Motion approved by unanimous consent.
Citizen Comments:
None
Updates and Reports:
• FBO Update (Phillip Wolford)
None
• Airport Manager Update (Michael Doi)
o Regional Airport: Will try to call for an update.
o RC Event – Still waiting for a response from FAA/IDOT
o Project updates
o Parking Lot Project: Still at a standstill – waiting on a response from IDOT Aeronautics.
o Fuel Island Project: Hung up on cost. $1 million budgeted, bids came back at $1.4 - $1.5
million. Will send out to bid again and hopefully get more bids at a lower cost. They feel
a 15,000 gallon tank is needed as opposed to a 10,000 gallon tank.
o Airport Layout Plan: Contract was approved by IDOT and received today.
• Airport Maintenance Update (provided by Michael Doi)
o Repp asked for ruts from plowing to be filled in.
o AWOS system – parts are hard to find since it’s so old.
o Moving airport fence – will contact Howe’s for a price.
Old/Tabled Business:
• Status – IDOT inspection from September 2023 has safety zones and trees left.
• Purchase of AED (defibrillator)
o Aaron Repp through the Experimental Aviation organization put together a fund raiser and they
have raised $1800 so far for the AED. They are hoping to get a system that will interface with
GHAS but those models may be priced closer to $2400 instead of the original cost of $1800.
• Event SOP form discussion – FAA was contacted in February, still no response. 286 days approximate
response time.
New Business
General Discussion of Other Airport Related Topics:
• Hangar Construction
o Dean Maupin has not gotten back to Mike Doi.
o Bill Hurley asked what role our Corporation Council is playing when working on the private hangar
construction/business terms. Does the City have contract review measures or standards?
Next Meeting: May 16, 2024, at 3:00 p.m., International Stearman Community Center, Stearman building,
second floor.
