MINUTES
IOWA CITY AIRPORT COMMISSION
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 13, 2003 — 5:45 P3L
IOWA CITY AIRPORT TERMINAL
MEMBERS PRESENT: Baron Thrower, Randy Hartwig, John Staley
STAFF PRESENT: Sue Dulek, Ron O'Neil
CALL TO ORDER:
Chairperson Thrower called the meeting to order at 5:45 p.m.
APPROVAL OF NIINUTES:
O'Neil said the "Members Present" in the minutes was not correct and would be changed. The
minutes of the October 9, 2003, Commission meeting were approved with the correction.
REVIEW OF EXPENDITURES:
Thrower asked O'Neil to explain the monthly billing process to Staley. O'Neil said that the bills
are paid as they are received during the month if it is money that has been included in the annual
budget. If there is a bill that is questionable, O'Neil said he might hold the bill and discuss it with
the Commission. He said the list of expenditures is more of a briefmg of the past month's actions
as it is a request for approval.
O'Neil said the last bill listed is a partial payment for a Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure Plan. Several City departments were required to have a plan. Stanley
Consultants produced the plans. The plan was required, but was not budgeted for in FY 2003.
The requirement to have a plan was not known at the time the FY 2003 budget was developed.
O'Neil said he would have to find money somewhere in the budget or ask for a budget
amendment. He said there is annual training that is required along with the plan. O'Neil said he
and the maintenance worker and some employees from Jet Air should attend training. Jet Air is
tesponsible for fueling aircraft He said the paining is $1000 and there is no money in the budget
for training.
There was discussion on whether or not the expenditures needed to be approved every month.
O'Neil said he will continue to provide a list of check requests and the Commission can decide on
whether or not approval is required.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION —ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA:
No items were presented.
UNFINISHED ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
O'Neil said the question was raised last month on whether there was any written policy by the
Council for land use in the Aviation Commerce Park. He said he discussed this with the City
Manager And Atkins will check on it. There may be Council minutes that discuss it. Thrower
asked if, barring a written land use policy, zoning was the only thing governing the property?
O'Neil said zoning was the main control.
O'Neil said that at the last meeting, implementing additional fees was discussed. He said he
explained that the flowage fee is part of Jet Air's lease. He discussed this with Jet Air and they
were not interested in opening the lease at this time. Thrower wanted to know if some other fee
could be charged, based on a per gallon rate? O'Neil said that would be possible but a method of
collection may be difficult. Thrower asked Dulek if the Commission could require Jet Air to
collect a fee? Dulek said the Commission could not require Jet Air to collect a fee for the
Commission. Thrower asked if the Airport had the capacity to collect a fee? O'Neil said
collection would be difficult because he does not have direct interaction with the fuel customers
and it would have to be collected directly from the customer. Hartwig said he thought this would
also bring a negative response from the customers.
O'Neil said there was one other issue from last month. He said Mascari stated that the
Commission decided at last year's budget meeting to cut the equipment replacement fund in half.
O'Neil checked the minutes from October 2002. Cutting the fund in half was suggested but was
not supported by a majority of the Commission. Hartwig asked if the equipment replacement
budget was cut for FY 2004? O'Neil said that at last month's meeting, the Commission voted to
reduce the equipment replacement fund by 50%.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSIOMACTION:
a. Environmental Assessment project — O'Neil said there was a letter in the Commission
packet with a list of items from the FAA that needed to be addressed farther in the EA. He
said he discussed this list with Joe Trnka, from H.R. Green and most of the corrections have
been made. The rest should be completed soon. O'Neil said he spoke with Mark
Schenkelberg, the FAA Environmental Specialist, about a completion schedule.
Schenkelberg said it would take somewhere between two to six months to complete the EA.
