City Manager Briefing NotesWool -a Background Airport is 75 years old Never been professionally managed until now. Passed from Department to Department in City. Nothing more than a grass strip, no parking ramp, no FBO on field. No security, fencing Obsolete fighting system Airport Advisory Board Council appointed themselves as an Airport Authority. Council and Mayor appointed an Advisory Board to run the airport. No Money No authority December, 1999 disbanded Authority and the Board December, 1999 made the airport a department of the City under Manager Suggested the City Manager appoint his own advisory committee. No formal action for four year. Secretary ran the committee Hired City Airport Manager by contract Funding The budget for years was, whatever you collect you can spend on the airport. Forced to fund a runway overlay in the early 1990's Two years ago when land was sold and money put in an Airport Fund, the airport got the interest off the money for operations and maintenance. With a carry over of interest money, and projected collections, the 2004 budget is $59,000. Of those funds, $24,000 is for the managers part-time contract. Since half of the Airport Funds have been spent on land acquisitions, the interest money won't be there next year. We need to continue using airport TIF money whenever possible and make sure the next land sale to Whitefish Credit Union puts more money into the Airport Fund. No money will be coming from the FAA until the KGEZ radio towers are mitigated, or removed. We can not buy all the land we need without FAA assistance, we will run out of money. If the towers don't ever come down, we can not be in the hole to far. Phase I can be completed without the towers coming down. And we can live with that for years to come. It is not the ultimate airport, but it would be 10 times what we now have. Current Status No security east, south and west. No ramp space. All aircraft are tied down in the grass. No taxiways to •. areas. No •' on the airvQM.-nQ-qvu�fment for mowing, snow removi No • funding • I Future Plans Phase I No FAA funding to complete Phase 11 Will depend on tower removal and 95% FAA funding Phase III Will depend on completion of Phase 11 and FAA funding Airport industrial park or business park.

Box 1997, Kalispell, NIT 59903 In 1997 the City Council appointed themselves as an Airport Authority as defined under Title 67, Chapter 11, MCA. This proved not to be an effective way to manage the airport operations. The Council had established an Airport Advisory Board to advise them on what they thought thaphould do. This proved to be an unworkable situation. By Resolution 4523, the City Council dissolved their Airport Authority status and dissolved the Airport Advisory Board. By this same Resolution, they made the Airport a Department of the City of Kalispell subject to the direction and control of the City Manager. 01 This Resolution also stated that the City Manager, by code, had the authority to appoint elo ?n advisory conunittee to aid the City Manager in directing the operations of the Kalispell 1�6 J/ City Airport. 1"- =1U-TTL-J 7,71ger wj�;Po " W4471-A-OWTIT prfr- =17 ATL 7�77ULTOAW. OT", City Airport. The duties and function of this committee has not been spelled out. There are no bylaws or organizational structure to this body. They have elected a chairman from their membership but no other officers. The question arises as to what is expected of the advisory committee. Since they are not appointed by the Mayor or the City Council, are they deemed a Board? Should they be an advisory committee to the Airport Manager. Should they elect a Vice Chairman, Secretary, etc. Should they pass resolutions, should they make motions, etc. What is the definition o Board. I They are suppose to be an advisory committee to the City Manager, but the City Manager very seldom attends a meeting.

PLAN NORTH END UTILITIES a.aoa�nsar-�+ Preliminary Report to the 0 -u-I% Airport Advisory od �i The City Airport is a portal to the city of Kalispell, and with the new improved 4 lane Hiway it is time to improve and upgrade the 75 year old airport. With a full time Airport Manager now on board it is time to create a Master Plan. The first step is to give it a new name. The name suggested: Kalispell Air Park or Kalispell Executive Air Park. By - giving the airport a new name the city of Kalispell plans to highlight its metropolitan location, create a new identity for the airport and emphasize its convenience and availability to smaller aircraft, while relieving traffic at Glacier Park International. In visiting with our Airport Manager, he suggested that we might want to wait until spring to approach the council for approval of the new name, more will be achieved by then. But with Fred's recent achievements and the great story in The Daily InterLake on Sunday January 2, maybe now's the time. With new businesses emerging on the southern corridor of 93 the Air Park will be even more business friendly. The City Airport like many other smaller airports is in close proximity to residential neighborhoods which are impacted by either noise and/or overflights. There are noise reducing flying techniques that without much effort, can be applied by pilots which would make a dramatic difference. Overflights of residential areas should be avoided unless absolutely necessary for safety reasons. Secondly, the airspace between the aircraft and the ground is not only the pilots best friend, but increasing the altitude will decrease the noise impact. Along with implementing a Master Plan the Air Park will need a business plan to reflect the growth explosion in Flathead County. Attached is the table of contents of the Airport Master Plan for Hayward, California. This is a voluminous piece of work reflecting the needs of a much larger facility. In reading through the sections there are vast differences between their needs and our needs. But, perhaps some can be scaled down. Should we consider Navigational Aids and Instrument Approach Procedures? The committee will need some direction from the City Manager as to how far we should go in creating a Master Plan.
