Master Plan -Approval to Proceed
ADDroval of RF
City Manager Rrepps reviewed the agenda and reported the response
from FAA guided the Airport Advisory Board to a conclusion that the
Master Plan funding be sought from the FAA in terms of 90%. The
estimate of the Master Plan is anywhere from $70,000 to $100,000,
The FAA will pay for 90% of that and the State has indicated that
they may assist in the other 10%. Their indication is possibly the
entire match.
Art Thompson suggested the City consider up to 5 in order to cover
any shortfall in case the State cannot fund the whole 10%.
Krepps noted based upon a 7 month to a year process we would have
time to insert the City's costs into the budget for July 1. It
would be a reimbursement type project. The City would have to
start with the RFQ's, then the RFP's and start the process.
Krepps requested a 1) Commitment for up to 5% of $ Zoo ■ 000 for a
Master Plan for the airport and 2) if so was the Request For
Qualifications acceptable.
Kennedy moved to approve the RFQ and proceed with budgeting for the
Airport Master Plan. The motion was seconded.
There was discussion as to reviewing the by-laws.
The motion carried. unanimously.
Leases and 0her Im rovements
Krepps reported the Advisory Board in discussing the Master Plan
felt the City should put a hold on all leases and other
improvements except for 3 items, 1) Continue with the sale of Haven
Field; 2) Continue with the offering procedure for Daley Field and
3) Continue with the purchase of Mrs. Timmreck's property.
Air ort Manar�er
In the past it was felt to move on as soon as possible but without
a budget at this point for that item and since there won't be
revenues coming in until the completion of the Master Plan, it was
felt it should be put on hold until either budgeted or until- the
K
final Master Plan conclusions are received and or both.
Thompson reported the lease is still in draft stage and the City
Attorney is still working on the proposed lease.
3e also said they would like to see a funding item in the budget
for transfer of airport funds to the Authority to pay for a part
time manager starting as such time as it becomes appropriate.
Thompson requested review of the by --laws as submitted for
modification and consideration.
Kennedy also requested an update at the next meeting concerning the
city owned land located south of the runway, clean up situation.
Rauthe thanked TCI for televising this meeting and all they do for
the city.
