protection and use will be considered for compatibility in land uses and
operations. Teague also mentioned moving responsibility from the city

expanding avionics and looking for restaurant opportunities. He said he
would like to add a pilot supply store and full-service fixed base operator

first and recruiting outside businesses second.

timing of adding new officers, absenteeism and the conditions of and
procedure for removing a board member were shared by Gaub and
discussed by the board. Preferences were given for moving the vote to
add officers to the first meeting of each year rather than the last and
removing board members following two unexcused absences in a

will move forward with at this time. The table below represents the projects that we intend to move
forward with at this time; however as in any given year, projects are dependent on the availability of
funding. Any changes to the agreed upon project list needs to be coordinated on your next SCIP and

Memorandum
To: Airport Advisory Board
From: Ingrid Gaub, Director of Public Works
Cc: Tim Mensonides, Airport Manager
Date: April 2, 2021
Re: AGENDA ITEM F3 – AIRPORT BOARD RULES OF PROCEDURE
One of our 2021 Work Plan items is the development of the Airport Board specific Rules of Procedure
that govern how the Airport Board functions and runs their meetings. Currently, the only specific rules
in place are what is written in City Code which does not cover all aspects of how the board should
function and run their meetings.
Attached you will find a revised draft of the Rules of Procedure incorporating the concerns and changes
identified by the Board at the February meeting and incorporating the City Attorney’s review. Because
some of these items require changes to the current City Code, staff suggests adoption of these
procedures following the revision of the City Code by the Council. It is anticipated that the proposed
Code Revisions (Item F4 on your Agenda) will go through the council approval process in May.

Memorandum

From: Ingrid Gaub, Director of Public Works
Cc: Tim Mensonides, Airport Manager
Date: April 2, 2021
Re: AGENDA ITEM F4 – AIRPORT RELATED CODE UPDATES
One of our 2021 Work Plan items is update the outdated sections of City Code related to Airport
Operations. This effort does not include the Zoning code changes which are currently in process and
being led by the City’s Community Development Department.
Attached you will find proposed revisions to several City Code sections that are specific to the Airport.
Since the time many of these codes were enacted there have been changes in our procedures and
also in the management of the airport and therefore the code needs to be revised to be current with
how the airport currently functions.
In addition, at the time some of this code was enacted, the City did not have a separate Rules and
Regulations document and so several items related to the rules and regulations were previously
included in the code. As part of a separate effort in 2021, staff is working to update the Rules and
Regulations and has determined that several elements in the code would be better managed in the
Rules and Regulations under an administrative process instead.