O'Neil said the EA must be completed before any construction is started on the Runway 07
project.
b. Obstruction mitigation project— O'Neil said Stanley Consultants are moving forward with
the project. There is a contractor that would like to move forward with removing the trees
on his property. O'Neil said he contacted Mike Man• from the Office of Aviation and Marr
told him to move ahead with that property. Normally, all of the tree removal should be bid
out in one contract. The other obstructions will be bid out. O'Neil said he would like to
remove most of the obstructions in the winter months when the ground is frozen.
c. Aviation Commerce Park (ACP) — Tracy Overton, from Iowa Realty, presented his
monthly report. He said he and O'Neil met with a potential tenant, but there has not been
any additional contact from the buyer. Overton said that in order to prompt development in
the ACP, there are two activities that would help. One of the activities could be to speculate
a building. This would be sold or leased.
Thrower said one of the things discussed last month was if the pricing should change. He
wanted to know if Overton thought the price should be reduced? Overton said he didn't
think so. Overton said he has talked to a couple of his clients on other properties about their
intention to raise prices. Thrower asked if Scott Byers, the broker, still thought the pricing
was appropriate? Overton said he would discuss this with Byers. Overton said if the
objective is just to sell the property quickly, then lowering the price should be considered. If
it is lowered to sell the first lot, this will set the tone for the rest of the development.
Thrower said sometimes stimulating the original buyer to purchase is important. That
wouldn't mean all the lots would be kept at the lower rate. Thrower requested input from
Byers on pricing.
Mark Anderson said that when he was on the Commission, a letter was sent to the Council
requesting the ACP be considered a TIF district. No reply was received from Council.
d. Mormon Trek development— David Larson, a property developer, said he would like to
work with the Commission on developing some parcels of Airport property near his property
on the new portion of Mormon Trek. Larson said there are three possible Airport sites
outside the Runway Protection Zone. He said he would also like to talk to the Commission
about fill dirt and an access road across Airport property.
Thrower asked O'Neil if any of the areas mentioned would be needed for aviation purposes?
O'Neil said the areas discussed by Larson are outside the RPZ. O'Neil said that he would
recommend having the runway project plan approved by the FAA before any decision was
made on what to do with the outlots. Larson said he has potential tenants for his property
and they may want to incorporate the Airport parcels in their development. O'Neil said he
would recommend the property be leased instead of sold. The property was purchased with
FAA funds. A release would be required to sell the property and 90% of the fiords may
have to be returned to the FAA if the property is sold.
Larson said the City is eager to have the access road completed to open up more industrial
area. His access road would loop through the Dane and Williams property and connect on
both ends to Mormon Trek.
Larson said he is still interested in developing a water detention area on the Dane property.
He would need approval from the Commission for access across Airport property to Willow
Creek. If a permanent easement is required, approval will be needed from the City Council.
Larson said he would like to work with the Commission on moving the fill dirt in the area to
benefit both the Airport and his property. He would like to work with Earth Tech as they are
developing the Airport's plan.
Mark Anderson said that the Commission should be very careful about allowing additional
wetlands to be constructed in the area. O'Neil said the Fish and Wildlife Department may
want to encourage more habitats, but the FAA has the final decision and their first concern
will be safety.
e. Strategic planning - Thrower said the two recent resignations to the Commission have
presented a challenge to making progress on the plan. He said he would like to divide the
two largest pieces between himself and Hartwig and have Staley work with O'Neil on what
the revised budget would look like. This would include cost containment and revenue
enhancements.
Thrower said there are areas in the Strategic plan that are similar and compliment the work
done by ABS but the ABS report was missing some fundamental elements. Thrower said all
of the parts of the Strategic plan would be worked on individually and would be given to
O'Neil to coordinate. Thrower said he would provide O'Neil with a template for the final
plan form.
O'Neil suggested sending the Council a memo and including a review of the action items
mentioned in the ABS report. Thrower said that the ABS report is not a foundation
document. He said some of the ideas from the report can be used in the Strategic Plan and
the final product would he sent to the Council.
