AIRPORT AUTHORITY BOARD
Meeting Agenda
May 18, 1998
A. Airport Authority Minutes - March 16, 1998
B. The Airport Authority Agenda includes discussion items submitted by Council member
Nystul. All of these items were discussed at the Airport Advisory Board meeting held on May 13.
The items are:
1. A report by the City Manager, if any, from the direction of the Authority at its last
meeting to prepare ordinances for the protection of the clear spaces around the
Airport.
2. A report by the City Manager on the need for the runway to have a chip seal; the
estimated cost, and recommended time to do it.
3. A report by the City Manager on a fee structure that the Authority can impose to raise
operating revenue.
4. A discussion about the old dump site south of the Airport, presently being trespassed
on, that may be needed for airport expansion.
5. A discussion by the Authority on land acquisition and access issues on the southwest
side of the runway. The intent is to give the Manager direction of tasks to be
accomplished.
6. A discussion of a noise ordinance to respond to a few pilots who enjoy making lots
of noise when they take off.
After discussion with the Advisory Board about these issued, I am sure they will desire to give
input to the Council.
An update on the Fly -In will also be presented by the Advisory Board.

REPORT & APPROVAL OF MORRISON-MAIERLE CONTRACT
Krepps explained the City has completed the independent review
contract which had a differential of 12%, and it has to be less
than 10% Further discussion with the FAA revealed the sub -
consultant fee for the radio tower can be removed from the equation
along with the cost for the DBE Plan which then reduces the cost by
$1,291. with the reductions, he said the City is looking at a
total contract amount of $169,000 instead of $173,000 which is a
$9,551.00 adjustment. After this adjustment, the differential is
8.8% which is within the window we can work with. Krepps said Phase
I is $46,409.00. Phase I will determine whether we can have a B-1
or B-2 rating. He said to move ahead, approval is needed for
$46,409.00 for Phase I and $81,400.00 for Phase II. Phase II may
or may be completed depending on the first phase study results.
Larson moved the Kalispell Airport Authority authorize the City
Manager to sign the contract with Morrison-Maierle. The motion was
seconded by Scarff.

information on Phase I.

15 months.

proceed immediately with the necessary Ordinance or Resolution to
