Airport Conference Room, Iowa City Airport
Present: Garry Bleckwenn, Caroline Embree, Clyde Peterson, Dick Phipps, and
Jan Redick.
Also Present: E. K. Jones; Elliot Full and Sue Neely of KXIC.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Bleckwenn at 71,30 p.m. Bleck-
wenn announced he received a telegram from the FAA Regional Counsel, Kenneth E.
Guyer, confirming a conversation of May 3 in which he indicated that the Airport
for
includ-
ing
t is eligrant ble to be applicationhandponsor in the contracttwithsLL. R.tederal Kimballaand Associ-
ate both the grant app
Associ-
ates. Bleckwenn distributed copies of State Attorney General Turner's opinion
regarding Airport Commissions. Briefly, the opinion states that any contract
entered into by Airport Commissions are binding in themselves. Ifthe Airport
Commission is abolished, Turner says contracts are still binding
on City
of Iowa City. This is a complete about-face from the previous position.
Bleckwenn notified City Council members Balmer, Neyhauser and Vevera ofthe for
telegram and the Attorney General's opinion. He said he had their app
rovalthe Commission to proceed as sponsor.
Bleckwenn reviewed for Commission members the results of the April 26
r, City Manager Berlin, Mel Jones, Angie
meeting with City Councillor Neuhause
Ryan of the City's legal staff, Paul Keith of the City Planning Commission, and
nt of Kimball and g. The es. The
Jay Haas, Mr. Reeves, and the Vice PresideCit
second revision of the contract was presented at this meeting. Y legal
staff made further revisions, thus the contract is now in its third revision.
Bleckwenn said he thought Kimball and Associates were very cooperative at this
meeting. They made it clear that they won't make a lot of money on this contract,
nd, they expect the Commission to use them as a con -
but hope to break even; asultant in case of expansion. Neuhauser expressed concern over the issue of
all assured that this would be taken care

of. Bleckwenn said in general he felt this is now a better contract. Since
May 12 is the deadline on the extension for submission, the Commission must
approve this contract tonight, and must also activate the grant. Bleckwenn
also said he felt Balmer, Neuhauser and Emil Brandt (of the Regional Planning
Commission) should be kept notified of future meetings of the Commission to

Bleckwenn distributed copies of the third revision of the contract to
members of the Commission for review. He discussed the following changes and
clarifications made at the April 26 meeting in the contract's provisions:
1) The City asked for compliance with the Iowa City E.E.O. Kimball agreed to
this, so it is now included in the contract.
2)Work

look at alternate uses of the land surrounding the airport. 9) The financial
analysis will include examination of all leases the Commission holds and will
provide comment on them. 10) If the Commission is expedient in processing
paperwork to the federal government, Kimball will cooperate with respect to
payment. The Commission has only to sign the paperwork and send it on to the
government. Bleckwenn said he hopes he can do this himself, without calling a
meeting each time. This will only be for work already approved by the Commis-
sion. 11) A certified engineer is -not required for planning studies.
The Commission went over the Contracts, examining the differences between
them and noting places where "Airport Commission" or "Owner" should be sub-
stituted for "City of Iowa City" in light of the Commission's sponsorship.
Bleckwenn asked the Commission to submit names of Attorneys who might be
able to serve as legal advisor for the Commission. He said that the City's
legal staff in effect serves two masters, and therefore the Commission would
be better off with its own advisor. Bleckwenn suggested Bill Meardon and ex -
City Attorney Jay Honohan as possibilities. Embree recommended against Honohan.
Bleckwenn said the City Staff thinks the Commission needs a public hearing
on the installation of remote equipment at the airport. Redick moved that the
next regular meeting of the Airport Commission be a public hearing on the remote
contract with the FAA. Peterson seconded the motion. The motion carried.
There was discussion of the Commission's becoming a sponsor of the contract.
Redick asked whether there would be adverse ramifications. Financially, Bleck-
wenn said, there is no problem. (The $85,000 from DOT is now in the Commission's
account. Bleckwenn wants the Commission to consider investing this money and
not spending it.) Embree asked what the advantages are of being a sponsor.
She said she felt the Commission was better off having had the input from the
City Staff and Council. It was this input which resulted in the better con-
tract, for example. In her view the political ramifications of voting tonight
to become a sponsor would be very great. She said she would favor the contract
as revised, but she is not sure she wants to go ahead with sponsorship without
notifying the City. Bleckwenn reitereated that Vevera, Balmer and Neuhauser
had all given their blessing to initiating the contract under the Commission's
name. He said he was also not sure it would be legal to act contrary to the
Attorney General's opinion and the FAA's wishes. The City Council has no author-
ity to tell the Commission it can or can't undertake the sponsorship. Phipps
stated that he thought the City would be glad to be relieved of the sponsorship
as it would be one less thing for it to handle. He also pointed out that there
is no intent to prevent the City from contributing input. Embree said if there
is disagreement, however, the Commission will have authority and the City will
not. Bleckwenn said he felt the Commission is responsive enough to the needs
of the community that it will not ignore input from any source.
Peterson moved that the Airport Commission act as sponsor for the proposed
Master Plan grant application based on the Attorney General's opinion of May 1
and the telegram from the FAA of May 3. Redick seconded the motion. Peterson,
Phipps, Redick: For; Embree: Against. The motion carried.