O'Neil asked the Commission if they had any additional comments to send to ABS, other
than the original list from September IS? If there were no other comments, O'Neil would
contact ABS and request for them to finalize their report. This will take about 30 days for
completion. The Commission agreed they had no additional comments. Staley said some of
the statistics for the numbers employed by the University of Iowa were incorrect.
f. Runway 07 project - Earth Tech contract — O'Neil said he was hoping to have the Earth
Tech contract ready for approval. He said he had just received the first draft yesterday and he
and Dulek had not had an opportunity to completely review it. O'Neil said he had read
through the contract and there were several auras that needed clarification. O'Neil said he
would hope to have the contract ready for the December Commission meeting. Because Earth
Tech's fee would be over $100,000, an independent cost estimate will be required. If possible,
this could be done in-house through the Public Works Department. If they can not do the
estimate, another engineering firm will need to be hired.
g. FY 2005 AIP projects — O'Neil said confirmation of the FAA -funded capital projects is
required annually. Each project must have a data sheet on tile, outlining the project, preferred
date of completion and cost. Most of the projects are on file. O'Neil said he would like to add
an asphalt overlay project for part of Runway 12. This project would receive priority for the
Airport's entitlement funds if a grant was not received for the Runway 07 project. O'Neil read
a list of the projects now on file with the FAA.
Staley made a motion for a resolution to approve the list of FY 2005 FAA Alp projects.
Hartwig seconded the motion and at roll call vote, it was approved 3 — 0.
Thrower said he would like to officially welcome John Staley to the Commission and he looked
forward to working with him.
COMMISSION MEMBERS' REPORTS:
No reports were given.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT:
O'Neil said that the Council had advertised for Commission members and the new members
would be appointed in January.
A letter was sent to the FAA concerning decommissioning the NDB.
There was a letter in the packet from a woman whose father was one of the first airmail pilots to
be based on the Iowa City airmail route. She also sent a picture of the Iowa City Airport, dated
1927. O'Neil sent her a thank you letter.
The National Association of State Aviation Officials will hold their national meeting in Des
Moines in 2005.
O'Neil suggested the Commission consider changing their by-laws and reducing the Commission
term from six years to four years. He said potential Commission members have told him that six
years is a long time to volunteer for.
O'Neil said he would meet with the City Manager and the Finance Department on November 17
for the initial review of the budget the Commission submitted from their October meeting.
O'Neil suggested meeting with FAA officials in Kansas City sometime after the first of the year
to discuss the Runway 07 project. This could be scheduled after the grant is received. The
Commission could also discuss completion of the EA.
Jay and Mary Honek, aircraft owners and hangar tenants at the Airport, would like to try to save
the United hangar. They are also writing a history of the Airport. Their web site is

Subject: RE: draft MOA for Iowa City Muni
The next Commission meeting is December 9 at 5:45 p.m. (That is a Tuesday.) It would be a good time for you to bring
the Commission up to date on the EA. Since Congress finally passed Vision 100, the AIP funding bill, we should expect a
grant sometime in the next couple of months to reimbuse the Commission for the EA. The sooner we can have the EA
finished, the better.

Subject draft MOA for Iowa City Muni
Ron & Mark,
Attached is a draft memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the demolition of the old United Hangar at the Iowa City
Municipal AirporL Please look it over and let me know what you think. We need a draft MOA (a signed one would be
better) before we can circulate the draft Section 4(f) Statement component of the draft EA The MOA is required for the
draft Section 4(f) Statement and in order to comply with the requirements of Section 106 due to the adverse effect finding,
which applies to both the demolition of the building and to the relocation of this historic building to a different location.
Keep in mind that this MOA has been developed in the anticipation that the hangar will be demolished, not moved and
rehabilitated or restored in another location. The coordination that Ron has done thus far with the city council and the
historic preservation entities in Iowa City clearly indicates a lack of either resources or interest in preserving this building.
