From: Bob Miklo, Senior Planner
Re: Zoning Regulations for Bars and Nightclubs
The City Council asked staff to investigate zoning regulations that would prohibit or limit the
possibility of additional bars being located downtown. We have reviewed regulations from other
communities that use zoning controls to regulate bars. Although there are few communities in
Iowa that use such zoning techniques, nationally it is not uncommon for communities to regulate
the location of bars in relationship to other establishments that serve alcohol, as well as other
land uses such as churches, schools and residential neighborhoods. Many communities have
zoning regulations that require bars to be located a certain distance from other bars (generally
300 to 1,000 feet); a certain distance from residential areas (generally 200 to 1,000 feet); and a
certain distance from sensitive land uses such as churches, schools, daycare centers, etc.
(generally 200 to 1,000 feet).
Because Iowa City's zoning regulations currently do not distinguish between bars and
restaurants, if the City Council wishes to pursue zoning requirements for bars we would need to
create a definition for bars that is separate from that of restaurants. Because of the complexity
of creating such regulations, staff would like further direction from Council. There are several
questions and related issues that we would like the Council to consider.
1. Should all restaurants which serve alcoholic beverages be regulated? This method of
regulation would be simple to draft and enforce. However, depending on the separation
distance required, it would make it very difficult to establish new downtown restaurants that
wished to sell any sort of alcoholic beverage with meals. Is this a consequence that the
Council would accept in order to prevent the opening of new establishments that serve
alcohol?
2. Should a distinction be made between restaurants and bars based on the percent of sales
that come from alcoholic beverages? Many communities classify businesses with a certain
percentage of revenues form alcohol sales as restaurants and thus not subject them to
regulation as bars'. For example if 55% in alcohol revenues is determined to be the tipping
point between a restaurant and a bar, a business which derives 46% or more of its revenue
from the sale of food and 54% or less from the sale of beer and wine, would be treated as a
restaurant and therefore not subject spacing regulations for bars. A business that derives
56% of its revenue from alcoholic beverages would be classified as a bar and could not be
operated within a specified distance from another bar. This type of regulation is more
complicated to enforce. It requires establishments with liquor licenses to submit certified
accounting reports so the City may determine whether a business is classified as a bar or a
restaurant. Another difficulty of this approach arises when a business that serves both food
and alcoholic beverages first opens - the relative percent of food and beverage sales is not
known. A restaurant operator may intend to derive a high percentage of sales from food, but
after opening for business finds that it does not achieve its target for food sales. This may be
less of a problem if the relative percentage of alcohol sales allowed for restaurants is set
*Based on research available to staff, other communities use a percent of sales of alcoholic beverages
somewhere between 40% and 75%.

high (the top of the range based on other communities appears to be 75%). This would
regulate only the establishments that feature very limited or no food service as part of their
business.
3. Should the zoning ordinance create different classes of bars depending on the occupancy
load? For example, smaller bars which have occupancy loads of less than 200 people may
have less stringent regulations than larger bars or nightclubs that have occupant loads of
200 or more persons. A list of downtown businesses with liquor permits is attached with
occupancies noted.
4. If the Council chooses to implement zoning regulations for bars, should these regulations
apply to all commercial zones throughout the city as well as the downtown zones (CB-2,
CB-5 and CB-10)?
5. Communities that use zoning to regulate bars generally also regulate liquor stores. Does the
Council wish to consider regulation of liquor stores as well as bars?
It should be noted that if the Council chooses to pursue zoning regulations to control the
location of bars, existing establishments will be grandfathered in and will be allowed to remain in
operation. However, adoption of such regulations would likely prohibit the opening of additional
bars in most of the downtown. For example, if a 500-foot separation is required for bars,
additional establishments would not be allowed in most of the downtown, because there are
very few buildings that are not located within 500 feet of an existing bar. The attached map
illustrates the location of downtown businesses with liquor permits.

