c. Updates on instrument approach - called Cayla Morgan, FAA Airports Division and
discussed in person the lack of response from Jan Olsen. She follow-up and advised me
to call Frank Mitchell, FAA. I called and discussed the situation and he said that he is now
in charge of the approach procedure and there are some items that had not been
accomplished (obstruction survey specifically) and would put the items together for
resolution and a plan to move forward
d. Gate key access policy and restroom policy for condo owners needed. Discussed the
restroom situation with Paul Krauss, Planning Dept., he advised us that when he
discussed the situation with the developer that they (owners) would have access to the
restrooms. We should come up with a fee for cleaning and supplies ($50.00 per year per
building?)
e. Aviation Properties has begun prep work for phase II. Plan 7 to 8 hangars and plans on
completing in October. After those building are sold and as others come forward he will
complete the remainder of the project. As of today the site has been filled and graded.
f. Calls to Hangars Unlimited again went unanswered, will continue to follow up. Did receive
a postcard (as an aircraft owner) stating that he is planning on starting the next phase.
His lease required 80% subscription (commitments and 50% deposits) prior to building
g. Storm water fees for the airport have come to the attention of Finance and AMG, Shelley,
Director of Storm Water and Jamelle are to review the fees and how the airport is
charged for Storm Water. Meeting was held and a map of the current airport and tenants
(commercial) identified and a program is to be implemented to recover some of the fees.
Others we have to be absorbed by remaining tenants. Shelley is working to insure that
the correct fees and credits are being applied to the airport property

New Business
Chairman asked about the garbage cans that were removed from between the hangar
rows. Garcia explain that the City now included the Airport in the recycle program and that
garbage and recycle bins have been located at the north end, center and south end. Discussion
from those in attendance mentioned that it was inconvenience and recommended that the airport
add garbage cans (small) at the exit gates so as tenants exit the airport can drop garbage as they
exit. AMG staff will follow up with City.
Coleman advised that due to limited meeting space at City Hall that advisory meetings
would be moved to on-sight. Starting in October 2004, the AAB meeting will be held at the Airport
Office; everything else remains unchanged.
Open discussions
Chairman asked that AMG staff advise tenants that prior to moving aircraft from locations that
owners be advised. This came from the maintenance and replacement of the hangar lighting in Hangars
rows 2-10. Although no damage or incidents resulted and AMG staff was very careful in moving aircraft,
some owners were concerned. AMG staff will advise tenants in a timely fashion when their aircraft are
required to be moved and will either receive permission or have the tenant move their aircraft. AMG asks
that tenants be prompt in moving their aircraft so required maintenance can be accomplished in a timely
manner and with as little inconvenience to all airport users.
