CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT October 9, 2025 Airport Commission: September 11 Attachments: Airport Commission: September 11 MINUTES DRAFT IOWA CITY AIRPORT COMMISSION September 11, 2025 — 6:00 P.M. AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING Members Present: Hellecktra Orozco, Judy Pfohl, Chris Lawrence, Warren Bishop Members Absent: Ryan Story Staff Present: Michael Tharp, Jennifer Schwickerath, Sarah Gardner Others Present: Adam Thompson, Matt Wolford, Marty Boller, Robert Miklo, David Woodruff, Meg George RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: None DETERMINE QUORUM A quorum was determined at 6:03 pm and Bishop called the meeting to order. Lawrence nominated Pfohl to serve as Acting Secretary, seconded by Bishop. Motion carried 4-0 APPROVAL OF MINUTES Pfohl stated she reviewed the minutes and had a couple of minor changes she gave Tharp. Lawrence moved to accept the minutes as amended, seconded by Pfohl. Motion carried (4-0 Story Absent) PUBLIC COMMENT - None ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION 1 ACTION a. Terminal Building Historic Preservation and Modernization — Tharp stated give everyone background information, 5 years ago, Congress passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law which was signed and within that program there were dollars that could be applied for by airports to construct terminal buildings. Tharp stated that they were unsuccessful in getting grant funds and that those programs were ending. Due to those conversations there was a group that took interest in placing the terminal building on the National Register and they were attending the meeting tonight to talk with the Commission about the process and if that designation was made, how that would affect the airport. Tharp introduced Marty Boller who introduced the rest of the attendees from the Friends of Historic Preservation. Boller introduced the rest of the members and then Robert Miklo spoke about the group's history and previous work. Boller described the building and the architect of the building Henry Fisk and the background of Fisk as an architect in Iowa City. Boller stated that they believed Fisk to be the first registered architect in Iowa City and Johnson County. Boller continued to describe the buildings that Fisk designed. Airport Commission September 11, 2025 Page 2 of 6 Boller stated that the building was one of the pieces most similar to the original building and recent projects to maintain the building helped to maintain the historic look. Woodruff stated that they wanted to be partners with the airport in helping to find architects and companies that would continue to help preserve the building in future projects. Boller noted that there are programs that help to provide funding for projects that can help the airport to manage the building. Bishop talked about the airport challenges with the building where the footprint for a terminal building is constrained. Bishop stated that he worked as a part time flight instructor and noted the HVAC systems were outdated and the building had other space issues. Pfohl stated that they had multiple flight instructors sharing office space which impacted training. Lawrence stated that the issues the airport has are economic and that this is a gateway to the city. Lawrence stated that grants are difficult to find and that when they did their space needs study and reviewed options for rehabilitating the building versus building new they chose to pursue the build new option due to the costs. Lawrence referenced the Ottumwa terminal building as a building that felt welcoming and was "wowed" when he saw it. Lawrence stated he wasn't opposed to having the building on the register and that if it opened the door to other options for funding he'd like to know about that. Miklo stated that if the building was on the register and the Commission wanted to demolish it or do something that would harm the historic nature, there would need to be some coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office. Tharp stated the FAA considers the building a historically significant building and any effort so any use of federal money would already be required to go through a process that Miklo described. Tharp stated that this is going to be an ongoing process and that right now the Airport Commission didn't need to take a position on the process if they didn't want to. Tharp stated that the state general aviation vertical infrastructure program had a $300,000 cap on new construction and $150,000 on rehabilitation projects. Tharp stated that the FAA priority scoring for terminal buildings is so low that without a program like they just saw, the chances of getting federal money to do something is nearly zero. Tharp also stated that the FAA also has rules on what portions of terminal buildings are eligible for funding and that many portions of the existing building wouldn't be eligible for grant funds. Miklo described some of those ways historic preservation projects is through tax credits. Tharp stated that since they are a government body, using tax credits requires more work to be able to utilize. Lawrence noted that anything they do to the building would be detrimental to airport business as they have no other locations to put people while work was ongoing. Tharp noted that the preservation work would continue and they would keep in communication. When the information