RE: Interest Rate Policy- Homeownership Projects
At the December 9 Council work session, the City Council approved housing criteria for
projects receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and/or HOME Investment
Partnership Program funding. At this work session, an issue was raised about the
application of the interest rate policy to homeownership projects.
The adopted interest rate policy is as follows:
· The interest rate for housing projects will be equal to 1% for non-profits and prime rate
minus 2% for for-profit projects with the term of amortization for both to be no longer
than 30 years or the term of affordability whichever is less.
The City has received letters from Greater iowa City Housing Fellowship and Habitat for
Humanity regarding this topic that are included in the February 4 Council packets. Both of
these non-profit housing providers have requested that the Council review the interest rate
policy and have suggested modifications to the interest rate policy that include making the
CDBG\HOME funding a forgivable loan or outright grant or applying the interest rate policy
to rental housing projects only. Their rationale is presented within the correspondence.
Based on the points presented by Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship and Habitat for
Humanity, one option would be to modify to the interest rate policy for homeownership
projects so that the CDBG\HOME funds are conditional occupancy loans. Conditional
occupancy loans are repaid at a future point in time (e.g. if the unit was sold to a non-
qualifying homebuyer) or at a pre-determined date 20 or 30 years in the future. Should
funds be provided as conditional occupancy loans, there are no principal or interest
payments until the end of the loan term; however, annual simple interest would accrue. By
adopting this modification, the intent of the Council policy to recycle CDBG\HOHE funds
would be maintained. The important difference would be that no annual payments are
received by the City.

Memorandum
To: Steve Atkins
From: Ron O'Neil (~-~.
Date: January 28, 2003
Re: Aviation Commerce Park
On January 17, 2003 the Commission received a waiver from the Federal Aviation
Administration to sell the property in the Aviation Commerce Park. There were some
conditions attached, but they were all things the Commission has already completed or
had intentions of doing, regardless of FAA requirements.
The Codes and Restrictions should be on the Council agenda for the February 4
meeting. Sue Dulek has received input from several departments and has a document
that should protect everyone's concerns. Sue has spent a lot of time on this and has
done a very good job.
There are two parties interested in the northwest lot (#17). There is also a serious buyer
for lot # 8 or # 9. Tracy Overton is hopeful to have an offer to discuss with us in the near
future.
This spring, when the weather is better, I will work with Lisa on the sign and landscaping
for the Riverside Drive entrance to Ruppert Road. As we discussed eadier, I think a
limestone sign like the Airport sign and the City entrance signs would be appropriate.
Ross Spffz has been working with the University of Iowa on getting fill material for the
ACP. Because the road elevation was designed to be higher than many of the lots, fill
material will be needed to raise the lots up to curb level. Tracy has said that commercial
property owners want property that is at least level with the curb. They do not want
property where their building is lower than the street.
Another reason to fill the lots is to make certain that all the property is out of the flood
plain. The floodplain line meanders through the ACP, with some lots in and some lots
out of the floodplain. Property out of the floodplain is obviously more marketable than
that which is in.
The fill is free from the University. This is a close site for them to haul to. They are
building a new building on the corner of Melrose and Hawkins Ddve and will have a
significant amount of dirt to waste. They should have somewhere between 50,000 and
200,000 cubic yards of fill. The north lots will need between 40,000 to 50,000 cubic
yards to bdng them to street level. The remainder will be used on the south lots.
There is a cost to level and compact the fill Ross has negotiated with a local contractor
for that work. The cost of leveling and compacting the fill is a fraction of the cost of the
value increase to the lots. Tracy and I have discussed this and that cost will be added to
the square foot price of the lots.
I will be discussing the finance agreement with Kevin O'Malley this week. When it was
written, it was based on the lots being leased. Now that there is an option to lease or
sell, it should be defined how the Airport debt will be paid off if a property is sold. I hope
to have something to discuss with the Commission at their next meeting on February 13.
