing have 3-4 feet of angled skirt included, which would increase fencing cost
dramatically.
• Gary Gates, our FAA Engineer from Helena will be visiting the airport in the next
few weeks for a project inspection. An email advisory will be sent out prior to
that visit.
• A compromised gate code recently resulted in removal of that gate code from all
gates. In an effort to improve security on the airport, all gate codes will soon be
removed from the gate controllers. Short-term, temporary codes will be issued
as applicable.
• Discussions have begun with Enterprise Car Rentals, endeavoring to facilitate
rental car drop-off & return at Hubler Terminal.
• Rob reported numerous large aircraft that have visited Hubler Terminal recently.
• Rob reported the recent addition of a pull-cart and a bellman's cart to be
available for use by visitors to Hubler Terminal.
• Updated Code of Federal Regulations, recently published, will be referenced
regarding future grants and on-going operations.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:02 pm.
