[0:03] regular meeting of February 8th at 8:00
we are in session. I don't see anybody
[0:08] here for public comments. We'll move
into the minutes of January 28th.
[0:15] » All good. I'll make a motion.
>> I have a motion.
[0:19] » Second
>> and a second.
[0:21] Any discussion on the minutes?
Hearing none. All those in favor?
[0:27] » Opposed? Motion carried.
Moving on to the financial statements.
[0:33] Anything uh to highlight there, Kyra?
[0:38] » Um I don't believe so. I did just get
one more bill in this morning if we want
[0:44] to add that uh for Kennedy Electric in
the amount of $1,29848.
[0:52] And I'm assuming that 11,000 something
to Shannon's was for them to fix that
[0:57] correct sewer system.
[1:06] » I still stand with the motion.
>> Yeah, we have a motion to approve the
[1:09] financials.
>> A second.
[1:12] » And we have a second
>> to include the Kennedy
[1:14] » to include the additional
>> Yep. Okay.
[1:18] » Okay.
>> Any more discussion hearing? None. All
[1:22] those in favor?
>> I
[1:24] » opposed. Financials are carried.
>> Engineers report. You're up. Chelsea,
[1:30] » good morning everyone. How are you doing
today?
[1:33] » Good.
>> Good morning, Chelsea.
[1:35] » Good. I got sunburned yesterday down
here in Texas. So,
[1:41] » throw that in there. There's [laughter]
a blizzard here.
[1:45] » Yeah. Oh, big time. Yeah.
>> Sorry about that. [laughter]
[1:50] She looks so
[1:54] [snorts]
>> All right. Well, we'll get started.
[1:56] We'll start with the transient hanger.
Um, so the grant we have a grant request
[2:04] letter uh that Bindot is asking for. So
this is a the heating component is not
[2:10] federally eligible with the IGA funding.
So the heating and insulation we are
[2:17] asking the state to uh uh look into that
and and support that part of the
[2:23] transient hanger. Obviously up there you
want heating and insulation because it
[2:28] is cold. So we have a uh grant request
letter that we're submitting to the
[2:33] state that Brian has to sign. I don't
know if we have to have approval for
[2:36] that, but it essentially is um we'll
submit to them and hope that they
[2:41] respond that they will support the
heating and insulation of the transient
[2:45] hanger.
>> Okay.
[2:48] » Do we need approval for that?
>> I think they approved it last month to
[2:52] for for a letter.
>> Yeah, I thought we were good with that.
[2:56] » Okay. All right. It sounds good.
>> That's not the one I signed yesterday,
[3:00] is it?
No, that was uh that was the FAA
[3:03] provisions that were including the
complex. So, I will send this one to
[3:07] Brian. I have it prepared um for
signature and we'll get that sent to the
[3:11] state. Um as far as schedule goes for
that one, uh we'll have 60% plans in
[3:18] mid-March for it. Uh we have been
meeting with Dora's team uh to do a
[3:22] little bit of, you know, design and
figure out some of the areas and things
[3:26] that are in the way and uh trying to
work through that. And we're also
[3:30] working through the size of the building
um and working with the building
[3:35] inspector on that.
>> Thor is that
[3:40] » excuse me. Is that why they were had did
checking the ground?
[3:44] » Correct. Yeah. Doing the borings with
Okay.
[3:49] » See how the boring
>> the borings were completed and the
[3:52] survey.
>> Okay. Good.
[3:53] » Green County need a permit for that to
build that
[3:57] » building permit. I think we're working
on that with the building inspector
[4:00] right now. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Eventually this um so we're
[4:03] just in preliminary like we're just in
design right now. So the 60% plans will
[4:07] be completed by mid-March and 90% will
be made. Uh the construction for this
[4:12] project is not until spring of 2027.
>> Yeah. See
[4:18] » very good.
>> Any questions on the transient hanger?
[4:23] » No.
Uh, I have no updates for the GA apron
[4:27] reconstruction and runway 422 project
that we are just waiting on that spring
[4:32] warranty inspection. So, we'll have an
inspection with KGM in the spring and
[4:36] then we'll pay that uh final retainage
to them uh and hopefully close that
[4:41] project out early spring.
[4:47] For equipment acquisition, we have been
pushing on the the ramp plow. Uh and it
[4:54] does appear that they have given us a
date of mid-March now. So first it was
[5:01] » you might get to use
>> might. Yeah.
[5:04] » Big big might. [laughter]
>> Big might. Yeah.
[5:09] » Um I don't know if you have any other
updates on that, Thor.
[5:12] » No, that's it. Uh yeah, that and that
and um uh and and we still haven't
[5:17] received our pickup yet, which was
supposed to be um yesterday, I think,
[5:21] and then they changed. They were
concerned about the storm, and I said,
[5:24] "It's 100 miles. It's him being boys." I
said, "Drive and drive back." So, we
[5:27] we'll see.
