Airport Authority AgendaCITY OF KALISPELL 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.

The motion was seconded by Haarr. The motion for the amendment carried unanimously upon vote. The motion to adopt the By -Laws carried unanimously upon vote. 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. There was discussion. Nystul asked when the Council might possibly have all the information on Phase I. Krepps said optimistically 9 months, realistically more like 12 to 15 months. The motion carried unanimously upon vote. Nystul moved the Kalispell Airport Authority direct City Staff to proceed immediately with the necessary Ordinance or Resolution to create the Runway Protection Zone and Object Free Areas with the potential of an emergency Ordinance being adopted by the Council. The motion was seconded by Haarr. The motion carried unanimously upon vote. Haarr moved to adjourn. The motion was seconded. ADJOURN The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 p.m. Wm. E.
