TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1990 - 4:30 P.M.
IOWA CITY TRANSIT FACILITY
MEMBERS PRESENT: Pat Foster, Antonia Hamilton, John Ockenfels
MEMBERS ABSENT: Robert Hicks, Richard Blum
STAFF PRESENT: Ron O'Neil
CALL TO ORDER:
Pat Foster called the meeting to order at 4:35 p.m. A quorum of the Commission was present.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The minutes of the September 19, 1990, Commission meeting were approved as presented.
AUTHORIZATION OF EXPENDITURES:
O'Neil presented the October expenditure list. Ockenfels requested clarification on the bill from
AAA Mechanical. O'Neil explained that the bill was for a boiler valve repair and for work
conducted on the furnaces in the United Building. Hamilton moved to approve the expenditures
for October. Ockenfels seconded the motion and the expenditures were approved 3-0.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION - ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA:
No items were discussed.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
a. Chapter 4. Code of Ordinances - O'Neil explained that the City ordinance that pertains
to the airport needs a total revision. The Mercy Hospital helistop request is one example
of a need for clarification of the Code. O'Neil stated that the latest FAA compliance
standards needed to be incorporated into the Code.
Hamilton stated that there are two issues to address. The first is the section of the code
that may affect the helistop decision and the second issue deals with a revision of the
entire code. Ockenfels suggested revising the entire code as time permits. Because
neither the entire Commission or someone from the Legal Department was present, the
issue was deferred.
b. State Aviation Month - Because Blum was in contact with the officials from the IDOT on
this item and he was not present, the Commission deferred the issue until the November
20, 1990, meeting.

C. Underground Fuel Storage Tanks - O'Neil presented copies of the final bid specifications
for the underground fuel storage tanks at the airport. The specifications were approved
at the last Commission meeting but were not in final form. The specifications presented
by O'Neil included several options. Because the specifications were not changed as far
as the equipment to be bid on was concerned, no motion was needed to accept the
specifications. O'Neil will inform the Commission when the public hearing is to be
scheduled. Agreements with Iowa City Flying Service on leasing the new fuel storage
tanks and on removing the old system must be secured before installation of the new
tanks begins. The Commission favored the site near the Airport Manager's office for
installation of the new tanks.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT:
Foster had no items to report.
COMMISSION MEMBERS' REPORTS:
No reports were given.

September 24, 1990. The construction is scheduled for the fall of 1990.