Since there was never a grand opening of the Aviation Commerce Park, perhaps
something could be done when the first tenant starts building. It would be good publicity
for the development.

Dear Ms. Kan':
Mediacom will institute a rate adjustment on cable service in your community effective March 1,
2003. A copy of the full schedule of the new rates and charges is attached. This information will
be mailed directly to customers. Family Basic will increase $4.00 from $36.95 to $40.95. There
will be a $1.00 decrease in the Digital Access and Digital Value packages and a $1.00 decrease
on all packages including HBO.
Mediacom will add two new channels, Etemai Word Television Network and National
Geographic Channel, to Family Cable on March 1, 2003 and existing programming will be
repositioned. A copy of the new channel lineup is enclosed and will be mailed directly to
customers.
The rate adjustment reflects the increased costs of providing service. Two significant factors in
the increases are programming fees and investments to upgrade our broadband networks to offer
more products and advanced services. The fees we pay to programming companies have again
increased dramatically over the course of the past year. Mediacom is concerned with the level of
programming cost increases requested by programming companies and their impact on customer
rates and choices. I would like to present information on the impact of programming fees and
multi-network ownership to Mediacom subscriber rates and channel lineups at the February
meeting of the Iowa City Broadband Telecommunication Commission.
Please contact me directly at (319) 395-9699 extension 202 if you would like to discuss the rate
adjustments and channel changes or ifI may be of any assistance.
Sincerely,
MEDIACOM

Memorandum
To: Mark Anderson, Chairperson
From: Ron O'Neil
Date: January 23, 2003
Re: Iowa DOT committee
I have been asked to serve on a committee to update the Iowa Aviation System Plan. This is the
State's Master Plan for all airports in Iowa. Our first task will be to establish a scope of servicas
and determine how we want to proceed with the selection of a consultant for the project.
I served on a similar State committee several years ago when the System Plan was first
developed. It is interesting work and gives me a good overview of how Iowa City fits into the
Iowa DOT airports system. I think it is beneficial for Iowa City to be active in projects such as
this at the stat~ level.

Directions ~
Off]~.d~
The Iowa DOT has received notice from FAA that they will fund an update to
the Aviation System Plan. We are beginning the process to establish a
preliminary scope of the project and determine the process for consultant
selection.
We would like you to be a member of the project steering committee. This
steering committee will have representation from the Office of Aviation,
Office of Systems Planning, a commercial service airport, a large general
aviation airport, and a smaller general aviation airport. The steering
committee will be responsible for developing the criteria for project
selection, interviewing final consultants, recommending consultant
selection, and assistance in developing the scope of work. We will also be
using the Aviation Advisory Council as a resource to help guide the project
and provide input from fixed base operators, business, education, and
airport sponsors.
The first meeting will be Tuesday, January 28 from 9:30-11:00 at the
Association Insight office in Urbandale. (in the Board Room- see attached
directions to the office) The discussion for the first meeting will
include:
1. General scope of project
2. Process for the project
3. Criteria for consultant selection
4. Request for Qualifications
5. Timeline
We hope that you will be able to participate in this important planning
activity. Please let me know if you will be able to attend - I know this
is short notice, but hope to see you there! THANKS!

Dear Mr. Atkins:
On behalf of the School Children's Aid Fund we would like to tha~ you and the Iowa
City employees for your generous donations over this holiday season. Staff members
made a cash con~ibution of $477.00 and gave another $87.00 that was collected from the
cookbook donations. In addition to this generosity, staff also gave School Children's
Aid Fund a large number of mittens, socks, hats and other clot~ng. The need was
greater than ever before the holidays and we had to deny requests for our services. We
are having a big increase in requests and with your donations we will be able to provide
many children with glasses, medications and warm clothing.
Thank you again for thinking of the Joan Buxton School Children's Aid Fund and the
students who will benefit in the Iowa City Co~u~ty School Dis~ict.