We're hoping. Yeah.
[5:31] » There you go.
>> Yeah. And on the um on the pickup truck,
[5:35] so I did not include a pay application
for that, but I was hoping that we could
[5:39] get that approved today. Um that would
so that one was funded uh supported by
[5:45] MIDOT. It's a MDOT state grant request.
Uh so they you would have a 30% share of
[5:51] that. Um the total for it is
uh $70,9046.
[6:01] That would be the total pay application
amount.
[6:07] » So do we have a motion for that?
I'll make that motion.
[6:12] » We have a motion. Is there a second? And
a second
[6:15] » for the 71,000 with the 30% match from
city county.
[6:23] Any discussion?
All in favor?
[6:27] » I
>> opposed. All right.
[6:31] » On that,
>> if I may. Yeah, it's it's it's
[6:35] » we need it yesterday cuz the one we're
running right now we're
[6:39] » it's done. [laughter]
>> It's been used. Yes, we're I'm happy to
[6:43] say that.
>> Say again.
[6:47] » I didn't say that. [laughter]
>> And it is painted yellow.
[6:51] » Yes, true.
[6:54] » Moving right along, Chelsea.
>> Yeah. So, with that, thank you for that.
[6:58] Um, I'll get that pay application pulled
together for Brian's signature and we'll
[7:01] get that sent to um Bob at and get him
get him on so we can get the truck as
[7:06] quickly as possible. That does include
um radios that is was considered
[7:12] eligible and quite a few other things
that we fought uh the state for. Um but
[7:17] the one thing that they did not consider
um state eligible was a remote start and
[7:22] additional fog for $752. So that portion
of that 70,000 is locally funded by
[7:28] itself. Just throwing that out there.
[laughter]
[7:32] Not sure why, but got to deal with it.
[7:38] All right. Any questions on any of the
equipment acquisitions?
[7:45] Electric uh gate, the automatic gate
installation. So we are working on a
[7:50] design for that project. that 90% review
will be planned for March. The uh
[7:56] essentially this is the two gates that
uh were um in the part 139 inspection
[8:02] that were flagged uh as not being
adequate or to their standard. So, we're
[8:08] we're planning on putting in two
vertical lift gates. Um so, there will
[8:12] be no no rolling mechanisms, but it
there'll be the vertical lift gates and
[8:16] that'll be at the Crescent Drive
entrance and right by Thor's. So, we're
[8:20] working with Thor's team on kind of some
of the design elements for that and he's
[8:24] provided us some measurements. Thank
you, Thor. And, uh, we also are working
[8:29] with the part 139 inspector to
determine, you know, what the heights
[8:32] requirements are for the 1x4s and and
things like that. So, any questions with
[8:38] that?
>> Nope.
[8:41] » That construction will be planned this
summer.
[8:43] » Perfect.
>> We also have a beacon replacement
[8:46] project that uh we've been working with
team on. Uh the decide is underway for
[8:50] that same schedule as the electric gate.
We'll have a 90% review discussion in in
[8:54] March. Um and that's to replace the
beacon that is out there now to one of
[8:58] those tip down ones. So we don't have to
climb up and replace the bulb. It tips
[9:02] down. It's it's kind of a nice setup. So
that'll replace the foundation
[9:08] » the new beacon.
>> Nice.
[9:10] » It'll be it'll be a good act. So
that construction is also in summer of
[9:15] 26. So any questions on that?
>> Nope.
[9:20] All right. Uh, runway 1331
reconstruction phase 4. So, I think at
[9:25] the last meeting we did talk about how
this project uh with the reimburseable
[9:31] agreements that it kind of pushes things
out. So, it will be constructed either
[9:37] 2027 or 28 um with it bidding next
spring. Um, so we did have an FAA
[9:44] discovery meeting for that they and had
a discussion, you know, on how the
[9:49] resident engineer, which is something
that the FAA provides when there's FAA
[9:53] equipment located in the area during
construction, they have to have someone
[9:57] on site. We saw this during phase uh two
and three of uh the runway projects. So,
[10:03] they have to have someone on site to
observe the construction around their
[10:06] equipment. Um, so we did have a
discussion with them and we're planning
[10:10] for a 10day
uh resident engineer on site. So that
[10:14] would be around those malls and bars,
the papy um and anything that is, you
[10:21] know, their equipment in that area. But
we'll plan to do all of the construction
[10:25] around their equipment uh during 10
days. So that's kind of the plan for
[10:29] that. We did have that meeting and there
is some grading corrections that need to
[10:34] happen in the ILS critical area. Uh so
that would then generate another flight
[10:40] check. So from that meeting, that's kind
of what came from that. There was one
[10:44] other thing. They do want us to correct
the grading past the blast pad on the
[10:50] runway 13 end. So that's the end that we
did during phase one. So all of that
[10:56] pavement has been redone, but we did not
go past um the blast pad and do any
[11:01] correct corrective grading at that time.