Thus, the public history document as a mitigation becomes especially important The Iowa SHPO, the FHWA, and the
Iowa DOT have all become strong supporters of the use of public history documents as mitigation for adverse effects to
historic property. The commitment to prepare a document like this would really help demonstrate that "all possible
measures have been taken to mitigate" for the loss of the old United Hangar, which is required under Section 4(f) when a
federal project "uses" historic property.
I have not run this past the SHPO yet, but I'd like to get their review soon, perhaps after the Thanksgiving holiday, unless
Mark would like to do that coordination instead. There is little merit in circulating a MOA in an EA/Section 4(f) statement if it
has not been reviewed at least once by the SHPO - better yet to have received at least a preliminary concurrence from the
SHPO. Of course, the Airport Commission should review it as well as the Mayor's office & city council, prior to publication
of the EA/4(f) to avoid having anyone inadvertently surprised by the MOA at a public meeting.
Thanks,

APPENDIX B
BOOKLET PUBLICATION
A HISTORY OF THE IOWA CITY MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
JOHNSON COUNTY, IOWA
General Features: The publication will tell the story of the history of the Iowa City
Municipal Airport, one of the oldest continuously operating airports within the State of
Iowa. The booklet will focus on the establishment of the airport in 1918, significant
accomplishments made there, and how the installation has grown and changed over the
years. The booklet will focus on the early history of the airport (1918 to 1940), its
involvement in the development of both the national airmail system and commercial
passenger service, and other early achievements. To a somewhat lesser degree, the
booklet will also describe the major expansion of the airport in 1940-1941, activities
conducted there during World War 11(1941-1945), and the changes and growth that have
taken place there since 1945.
The publication is anticipated to be approximately 36 pages in length. It is to be authored
by a professional historian(s) with demonstrated writing ability and familiarity with
historic research in general and aviation history in particular. It is to be professionally
edited, produced by a professional graphic artist consultant, and printed by a printing firm
capable of producing high -quality materials. The booklet will be equivalent in readability,
graphic design, and quality of cover and paper to the recent Iowa Department of
Transportation public history booklet titled Clinton, Iowa: Railroad Town (2003), written
by Deborah Morse -Kahn and Joe Tmka.
At least 2,000 copies will be printed. Distribution will be made as indicated below. The
manuscript will also be submitted to Iowa Heritage Illustrated (formerly the Palimpsest)
for consideration as an article in this magazine of public history.
Contents: The body of the text will document the following:
First Flights in Iowa City — Several manned aircraft flights were conducted in
Iowa City prior to the establishment of the airfield that has become the Iowa City
Municipal Airport. The earliest known manned aircraft flight was conducted in
1910 at the old Johnson County Fairgrounds (which are no longer extant).
Early History of the Airport — This period includes the origin, early
development, and many of the significant accomplishments of the airport, which
took place between 1918 and 1940. This period is the most significant component
of the overall history of the airport. Some of the earliest airmail flights were
staged out of the airport and the airport was the scene for some of the earliest
commercial passenger flights in the Midwest. Between 1918 and 1930, the
original pasture quickly grew into an airport with gravel and sod runways,
hangars, offices, lights, and a control tower. The Old United Hangar, which was
built in 1929-1930, is the sole extant component of this early period.
3
DRAFT
November 20, 2003
World War H — The War Department funded the expansion and conversion of
the airport into a modem major installation, complete with three concrete, all-
weather runways. This expansion was originally intended to host interceptors for
the aerial defense of the Arsenal in Rock Island, Illinois and military production
plants in Eastern Iowa, such as the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant in Burlington.
However, that need did not arise and the airport instead served in a training role,
providing military pilot cadets with basic flight training that complimented the
academic -based ground school conducted at the nearby University of Iowa.
Postwar Development — The airport and its surroundings have undergone
substantial changes since the end of World War Il. Urban development has nearly
engulfed the airport, which was originally surrounded by farm fields. The airport
itself has undergone major expansion, with the construction of a terminal
building, hangar buildings, and other facilities.