was ready to be submitted they could bring that awareness back to the Commission and the Commission could then make a choice whether to support the placement request or not. Tharp stated that he and Thompson had been having conversations under the assumption that the terminal building was going to be around for a while and what improvements could be done to make the building better suited for airport operations. Thompson stated that he put together a plan with some a la carte type options and described those options like looking at the HVAC system or going bigger and doing a full rehabilitation and master plan for an expansion. Thompson mentioned that going to an electrical based system could be utilized to capture some of the energy supported by the solar array. Members discussed what the next steps should be and what the focus would take. Bishop asked if they need a motion and Tharp responded that at this point he just need a consensus and he believed that Airport Commission September 11, 2025 Page 3 of 6 the Commission was saying they would move forward with the HVAC system improvement options. Thompson stated that they would expect this to be a state grant application project as early as next year. b. Airport Construction Projects: i. FAA grant projects — 1 . Runway 12/30 Displaced Threshold — Tharp stated they are still waiting for the manufacturer to get information on the permanent fixtures for the temporary lights that have been installed. Tharp noted that while they were doing the inspection for this project they noticed a couple of panels that had cracked in the newly paved areas. Tharp stated that the contractor was notified so they can plan the replacement. Lawrence asked about the repairs and Tharp stated they would be a replacement and that they would have a runway closure at some point for it. 2. Runway 7/25 & 12/30 Pavement Maintenance — Tharp stated that Thompson had prepared a draft work order for the project and that they were still waiting for the project go -letter from the FAA. Lawrence asked about the lifespan of concrete. Tharp stated the design life is 20 years but the practical life is near 40 years. ii. Iowa DOT grant projects 1. T-hangar Building — Tharp stated that this was on hold until next spring and they would re -apply for the project next spring. Tharp stated they would know what the last FAA allocation from BIL was so that would help finalize numbers 2. Wildlife Mitigation Study — Tharp stated the USDA guys were collecting their data. c. Airport "Operations i. Budget — Tharp noted that the budget committee was Chair, Secretary, and himself. Tharp stated that he had done a preliminary budget writeup and he was already showing a surplus. Tharp noted there were a couple of hangars that would be undergoing a CPI inflator. Tharp noted for the last budget year, they had a budget that was submitted with a surplus of about $4000 dollars and the last report showed a surplus of $10,000. Tharp stated he believed the city was going to release the budget system on October 1 st ii. Management — 1. Ground lease with McGrath Holdings LLC — a. Public Hearing — Bishop opened the hearing at 7:12pm. Tharp stated that this lot was originally part of the Dreusicke Toyota dealership agreement and that before Dreusicke sold the dealership this agreement expired. Tharp noted that McGrath wanted to update the sign and he offered the same agreement they had with Dreusicke and McGrath responded they didn't want the sign that badly. Tharp stated they then settled on the trade of being able to use the sign for the cost of the ground maintenance. Bishop closed the public hearing at 7:14pm b. Consider a resolution #A25-14 approving aground lease with McGrath — Orozco moved the resolution, seconded by Lawrence. Motion carried 4-0 (Story Absent) F e. Airport Commission September 11, 2025 Page 4 of 6 iii. Events — 1 . Young Eagles (Aug 16th) - Tharp stated they had about 45 kids get rides and that they did have a way for kids to be on a wait list for rides for no-shows. Tharp noted that the event ended a little early due to the heat, but that all the kids who were there got a ride. 2. Pancake Breakfast (Aug 24) - Tharp stated that the breakfast was absolutely phenomenal and that the weather was some of the best it's ever been. Tharp stated that they're looking at doing something a little different with the car locations because people will still show up as late as after 10am and getting them through the crowd is problematic. Tharp noted the typical partners were there. Lawrence said he flew out that morning and there was a lot of people that were on the ramp looking at aircraft. Tharp noted they used to have Civil Air Patrol helping but then they stopped participating. Wolford noted he believed it was due to a lack of volunteers overall in the local group. 3. Autocross (Sept 14, Oct 19) — Tharp stated that this weekend was a weekend for the group to be active. Tharp stated he was out on the pavement recently and said it was getting to be pretty bad and didn't know how many more years the group would be using the airport. 