So from this uh last meeting with the
[11:06] FAA, they have requested that we include
that grading to correct it to RSA FAA
[11:12] standards in that last 1,000 ft um pass
for the runway end. So that will also be
[11:18] included in this project. Now
[clears throat]
[11:21] any [snorts] questions on any of that?
>> Lots of information.
[11:28] » Well done. Um for the state projects,
the terminal improvements have all been
[11:33] completed. That was the security
upgrades uh that uh Brothers Fire and
[11:39] Security did.
>> So to my knowledge, it's all been
[11:42] completed. Have you Has everything been
working well?
[11:44] » Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, we're in the
process as we speak learning the new the
[11:49] new camera systems, but yeah, we're
getting there. It's I mean the cameras
[11:52] are the same. It's just the software is
funky.
[11:56] » Okay, sounds good. Um, so that has a pay
application that I believe that you
[12:02] approved in the financials, but that
that was for an amount of 60,381
[12:08] and that's at that 70% 30% split from
the state.
[12:17] Um, for COP updates, uh, we've gone
through those quite a bit, but the one
[12:22] that is coming up, when did you say that
ASOS was going to be installed?
[12:26] » Yeah. Uh we're anticipating starting the
project in June.
[12:31] » Okay, great. So I think we'll there is
some uh obstruction removal with that
[12:37] new ASOS location. With the new one,
it'll be it'll be limited. It's a lot
[12:42] less than where it is now. Um but we
will uh prepare a proposal uh in the
[12:47] next couple meetings for that project so
that we can get that obstruction removal
[12:51] completed for that ASOS to work
properly. [clears throat]
[12:57] Okay.
>> And then uh any upcoming meeting dates?
[13:00] We have a mindot FAA coordination
meeting on March 12th. That's our next
[13:05] meeting with the FAA. Uh so feel free to
join if you'd like.
[13:11] » Very good.
>> Any any questions for me?
[13:15] » No.
>> All right. That is all I have this
[13:19] morning.
>> Very good. Thank you. Thank you,
[13:21] Chelsea.
Take care of that sunburn.
[13:25] » Yeah, [laughter]
>> but keep the smile you have there. Keep
[13:30] the smile.
>> You got to keep that smile though.
[13:32] » There you go.
[cough]
[13:38] » Old business.
[13:42] » Entrance sign looks. It's done. Uh,
credit to Mr. Matar with the beautiful
[13:48] new lettering there. It's a It's a
greater It's a better contrast
[13:51] particularly at night. It looks better
at night. It's very reflective. Yeah,
[13:54] we'll we'll do the the uh landscaping
obviously when the when the when the
[13:58] frost goes away. So, we'll be back on
target.
[14:00] » Plant those thistles back in there
again. [laughter]
[14:04] » Only if you're going to pluck them.
>> I can I always thought about the person
[14:07] who designed it. Why would you put
those? Yeah, exactly. Keep the kids out
[14:11] of the way.
[14:18] New business title six resolution
approval. Do you have that in the packet
[14:26] somewhere?
That's just something FA is requiring of
[14:31] us. Correct.
>> Yes, it is. Um I had to complete a
[14:34] survey and in the survey I checked one
of the boxes incorrectly. So this is the
[14:39] result of that.
I guess I wouldn't say it incorrectly,
[14:43] but [laughter]
>> I checked that it we did not have this
[14:48] in place. So, um I had to create a
>> plan and put together a number of
[14:56] different documents to go along with
this. Um and then I've got a sheet that
[15:03] will be posted in the the hallway that
just kind of explains non-discriminatory
[15:09] stuff. So,
Just one of the boxes that we got to
[15:13] check. So
>> that's right.
[15:15] » Good job, Kyra. She's being kind. I
better reflect to you.
[15:19] » Very good.
>> Mhm.
[15:20] » Is there a motion to approve it?
>> I so move.
[15:22] » We have a motion. Is there a second and
a second to approve the title six? Any
[15:27] discussion?
Hearing none. All in favor?
[15:30] » I opposed.
>> That motion's approved.
[15:37] Manager's report.
>> Yeah. quick uh you Chelsea and Kyra
[15:41] covered most of most of my agenda. Yeah.
One thing that she mentioned about the
[15:46] new ASOS system can't happen early
enough. We were down again last week and
[15:50] and uh what happens is that the current
system fails and without you have to
[15:54] have a certified weather observer to to
provide information to the airline
[15:57] whether the party Minneapolis or even if
they're on the ground here and it's just
[16:01] totally crazy. can be crystal clear day
as it was in perfect conditions, but by
[16:06] legal definition, the pilot, the captain
can't walk on the wrap and go, "Yeah,
[16:09] the weather's good." They need a report.