The publication will contain, as available, historic and current photographs, maps, and
drawings that will illustrate and compliment the historic text. These illustrations should
include historic and current photographs of aircraft and personnel engaged in typical
aviation activity; maps, drawings, or aerial photographs of the various layouts of the
airport over time; and historic documents such as rate sheets or advertisements for
commercial passenger service (if available). The booklet will contain a bibliographic
reference of major sources and will also provide a list of where a reader might find further
information of interest on the topic.
Production: A copy of the draft text and photographs/illustrations shall be submitted to
the SHPO for review and comment. The final booklet may be prepared once the SHPO
comments have been received and addressed. A final mockup of the booklet shall be
provided for SHPO review and comment. The final booklet may be published once the
SHPO review comments have been considered and addressed.
Distribution of copies: The State Historical Society of Iowa shall receive 100 copies of
the published booklet; the Iowa City Historic Commission shall receive 200 copies; the
Federal Aviation Administration shall receive 100 copies; the Iowa City Municipal
Airport shall receive 200 copies; and the Johnson County Historical Society shall receive
50 copies. The University of Iowa Library and the Iowa City Public Library shall each
receive 10 copies and each school library within Iowa City and Johnson County shall
receive one copy. One copy shall be provided to each of Iowa's public libraries, to each of
Iowa's university, community college, and other college libraries, to each areawide
education agency, to and to each regional and state library. Finally, one copy will be
provided to each local and regional newspaper within the Iowa City area.

Dear Mr. ONeil:
Subject: Obstruction #120 -Tree Removal
As we have previously discussed, a cluster of trees identified as Obstruction #120 on the Airport
Obstruction List resides on a property that recently was acquired by a land developer — Jeff Hendrickson.
Mr. Hendrickson currently plans to develop this land and has provided us a copy of an estimate to have
the before mentioned trees removed. I have reviewed this estimate of $4,900 and find it to be reasonable
when compared to a previous estimate we bad done during the Phase I study. I recommend that we notify
Mr. Hendrickson that he may proceed with the tree removal and that he be reimbursed the $4,900. Please
let me know if you are -in agreement and if I may give Mr. Hendrickson a notice to proceed.
Sincerely,

Dear Cathy:
I contacted Mike Marr of the Office of Aviation. He said that they would normally require
bids for the mitigation of obstructions, but in this circumstance, he would approve the
mitigation based on the price of $4900.00. Mr. Hendrickson or his contractor will need to
submit an invoice to the Airport for reimbursement.
You may give Mr. Hendrickson a Notice to Proceed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Airport Commission �j
FROM: Susan Dulek, Assistant City Attorney'
DATE: March 5, 2003
RE: Open Meeting, Open Records, and Commission Meetings
��uu �a ern moa ---
Given that the Commission has a new member as of March 1 and will elect a new
chair at its March 13 meeting, I believe that it is an opportune time for me to discuss some
matters related to open meetings, open records, and Commission meetings. Some of this
may be simply a reminder.
1. Open Meetinas and emails. Email communications between Commission
members raise issues under Iowa's open meetings law. As a result, I advise against using
e-mail to communicate with each other in any manner whereby a majority of you are
discussing an item at the same time. To determine whether a violation of the open meetings
law has occurred, any such occurrence would have to be examined on its own facts.
However, due to the instantaneous nature of e-mail communication, use of e-mail to
communicate among yourselves is problematic, and I discourage it.
2. Open Records and emails. All electronic and written communication, with
limited exception, to you and from you is an "open record." Consequently, any person for
any reason may request copies of this communication. Doing work on your personal
computer or you work computer does not make it "private" or "confidential" or shield it from
an open records request. For example, a reporter, or anyone, could request copies of all
communication having to do with the strategic plan and copies would need to be provided.
As a result, you may want to consider implementing a personal records retention policy
such as deleting any Commission related matters after 30 days.
Commission members' replies to a -mails should advise the senders that their e-mail
communications and the Commissioners' responses may be public information.
