1. Minutes of October 2019 Airport Commission Meeting
Motion was made and seconded to accept the October 2019 Minutes. Motion passed.
2. Audience Participation (Items Not on Agenda)
Stan Siewert had delivered the Nampa-Caldwell EAA Chapter, EAA103 letter prior to
our commission meeting. Stan mentioned the cost comparison between a normal
household storage facility's cost and the cost of renting a hangar, at the Caldwell
Airport, is significantly different. He states the EAA Chapter feels this is why the
Caldwell Airport has a large amount of hangar policy abuse.

Stan suggested the airport work further on rectifying supply and demand.
Kim stated we are making a concerted effort to collect tail numbers of based aircraft at
Caldwell Airport by phone and mail.