So, it just adds another step and it's
[16:12] not always delicate. So, that that's a
really good great project. All these
[16:16] parts are great, but that one is really
essential. So, we're looking forward to
[16:19] that.
>> Um, yeah, just going along. Projects are
[16:23] going along well. Very thankful that the
that the weather forecast was off
[16:28] currently in Seattle, so it's good.
They're normally inaccurate with the
[16:32] amounts on on on the higher higher
higher rates, but this time we're on the
[16:37] low rate. Been looking at that low
pressure coming across. I think we're
[16:40] we're in much better shape than they
predicted us to be and we'll have a
[16:43] little bit of wind issue, but we're good
and keep pushing. Thank you.
[16:46] » All right. Super, super. Thank you.
>> New DI truck.
[16:50] » Yeah. today conference call with the
with the team and I'm going to put this
[16:55] put the uh I'm going to put uh shall we
say a little more heat under him today
[16:59] and we'll we'll get it done.
>> Yeah, I'm done messing. I'm probably
[17:03] rephrase that.
>> Yeah,
[17:05] » today's the day. Yeah. Yeah, we'll go
with that.
[17:08] » Whatever.
>> We may have to do a rough thing again.
[17:10] What? Okay. I'm not sure why that takes
that, but who knows?
[17:15] » I personally like to open buckets. So,
>> me too. Anyway,
[17:21] » we'll light them up.
>> It's just the fact that it's a brand new
[17:25] truck.
>> Oh, it's absurd. And Biji's having the
[17:28] exact same issue. Identical.
>> Yeah.
[17:31] » Yep.
>> Send [snorts] them over.
[17:33] » Yeah.
>> Yeah. Right on.
[17:36] » Yeah. They they haven't quite got
clarity. I'm hoping today they get
[17:39] clarity.
>> Okay.
[17:40] » And I don't like doing that. I really
don't. I But yeah, it's the way you
[17:43] need.
>> They'll get it fixed. We'll be
[17:45] » right.
>> Start it for next season.
[17:47] » Yeah. It makes it difficult when you
talk to people and they make promises
[17:51] and you and you keep giving them a
chance and you want to work with them
[17:54] and you try and then
>> that means our warranty doesn't start
[17:58] till next year, right?
>> That is correct.
[18:00] » Right on.
>> Yeah. So, we'll make double sure we're
[18:03] in that window, but
>> yeah, we're we're going to get really
[18:06] active here. So,
>> Okay. Thanks.
[18:08] » Thank you, Tara. What do you have for
us?
[18:12] » Uh employments are in the packets. Uh we
were up again last month over last year
[18:18] which is yet another good sign that each
year they continue to
[18:22] » increase
>> increase.
[18:23] » There's been quite a few car testers
>> definitely
[18:27] » more than usual coming.
>> Yeah.
[18:29] » Mhm.
>> Which is which is good.
[18:33] » Excuse me.
Um, and then the only other thing I have
[18:37] in the packets is uh an email from Betty
of the city in regards to um
[18:46] the legislation and land use committee
uh who is requesting a meeting with the
[18:51] airport commission members to discuss
annexation of the airport property that
[18:56] is not within city limits. Uh, the
requested meeting
[19:03] would be Monday, March 2nd at 400 p.m.
it looks like.
[19:12] » Put that on your calendar.
>> No,
[19:17] » I'll be out of town for that. But I
>> I'll be here.
[19:20] » But I've expressed my
>> Okay. thoughts on it. So far as you
[19:24] know,
>> I don't see any reason not to.
[19:28] » Makes sense to do it,
>> right?
[19:30] » You know, to help get water to our
hangers, right?
[19:33] » Those kind of things.
>> Yeah.
[19:37] » Yeah. We've proved it before here at
this.
[19:40] » Yes, we have.
>> Stable.
[19:41] » Yeah.
>> The goal.
[19:44] » So hopefully it moves forward. So yeah,
good.
[19:50] » Anything else, Kyra?
[19:54] Nope.
>> Any other business
[19:59] other than next meeting date?
[20:08] » Getting better. Well,
[20:13] » uh,
looks like the last Wednesday would be
[20:18] March 20th.
[20:23] March what?
>> 25th.
[20:25] » 25th.
>> Five or six. 25 26.
[20:29] » 25 is a Wednesday.
>> Thank you.
[20:36] » How does that look for them?
>> Will that work, Charles, for your team?
[20:40] March 25 at 8 a.m.
>> It does. Yep.
[20:43] » Thank you.
>> All right. I [clears throat] got it my
[20:48] calendar.
There's nothing else to come before us,
[20:51] so I'll adjourn the meeting. Thank you
every
