Minutes from November ber 8, 2000 Meeting
The meeting began at 3:45 p.m. Present were: Chris Kukulski, Mike Baker, Craig Kerzman, P. J.
Sorenson, and Kathy Kuhlin (staff), Gib Bissell, and .Keith Robinson. Also present was Phil Porrini
from Robert Peccia and Associates.
Phil Porrini from Robert Peccia and Associates presented some site plans and discussed site selection
criteria. He asked the airport board to fill out a form (attached) noting the importance of each item.
The forms need to be mailed to Phil at least a week before the next meeting. This will cover no more
than five sites.
The Independent Fee Study is due back any day according to Mike. He will contact Crary Gates at
the FAA and, if the fee falls within the ten percent allowable amount, the final contract will be filed.
The FAA will not approve each stage along the way until the entire Environmental Assessment is
completed.
We need to obtain the land in full rather than obtain an easement unless it is a last resort. Phil
requested the electronic versions on the Airport Layout Plan prepared by Morrison--Maierle. we will
locate our copy or request new ones from Morrison-Maierle.
Phil stated that regarding public meetings, the fee amount on task orders includes one informal
meeting and one public meeting. And then up to three meetings at the cost of $ , 5 00 per meeting.
Phil will make those changes on the contract and send there over to us.
The Environmental Assessment will discuss the antennas but the solution does not need to be made
ahead of time. If we can get a clear Environmental Assessment, we have a three year open window
to make improvements.
The meeting was adjourned at 5 : 00 p.m.
The next regular meeting will be Wednesday, December 13, 2000 at 4:00 p.m.