CITY OF IOWA CITY
QUARTERLY
INVESTMENT REPORT
JUNE 30, 2002
to
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
Finance Department:
Prepared by:
Brian Cover
Senior Accountant
OVERVIEW
The City of Iowa City's investment objectives are safety, liquidity and yield. The
primary objective of the City of Iowa City's investment activities is the
preservation of capital and the protection of investment principal. The City's
investment portfolio remains sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet
operating requirements that cash management procedures anticipate. In
investing public funds, the City's cash management portfolio is designed with the
objective of regularly exceeding the average return on the six month U.S.
Treasury Bill. The Treasury Bill is considered a benchmark for riskless
investment transactions and therefore comprises a minimum standard for the
portfolio's rate of return. The average return on the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill,
as obtained from the monthly publication Public Investor, was 1.74% at 6/28/02
and was 1.56% at 9/27/02. The investment program seeks to achieve returns
above the threshold, consistent with risk limitations and prudent investment
principles.
The quarterly investment report lists investments by fund, by institution, by
maturity date, and investments purchased and redeemed.
Rates on new investment purchases with maturity dates in the eight-month to
twelve month range were approximately 5 to 152 basis points lower on
investments purchased in the third quarter of 2002 than on investments maturing
in the third quarter of 2002. This is consistent with the Federal Reserve
decreases in the federal funds rate during calendar year 2001. The Federal
Reserve decreased the federal funds rate eleven times in calendar year 2001 by
a total of 475 basis points. The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which
banks lend to each other. The Federal Reserve left the federal funds rate
unchanged at 1.75% for the first, second, and third quarters of 2002. See
Federal Funds Rate chart on next page.
New official state interest rates setting the minimum that may be paid by Iowa
depositories on public funds ~n the 180 to 364 day range during this quarter were
1.50% in July 2002 and 1.40% in August and September 2002.
The size of the City's investment portfolio decreased in the current quarter by
approximately $43 million. Approximately $26.32 million of this was the maturing
of funds on July1,2002 used to make bond payments on the early redemption of
1993 Sewer Refunding Bonds.

QUARTERLY
INVESTMENT REPORT
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
to
DECEMBER 31, 2002
Finance Department:
Prepared by:
Brian Cover
Senior Accountant
OVERVIEW
The City of Iowa City's investment objectives are safety, liquidity and yield. The
primary objective of the City of Iowa City's investment activities is the
preservation of capital and the protection of investment principal. The City's
investment portfolio remains sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet
operating requirements that cash management procedures anticipate. In
investing public funds, the City's cash management portfolio is designed with the
objective of regularly exceeding the average return on the six month U.S.
Treasury Bill. The Treasury Bill is considered a benchmark for riskless
investment transactions and therefore comprises a minimum standard for the
portfolio's rate of return. The average return on the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill,
as obtained from the monthly publication Public Investor, was 1.56% at 9/27/02
and was 1.20% at 12/27/02. The investment program seeks to achieve returns
above the threshold, consistent with risk limitations and prudent investment
principles.
The quarterly investment report lists investments by fund, by institution, by
maturity date, and investments purchased and redeemed.
Rates on new investment purchases with maturity dates in the eight-month to
twelve month range were approximately 41 to 69 basis points lower on
investments purchased in the fourth quarter of 2002 than on investments
maturing in the fourth quarter of 2002. This is consistent with the Federal
Reserve decreases in the federal funds rate during calendar year 2001. The
Federal Reserve decreased the federal funds rate eleven times in calendar year
2001 by a total of 475 basis points. The federal funds rate is the interest rate at
which banks lend to each other. The Federal Reserve left the federal funds rate
unchanged at 1.75% for the first, second, and third quarters of 2002 but dropped
it to 1.24% in the fourth quarter. See Federal Funds Rate chart on next page.
New official state interest rates setting the minimum that may be paid by iowa
depositories on public funds in the 180 to 364 day range during this quarter were
1.40% in October 2002, 1.30% in November 2002 and 1.10% in December
2002.