3. Discussion of Items Not on the Agenda. Occasionally a member of the public
will address the Commission at this time on the agenda. This is the time to listen to that
person. A Commissioner may engage in a dialogue with that person, but it should not spill
over to the point that it becomes a discussion among the Commissioners: Also, although it
is not the time to deliberate on the matter brought to you by that person, the chair may take
an informal poll of the Commission to see'if it should be an item on the next agenda.
4. "Commission" Time. By this, I mean the time when the Commissioners give
their reports at the end of the agenda. It is a time to apprise others of an event or a
concern; it is not a time to deliberate or decide. The matter itself is not on the agenda. It is
appropriate to poll the Commission informally to determine whether an item should be on
the agenda at the next month.
If you have questions about this memo or if you would like to discuss any of this
further, please do not hesitate to telephone me at 356-5030.

TSA To Issue GA Security Guidelines
Dec 02, 2003 O7r33 PM (EST)
planes, better monitoring
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
said that by early next year it will Issue "best
practice" security guidelines for general aviation
airports.
TSA announced Monday that it will build on the
recommendations issued recently by a coalition
general aviation associations working as part of
the TSA Aviation Security Advisory Committee.
The recommendations included of
recommendations for enhancing security at
general aviation airports, including closer
identification of passengers flying on private
of student pilots, and Improved airport surveillance.
of
The working group also recommended multiple locking systems to keep
unauthorized persons from gaining access to aircraft; fencing, locks, lighting and
other steps to control access onto aircraft ramps, parking, hangar and fuel storage
areas; developing communications procedures for law enforcement officers and
airport users to follow in emergencies, particularly during periods of heightened
security, and steps agricultural aircraft operators should follow to secure their
aircraft, including throttle and propeller locks and hidden ignition switches.
Many of the airports, which serve more than 275,000 general aviation aircraft,
already have implemented at least some of the working group's recommendations,
TSA said. The report of the general aviation working group can be found at
http://www.tsa.gov/public/i nterapp/editoria I/ed itoria I_1113.xml.

Dear Ms. Brogan -Coleman
In response to your letter of November 10, the Airport is always interested in providing
additional aviation services for the Johnson County community. Your plan to provide
ground school to students and to provide refresher training for pilots would be welcomed
and encouraged. The meeting room in the Terminal Building could be an excellent
location for the classes.
I discussed your proposal with Ron Duffy. He is the manager of Jet Air, the FBO at the
Iowa City Airport. Jet Air provides flight instruction and rental aircraft. He would be
interested in discussing your idea with you. I would recommend this to be a good next
step in scheduling the ground school. After you have met with him to see what Jet Air
has to add to the program, I will meet with you to discuss the availability of the room,
room rent, insurance requirements, etc. Jet Air's telephone number is (319) 248-1200.
If you have questions or want additional information, please contact me at (319) 356-
5045 or e-mail at ron-oneii(o)iowa-city.org 1 look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Q, b.

As I explained to you during our meeting, I would like to conduct ground school training
at Iowa City Municipal Airport. I inquired regarding the availability of facilities and
approvals necessary for conducting such training. I stated that if a satisfactory
arrangement could be made, I believed it would benefit the airport and its associated
community as well as satisfy my need for a location to conduct ground training.
I propose to initially conduct ground training associated with those seeking private pilot
certification and instrument rating certification. During the past year I have conducted
several ground school classes at a nearby flying club. The response has been
overwhelming. My own students are in the minority in these classes. All attendees have
stated that there is, if not an absence, a definite lack of availability of structured ground
schools in this area. Many attending these classes are already rated pilots seeking to
refresh their knowledge or learn something new. This response has caused me two
logistical problems: (1) Many potential students ask if I will conduct a class at a location
more centrally located than the flying club, and (2) my club does not have facilities that
can adequately accommodate the number of people who want to attend ground school.
Consequently, I have asked for your assistance.
