RE: Kalispell City Airport - Monk Appraisals / CIPFred, I see in your next email that you received the RFQ I drafted and will review it. I understand we'll hold off on the CIP for now to see what we learn about Stokes. Regarding the appraisal shelf-life, I can offer an opinion, but that would be better answered by an appraiser or the FAA. Generally we start to get squeamish after they are 6 months old and consider them out of date after a year. However, this is really dependent on whether the market is active in the area. If lots of sales are being made or the prices have been recently changing, the FAA may want to at least have the appraisers do an update to their appraisal and review appraisal. I called and discussed this with Gary Gates. He said that if you have been negotiating on these year-old appraisals and can come to an agreement with the landowner they would be ok with that. If the owner balks and says land prices have gone up, the FAA would concur that an update is necessary. In this case if you think land has gone down some, it sounds like Gary would support your appraisals as long as there is a willing buyer and seller. Attached are the 3 most recent Pre-applications for Grant Assistance we have on file. The earlier ones were submitted, but I think you decided not to submit the one dated FY09. However, I think what you are really after though are the amounts from previous projects that you can claim under an AIP in the future. The North End Surfacing Project Final Report shows a final total project cost of $1,454,530.11. This is reflected in the current draft of your CIP in the year 2006. The North End Utilities were not eligible. Other than that, you now have land purchase with exact amounts that were not known on these earlier pre-applications. The actual numbers are listed in the CIP we have been working on with you. Let me know if you were looking for something else.

Everyone thinks the Judge will make his ruling by the end of this week. It ended up a circus, with the attorneys eating Stokes up. They caught him in so many lies that it became a joke. The attorneys I talked with say he is toast. We’ll see. I will believe it when I see the order from the Judge to liquidate him. We need to put together the Scope of Work and send out RFQ’s for the engineering work and a new contract. Gary said to make sure we do this ASAP. Are you working on that project? As soon as we hear on the KGEZ liquidation, we can complete the CIP for the FAA. I will come down to Helena and we can work it up together. In your opinion, when will the Monk appraisal run out. I really want to get this piece of land tied up. Did you ever get into the archives and pull up the grants your predecessor filed with the FAA? There should be two of them. Fred A. Leistiko Airport Manager City of Kalispell P.O. Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59903 406-250-3065 From: Rick Donaldson [mailto:rick@RPA-HLN.COM] Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 2:51 PM To: Fred Leistiko Subject: Kalispell City Airport - Monk Appraisals / CIP Fred, MONK I did receive your appraisal and review appraisal of the Monk property. As I recall, I was going to hang onto this until you found out more following the son-in-law slip-up at the council meeting. I will continue to "sit on it" for now and not forward to the FAA until I hear otherwise. CIP Likewise, I have not done anything recently with your CIP to be turned into the FAA in September because we were waiting to see what becomes of Mr. Stokes. I will be seeing the FAA on other issues and will work with them to see how they want the CIP to reflect your reimbursements and future work. If the Stokes hearing isn't until mid September, we should probably just take our best guess on the CIP items related to that.
