7. Announcements — Rob Oates
• Rob Oates pointed out that Taxiway C ends at Taxiway J and that extending C
across Dauntless and Dishman may be possible, if we can get the project
designed and into the city's budget cycle. The city would design and build using
FAA taxiway specs so that the new asphalt would be eligible for on-going
maintenance, under the FAA Grant Program. More info will be provided when
this project gets closer to construction.
• Al Rice asked how we can obtain our taxi lane names on airport maps.
• Chris Marshall suggested placing the map on our webpage and the Airport Café
building.
• Rob Oates stated we are a general aviation airport, which makes this process
more difficult. Rob offered to place a map within our monthly Newsletters.

Caldwell and Nampa.
