Jay Honeck addressed the commission regarding the moving of the United Hangar.
Honeck urged the commission to consider a proposal to move the United Hangar to the
south end of Hangar 18/36 as an alternative to demolition.
Items for Discussion/Action:
A. Farmers National Agreement - Commission discussed the management agreement
with Farmer's National. The agreement provided for an opportunity to cancel the
agreement. Staff recommended a continuation of the agreement. Staley moved to
continue the agreement, Rettig seconded, and the motion passed 5-0.
B. Ron Wade offer to purchase part of lot located on S. Gilbert— It was noted that
Mr. Wade had passed away prior to the meeting. Hartwig noted he had spoken with
family members regarding this offer and that they were still interested. David Hughes
was asked questions regarding the position of the parcel. It was noted that this parcel
is currently inside a protection zone, and now that the airport has control of the land
the FM would not release it for sale. It was noted that any lease options would have
to be approved by the FAA, and they have acceptable uses in place. Hughes noted he
would get copies of this information for the commission. Hughes also commented that
after the runway extension is completed the protection zone may shift, removing this
parcel from protection. At that time the airport could revisit offers.
C. FAA/IDOT Projects - Earth Tech—David Hughes
a. Runway 7/25 — Hughes noted that the project has been underway but has
encountered a wetter than normal late summer/early fall. He noted that
approximately 50% of the contract time has elapsed and 33% of the work has

been completed. He noted they are continuing to monitor the project, but there
could be a possibility of the Grading work being pushed into 2007.
b. Taxi-lane North Tee's and Parking Lot Rehab — Hughes noted work on this
project began on August 2e. Approximately 50% of the pavement and all the
storm sewer work have been completed. He noted a temporary repair was
done to the area near the fuel pump. He also noted that the SW corner of
Hangar A was damaged during delivery of supplies, and they were working
with the truck owner and insurance to get repairs made.
c. Terminal Apron
i. Update — Hughes commented that the design for this would be
completed this fall so the project could be bid and started as soon as
weather would allow in the spring. He noted that the Supplemental
Agreement paperwork had not been completed as planned. Staff
recommended deferring resolution until next meeting.
ii. Supplemental Agreement No. 7
1. Consider a Resolution approving Supplemental Agreement
No. 7 for services related to Terminal Apron Rehabilitation
— Motion to defer until next regular meeting by Staley, seconded
by Rettig. Motion Passed 5-0

forecast section of this report. Once the section was complete another meeting of the
committee would be held to discuss the contents.
E. Consultant Agreement with Snyder & Associates — Tharp noted that this
agreement ended on Sept 8th. Commission held discussions on renewing the
agreement. It was decided against renewing.
F. Jet Air Management Agreement— Commission discussed the current agreement. It
was noted that this agreement was written to help provide for Airport Management
when there was not an operations employee or when they are not if the office. It was
recommended that this agreement be renegotiated with Jet Air. Timmons indicated
that Jet Air was willing to begin discussions.
G. Aviation Commerce Park — Hartwig noted that Harry Wolf was unable to attend the
meeting.
H. Parking Policy—Tharp noted he had been working on a parking policy and that with
the construction work for the new parking lot, this would be a good time for the airport
to adopt a policy. Discussion was held on how complex this policy needed to be, and
who would be in charge of implementing it. Commission asked Tharp to prepare a
policy regarding vehicles parking longer than 14 days at the airport.
I. Airport "Operations": Strategic Plan-Implementation; Budget; and Airport
Management - Hartwig noted they had received Fiscal Year 2008 budget paperwork
earlier in the day and that it was due back to the city on Sept 25. A Budget Meeting