MINUTES
IOWA CITY AIRPORT COMMISSION
THURSDAY~ JANUARY 9~ 2003 - 5:45 P.M.
IOWA CITY AIRPORT TERMINAL
MEMBERS PRESENT: Pick Mascara, Mark Anderson, Alan Ellis
STAFF PRESENT: Sue Dulek, Ron O'Neil
CALL TO ORDER:
Chairperson Anderson called the meeting to order at 5:45 p.m.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The minutes of the December 12, 2002, Commission meeting were approved as submitted.
AUTHORIZATION OF EXPENDITURES:
Mascari made a motion to pay the bills. Ellis seconded the motion. The motion passed 3 - 0, with
Robnett and Thrower being absent. O'Neil said the f~rst and second payments for the obstruction
mitigation were paid to Stanley Consultants. He said that since this is an IDOT grant, the
Commission would need to monitor the scope of services and make sure the project stays on
track.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION - ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA:
No items were presented.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
a. Mormon Trek Road project-
1. annexation - O'Neil introduced Bob Miklo, from the Planning Department. O'Neil said
Miklo would explain what the City's intentions were for annexation of the area west of
the Airport. Miklo showed the Commission a map, which depicted the current City
boundary, thc long-range growth area and the area to be included in the annexation. The
Mormon Trek extension cuts through the center of the area.
Mascari asked about a forty-acre parcel in the annexation area. Miklo said that was in the
Runway Protection Area. O'Neil said it was property purchased from John Dane in the
1980's. Miklo said there are two kinds of annexation, volumary and involtmtary. Miklo
said for it to be a voluntary annexation, the owners o£at least $0% of the surrounding
property must agree to the annexation. He said annexation lines are drawn to avoid
creating unincorporated islands of property.
Mascari asked what amount of the proposed annexation property could be developed?
Miklo said most of the property is identified for commercial or industrial development.
Mascari said height restrictions might apply in the area. Mascari wanted to know if the
eastern end of Mormon Trek would be near Airport property? O'Neil said that from
Willow Creek east to Riverside Drive would be on the Airport property.
O'Neil asked that since some of the property proposed for annexation is on Airport
property, did Miklo need something from the Commission to continue? Mascari wanted
to know if the FAA would have to approve of the annexation since it involved Airport
property? O'Neil said that the FAA considers this a local decision and it is not relevant
to them if the Airport property is in the county or the city. Miklo said the airport property
that is part of the annexation would be zoned as public.
Mascari said his concern was about the Airport property at the south end of Runway 36.
He said the Airport property line would move north of the road and he thought the FAA
would have to approve. O'Neil said the ownership is not changing and it is an area that
will not be needed for future aeronautical uses. He said it is shown on the ALP and he
has discussed this with the FAA planner. He said he would contact the FAA again so
they understand exactly what the property is being used for. Ellis wanted to know if the
City would need to reimburse the Airport for use of Airport property for a city street?
Anderson said the portion of the road south of Runway 36 on the Airport would not be
paved until the work was completed on Runway 7. Mascari said he recalled that Council
gave the Commission an assurance that the Commission could delay having to close the
north/south runway until a replacement instrument approach was in place on Runway
07/25.
Anderson asked Miklo if he knew anything about the Commission's request for a TIF
district for the Aviation Commerce Park? Miklo said he would check on it.
2. Road project - Ross Spitz, the project engineer from the Public Works Department,
introduced Bob Lentz, from Earth Tech. Earth Tech is the consulting firm contracted to
do the plans and specifications for the Mormon Trek Road project. The bids for the
project will be due in May. Spitz said the paving for Phase 1 would end just west of
Airport property. He said there is also some sewer work to be done with the project. He
said they had anticipated a March letting and finishing the project this summer. Because
of the May letting, the revised plan is to pave from Highway 1 to Dane Road. Dirt will
be placed all the way to Riverside Drive. Lentz said the RPZ for Runway 36 would be
maintained. He said the road and sewer are sized so that there could be future
development on the south part of the Airport.
