2. Airport Improvement Program —Toby Epler
Toby Epler reported on the upcoming runway rehab project. He recently met with the
FAA regarding this project, and discovered that we are unable to open bidding on it until
all the funding from FAA is available. Hopes are to bid in January. In answer to a
member's question, Toby stated that the total projected cost for this project will be
about $2.5 million.
3. Building Standards Review — Rob Oates
The Building Standards/Guidelines sheet that the Caldwell Airport currently uses was
previously distributed to the Commission Members for review. Rob Oates stated that
while the height requirements and meeting building codes are mandatory, other items
on the sheet are guidelines. Discussion ensued. Greg Swanson suggested the
document be reworked as firm guidelines, and we should check similar documents from
other airports for possible guidance. He volunteered to do some research and bring a
working draft to a future Commission meeting for further discussion.
4. Re-appointment of Commission Member (Kahn)— Rob Oates
Rob Oates reported that Steve Kahn has volunteered and his name will be submitted to
the Mayor for reappointment to Caldwell Airport Commission.

proposed schedule is the same as 2017's, with meetings on the first Thursday of every
month except March, July and November. Motion was made by Greg Swanson to

6. Buildable Lots Update— Rob Oates
Rob Oates reported that four lots have recently been leased by Solid Rock, LLC, to
build a 100' x 100' foot commercial hangar on Dishman.
7. Hangar Break-Ins
Greg Swanson brought up the subject of recent hangar break-ins. Greg suggested that
airport tenants not allow people to follow them through gates, and should use common
sense measures in securing their hangars. He stated that bolt cutters have been used
on padlocks in some of these break-ins, and suggested use of a protective hood over
the padlock to make it more difficult to use bolt cutters. Discussion ensued. Rob stated
that plans are being made, if future budgets allow, to make upgrades to lighted gates
with video surveillance.