I attribute part of the success of my classes to their design and intent. Rather than simply
going through written test questions and answering them, I make every effort to teach the
aspiring privatel instrument rated pilot those things he really needs to know. I have
received assistance designing these classes from Will DeGraw. Mr. DeGraw is an FAA
designated pilot and flight instructor examiner with a great deal of flight and ground
training experience. He has Part 91, 121, 125 and 135 experience as well as a
background in training and testing under Parts 61 and 141. In addition to course design
and mentoring, he has assisted me as a presenter and made himself available to answer
student questions. He has pledged a commitment to continue in this new, expanded
venue.
I believe that conducting my ground schools at Iowa City Airport will benefit the airport
in several ways:
(1) It will provide an additional tool to those flight training entities presently
located at Iowa City Airport. This will allow them to better utilize their resources.
Many training organizations view ground training as a "necessary evil" because it
is economically draining. I accept students without regard to where they are
receiving flight training.
(2) It will fulfill a perceived need of the local pilot community. As I stated
earlier, many of my students are people already rated who desire to refresh or
increase their knowledge.
(3) It will bring additional activity, and consequently, additional revenue to Iowa
City Airport. During the past year, I have had a number of students in my ground
schools who are rated pilots not currently active. They desire a return to active
status, but have been overwhelmed by the increasingly complex airspace and
regulatory requirements of general aviation. My classes have served as a bridge
back into active flying in this community. In addition, I will implement the
following:
(a) Contact all presently rated private pilots in the Iowa City area who are
listed in the publicly available FAA airman registry database. This action
will primarily be directed to those pilots described above. Many of these
people may desire flight training from entities located at your airport.
(b) Advertise to a targeted segment that live locally and travel elsewhere
for flight and ground training, thereby "bringing them home". I believe
these people will also pursue flight training from your tenants.
(4) It will serve as a forum where you can disseminate information and
invitations to various airport or FBO activities to pilots and students not presently
based at Iowa City Municipal.
At the end of our brief meeting, you said you needed to talk to Jet Air and, perhaps, some
others. You said I should call you in a few days. I will do so no later than the end of
next week.
Again, thank you for making yourself available for an unscheduled meeting. I look
forward to meeting with you again. If, in the meantime, you require additional
information you may contact me at the address above, email: kimbcfi@lycos.com or 631-
3042.
Sincerely,

Can we put a block on that line so there can be no long distance calls charged to the phone? Does the phone (3902)
have a speaker?

Ron,
In response to your voice mail regarding a new phone in the Airport conference room:
Recurring charge is $13/month
Install charge is around $150 including the basic 3902 phone. If you need a different phone the price would
change.
Let me know how you would like to proceed.
Thank youl
Gary

HARKIN ANNOUNCES BOOST FOR TRANSPORTATION
PROJECTS ACROSS IOWA
WASHINGTON, D.C. ? Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) today announced that the
House -Senate Transportation Appropriations conference committee has
included over $40 million for projects across Iowa in the final version of
the Transportations Appropriations bill. The House and the Senate are
expected to approve the bill next week before it is sent to the President.
"Improving our transportation infrastructure is crucial for a strong
economy," said Harkin. "Poor roads mean delays for businesses and the
individual traveler. Without adequate transit systems and airports, many
people would have no way to get to and from work and businesses could not
unction."
__arkin also noted that the Committee is providing $226 million for the High
Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas, which is $20 million above the
President's request. Harkin has been a leading advocate for sufficient
funding for this important account in the Treasury Department.
The bill also includes $102 million for the Essential Air Service Program,
crucial for maintaining air service to Mason City, Fort Dodge and
Burlington. Ottumwa may be allowed to reestablish service with these
funds. Language was added to eliminate the implementation of matching
funds for this program.
HIGHWAY FUNDS FOR IDOT
$3 million to replace the I-80 bridges over the Cedar River in Cedar
County. IDOT expects to replace the bridges next year.
$3 million to reconstruct a redesigned interchange on I-80 at Iowa
945 near Altoona, Bondurant and Pleasant Hill improving access to
this rapidly growing area. Local communities have agreed to provide a
considerable local match in funding for this project.