O'Neil said that while the contractor is moving dirt south of Runway 36, the runway
would need to be closed temporarily. This will probably be late summer or early fall.
Lentz said there is some sewer work to do before the dirt work is done.
O'Neil said the overhead and the buried antenna for the NDB will need to be moved for
the project. The ASOS may also have to be moved.
b. Aviation Commerce Park(ACP)
1. Iowa Realty January report -Tracy Overton, from Iowa Realty, said the sales
agreement was in place so he could sell or lease the property. The Commission is still
waiting for the written confirmation from the FAA for the waiver to sell the property.
Overton said he has received several phone calls after the article in the newspaper said a sale
agreement had been approved by Council. Anderson asked if the tenant was still interested
in Lot # 177 Overton said he has not heard from him lately, but there is another company
interested in the same lot.
O'Neil said he received a verbal commitment from the FAA for the waiver release and a
written response should be received in the near future. O'Neil said the agreement with the
Council is contingent on FAA approval.
Mascari asked O'Neil if he will be tracking the sales to know when the infrastructure would
be paid for? O'Neil said the Finance Director is reviewing all of the bonded debt and would
provide a report on what order the debt should be paid. Ellis said it should be the
Commission's decision on what debt to pay. O'Neil said he would bring the report to the
Commission for review.
O'Neil said there is fill being placed on the lots in the ACP. Ross Spitz has negotiated a
contract to have the dirt leveled and compacted. The Commission is getting the fill from a U
of Iowa construction project. There should be enough fill for at least the north side of the
ACP. O'Neil said the cost of leveling the lots could be added to the sale price of the lots.
Overton said the usable portion of the lot is worth $ 4.50 a square foot. He said the entire
development should be worth about $ 5,000,000. Ellis asked if the price could be adjusted if
the lots sold rapidly? Overton said it is in his interest and the Commission's interest to
maximize the value of the lots. Dulek said the Commission is not tied to the original pricing
rates. Overton said he will calculate how much per square foot the fill and compaction will
cost and that will be added to the price of the lot.
O'Neil said the City Manager would have a memo for the Commission that addresses the
TIF request. O'Neil said one of the reasons for the long delay in a response from the
Council might have been that the City's Economic Development Coordinator left and there
was some delay in replacing him. Ellis asked whom the request letter was sent to?
Anderson said it was sent to the mayor.
2. Codes and Restrictions - Dulek said several City staffhave reviewed and commented
on the restrictions. She said there were a lot of things taken out of the original
document. Because it is now a sale as opposed to a lease, other City codes, like Zoning
and Building, will control the development. She said an avigation easement would be
developed for the whole subdivision.
Mascari said that siting the buildings on the south side needs to be reviewed so that it
would meet the standards for a possible ILS. Anderson said that the design should have a
preliminary review by the Commission to make certain safety issues are addressed.
O'Neil said the review should be for aviation compatibility. Dulek said the Council
should designate someone to review the safety issues. Anderson said that should be the
responsibility of the Airport Manager.
Ellis said something should be included that addresses hazardous waste handling and
disposal. Ellis also asked about landscaping? Anderson said the City standards are
probably extensive enough to cover anything the Commission would want.
Ellis asked about controlling the lighting. Dulek said it must meet FAA requirements.
O'Neil said the City requires down lighting.
O'Neil said he had a couple of comments. He said he wanted to make it clear to the
Commission that in the agreement, when it referred to "developer", it was referring to the
City Council. Second, the air space study should be completed on FAA form 7460-1.
O'Neil said the landscaping plan should have a maximum mature tree height of 35 feet.
O'Neil asked the Commission if they wanted ground equipment shielded from the
Airport side? The Commission said they wanted the outside storage on the south lots
screened from the Airport.