4. Climate Fest (Sept 22) — Tharp stated they were also planning for Climate Fest and that Sarah Gardner, Climate Action Coordinator for the city was there to also tell them a bit more about the plans. Gardner shared plans for the day stated they would have some activities in the viewing area and they were working with Public Space One. Gardner stated that in the conference room they would have an art exhibit and tours of the solar array. There was also going to be some activities in the viewing area. FBO / Flight Training Reports i. Jet Air — Wolford stated that he didn't have a lot to update but they've been extremely busy. Wolford noted they've been active with survey aircraft staying here. Pfohl asked about the door proposal and Wolford responded that he was still working with some manufacturers to choose an option. Commission Members' Reports — Orozco asked for clarification on plans for phase 2 of the solar array. Tharp stated they ended the planning of that project to use the money for the hangar construction. Orozco also asked about the display jet and Tharp stated that he was still reaching out to veterans groups to let folks know the Airport had plans for the jet. Staff Report — Tharp stated that the City Managers Office had offered to have a representative come to city boards and commission meetings to discuss the upcoming vote on the local option sales tax if members were interested. Tharp described the proposed use of the funds and members discussed if they needed to have a conversation. Members declined the offer. Tharp reminded folks about the open meetings training scheduled for Terry Trueblood and that they would have food. SET NEXT REGULAR MEETING — Set the next meeting for October 9, 2025.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: None. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM THE AUGUST 21, 2025, MEETING: Motion: To accept the minutes from the August 21, 2025 meeting as amended. Motion carried on a 7/0 vote. Milster/McKnight PUBLIC DISCUSSION: 1► •17T� LOST SALES TAX: Iowa City's Assistant City Manager, Kirk Lehman, presented information on the Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) ballot measure. A LOST tax is a 1 % retail sales tax. Ninety three percent of communities in Iowa have this tax in place. Necessities including rent, groceries, and utilities are not taxed with this additional 1 %. The Iowa City Council decided to put his measure on the ballot based on a community wide survey. The measure will be on the November 4tn ballot and needs a minimum of 50% approval to pass. The reason this measure is being considered now includes state property tax reforms, limited taxable property valuation growth and inflation pressures. The amount of revenue is projected at 8-10 million per year for Iowa City. Coralville is also considering it on their November ballot, and it is already in place in some other Johnson County municipalities. The City of Iowa City previously had a LOST sales tax that was in 1 Preliminary Minutes September 18, 2025 effect from 2010-2013 for flood mitigation measures after the flood of 2008. It was on the ballot in 2014 but did not pass at that time. The distribution of LOST funds if approved would be 50% property tax relief, 25% for affordable housing, 10% public infrastructure/faciliites,15% for community partnerships. If adopted it would go into effect July 1, 2026. Commissioner Milster asked if affordable housing funds include off campus student housing. The City of Iowa City normally follow federal guidelines regarding affordable housing opportunities regarding students. McKnight asked about increasing the LOST amount above 1 %. It cannot go above 1 %, per state law. There is no sunset on the measure, which will be better for long term planning. Milster asked for some talking points on how to discuss this with community members and how it might affect seniors and the Senior Center. Impacts could potentially include public facilities funds, community partnerships to help local seniors, or affordable housing/property tax relief. Lehman noted that the City and commissioner's role is to inform the public. Greater Iowa City or City staff can also do a presentation at the Senior Center if there is interest. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW: DeLoach asked for help getting the word out about the Senior Center's new program, Grandbabies. She also highlighted the art class You Can Draw, the gourd crafting classes, and the Russian and Frech classes. The Pickleball Jamboree will take place on September 271" at the GreenState Family Fieldhouse. September 20t" will be the Soul Train Block Party with live DJ and food trucks; entry is a suggested donation to the pantry. There are a few remaining windows to be installed. Exterior door installation will occur after that. The BAS project will start on September 29t". Interior design for future renovations will start next year. COMMISSION OVERVIEW: Gilcrest noted he had some people question what the Senior Center Commission is for. LaTasha noted that the duties of the commission are on the Senior Center section of the City's webpage and people could be directed there. She noted that the commission helps set and review policies, report to Johnson County and the City Council. DeLoach also noted she is working on a special project in regard to the increasing number of seniors in the US and will be asking for assistance in the near future. McKnight asked if there is a large increase in seniors in the area. DeLoach noted that the US is in the middle of the so called "Grey Wave", which refers to the fact that around 10,000 people in the US are retiring each day. Iowa has the 4t" oldest population in the US and currently approximately 18% of Johnson County's population are seniors.