$2.75 million for the replacement of Highway 218, Main Street, in
Keokuk and related improvements to the streets and lighting to
improve the business district.
$1.5 million towards the design of the Highway 34 Bridge over the
Missouri River in Mills County.
$1.25 million for preliminary work towards the planning and design of
the I-74 bridge in Scott County. The actual construction of the
bridge is expected to start at the end of this decade. This sum may
be increased.
$1 million to widen highway 6 in Coralville, providing a fifth lane
to reduce traffic congestion.
$1 million for improvements to US highways 30/67 in the city of
Clinton
$1 million for remotely changeable signs to improve highway safety
around the state.
$1 million for changeable electronic message signs to be used
throughout the state that will help reduce congestion.
$500,000 towards the study and design for improving Highway 92 from
Indianola to 1-35.
TRANSIT FUNDS FOR IDOT, THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN IOWA, AND IOWA CITY
TRANSIT
$6.6 million for IDOT to purchase replacement buses used in Iowa. 62
percent of Iowa's bus fleet is beyond their useful life.
$3.5 million for UNI to construct a multilevel parking facility that
will become a hub of the area transit system.
$2.1 million for Iowa City Transit to complete the cost of
constructing a multilevel parking facility in Iowa City that will
become a hub of their transit systems.
$1 million for IDOT to create new routes and improve service on
existing routes that help commuters.
$750,000 for IDOT to expand a system using GPS to better schedule
buses, particularly for point to point service and to determine at an
early point when repairs are needed statewide.
$1 million for Ames Transit Authority for the addition of a
maintenance facility
$500,000 towards the design of a parking facility in Coralville
IOWA AIRPORTS
The measure gives priority funding to the following Iowa airport
improvements that are important for the efficient access to Iowa
businesses, making it more likely that businesses will expand and locate in
Iowa:
Ankeny Airport, to expand the airplane parking area and paving of an
airport road.
Charles City, for rehabilitation of an existing runway and work on an
extension to allow for jet traffic.
Council Bluffs, for continued work on a new longer runway that will
allow for corporate jets to land with a minimum of $2 million to be
spent.
§ Eastern Iowa (Cedar Rapids), $1.5 million for an
improved instrument landing system.
§ Fairfield, for the relocation of utilities in
preparation for the
construction of a new runway.
§ Fort Dodge, for improvements to the runway.
§ Iowa City, for an extension of a runway.
§ Mason City, for the rehabilitation of the airport's
main runway.
Newton, for removal of an obstruction and runway improvements.
Ottumwa Industrial, for a partial parallel taxiway and security.
Washington, to build a taxiway and repair of the runway.
Waterloo, to purchase a fire fighting vehicle, perimeter fencing and
improvements to the tower.
RESEARCH AT IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY
$3 million in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Research funds
for the Center for Aviation Systems Reliability. The Center does
research to find improved methods of detecting cracks, erosion, and
other faults in metal coverings on aircraft. Harkin has secured $3
million in the Defense Appropriations bill that has passed the Senate
and $2 million from NASA that is going to the full Appropriations
measure as a part of the HUD Appropriations measure for additional
research in this area.
$2 million for the Engine Titanium Consortia which does research with
2
the major jet
titanium parts
$1 million fo
Technology to
of laying down
aircraft manufacturers to improve the reliability of
in jet engines.
r the Center for Portland Cement Concrete Pavement
determine ways to improve the composition and methods
cement.
funding for the following projects has not yet been finalized:
improvements to Highway 20 in Webster, Sac and Calhoun counties. The
goal is to eventually make all of Highway 20 in Iowa and Illinois
into a four lane highway which is largely accomplished in Iowa east
of Fort Dodge.
further work on Martin Luther King Parkway in Des Moines. This
project will not only result in eliminating a bottleneck from I-235
south to the south side, it will also open up a considerable area of
south of the downtown to economic development.
for improvements to Collins Road in Cedar Rapids.