Dulek said the goal is to have this on the Council agenda for their January 21 meeting.
Mascari made a motion to recommend the codes and restrictions, with the changes
presented. Ellis seconded the motion and the motion passed, 3 0, with Thrower and
Robnett being absent.
c. Environmental Assessment project - O'Neil said H.R. Green is waiting for replies to the
reports they have distributed to various groups. Joe Tmka is meeting with members of the
State Historical Society to discuss their opinions of the historic property at the Airport. The
noise modeling is in progress and should be completed by the end of the month.
d. Obstruction mitigation project- Stanley Consultants is moving forward w/th the project.
They made a presentation to the City Council on January 6 to explain the project and let the
Council know that they will begin to contact the obstruction owners and explain the
mitigation project. The Council understood the program and thanked Stanley for the update.
O'Neil said Stanley would develop a notification letter and send it to some of the owners on
the prioritized list. Only the property owners of those obstructions that there is money to
mitigate will be contacted.
e. Strategic planning - subcommittee - Anderson said the City Manager will be sending the
Commission a memo concerning funding for the study.
CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT:
Anderson said he would not be applying for a second term on the Commission. He said he might
join the AOPA's volunteer program that supplies information to AOPA about local airports.
COMMISSION MEMBERS' REPORTS:
Mascari said a letter should be sent to Thrower concerning meeting attendance. Thrower has
missed the last three meetings. Ellis said he hoped Thrower would continue to participate.
Ellis said a letter should be sent to the Finance Department, defining how the lease and sale
money from the ACP should be spent. Ellis said he would like something in writing from the
FAA for building Mormon Trek through Airport property.
Ellis wanted to know if the parking space lines could be repainted in the parking lot? O'Neil said
he had discussed that with the FBO a month ago. Since the paint is water-based, that is a project
that will have to wait until warmer weather.
Anderson asked if there was any feedback from the dome being at the Airport? O'Neil said he
was initially contacted by the contractor and was asked if there was any heated space at the
Airport to work on the dome? O'Neil said that he told the contractor that non-aviation uses of the
hangars were not normally permitted, but O'Neil felt this was a good commtmity relations
project. The Commission did not have any heated space large enough to house the dome, but he
told the contractor he could contact Jet Air or Gordon Aircraft to see if they would have space.
O'Neil asked the contractor not to publicize the project until after it was completed because of
security concerns. The tenant is paying the Commission his regular rent while the dome is in the
hangar.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT:
The Commission had asked about reviewing City budget materials. O'Neil said it is public
information and is on the City's website.
O'Neil said he had a request to wave the Terminal Building room use fee for non-profit groups.
The Commission said they were not interested in that.
June 3 and 4, 2003 is the FAA Central Region AIP Conference in Kansas City.
There was a memo in the packet stating the Council agendas will no longer be sent to commission
and board chairpersons.
A letter was received from Rock's Roadhouse that they have agreed to lease the Airport property
for their parking lot on a month to month basis.
The applications for the open seat on the Commission are due January 15, with the appointment
being made at the January 21 Council meeting.
The Council/Commission budget meeting is scheduled for January 27 at 6:30 p.m. O'Neil
distributed a copy of the budget, as Council would review it. O'Neil explained a couple of
changes in thc budget that was presented by the City Manager to thc Council.
O'Neil said the Civil Air Patrol would like some office space at the Airport. O'Neil said he has
discussed this with Jet Air. He said he may be able to negotiate space in Building D for airport
operations and the CAP could use the space he is using in Building G. O'Neil said he told the
CAP they might need to pay rent, utilities at the very least. O'Neil asked the Commission if they
wanted him to pursue this? The consensus of the Commission was to negotiate whatever use of
the space he thought would be best for the Airport.
SET NEXT MEETING:
The next regular Airport Commission meeting is scheduled for February 13, 2003,at 5:45 p.m.
