The Board unanimously approved. Mark Seesing presented to the Board that the Control Tower Contract would be open for bid on November 8, 1990, at 2:15 p.m. at City Hall. Midwest Air and one other company had asked for a bid packet. Mark Seesing put in a bid for the City. He indicated to the Board that he had talked with Tom Schulte of Senator Bond and Senator Danforth's office about the City's reluctance to bid on the contract and that he had sent a letter to the Senators, to Representative Bill Emerson and to the FAA regarding bidding on the contract. A letter was also sent to the Department of Labor regarding wage determina- tion. Mark explained to the Board that the City is bound to accept the lowest qualified bid and that chances are good that the City will have the lowest qualified bid. Doug Leslie also explained to the Board that the City makes a recommendation to FAA as to which bid should be accepted. Mark Seesing reported on the status of the A.I.P. Projects. The T -hanger taxiway spurs are near completion. The painting and blacktop should be completed by the beginning of next week. The signs are on backorder for at least another month. The ten unit T -hanger will be opened for bid on November 19 at City Hall at 4:00 p.m. He also indicated that the drain tiles were deteriorated and that they had to be extended 120 feet out from under the concrete. There was discussion on drainage problems around Cape Central Airway T -hangers, and it was decided to address the problem at a future date. AIRPORT BOARD MEETING Page 2 After discussion on the time frame from design to construction of the new terminal building project and what to do with the old terminal building, J.T. Seesing moved, seconded by Alan Maki, that the Board make a recommendation to the City Council for building of the new terminal building at the proposed site north of the existing terminal building. Truman Cole questioned whether or not this was the proper site for the new terminal building. It was his suggestion that the new terminal_ be built on the opposite side of the airport off of Nash Road for security reasons and for the industrial development of the Nash Road area. There was considerable discussion on what it would cost to put the terminal at Mr. Cole's proposed site. After further discussion by the Board as to what it would take to make a sound decision as to where to put the terminal site, Alan Maki withdrew his second and J.T. Seesing withdrew his motion to make a recommendation to the City Council. There was further discussion on what monies would come from FAA and what monies would have to be paid out-of-pocket by the City. Jim Bowman and Jerry McClanahan agreed that the Board was back where it started regarding the proposed terminal site and that the Board needed some direction. Bill Walker questioned what the Board should address next month regarding the proposed site. He stated that he would like a second opinion on the figures that were previously proposed and a list of the benefits of each proposed location before going forward with a recommendation to the City Council. Doug Leslie said he would attempt to get this information for the Board before the next meeting. Mark Seesing reviewed the enplanement figures with the Board and predicted that the 10,000 enplanment requirement would be met this year but will review it further at next month's meeting. Truman Cole stated that since the enplanement figures are the same as last year that he sees no improvements for the airport usage. J.T. Seesing suggested that we get TWE to do some promotional campaigns instead of the City being responsible for all the advertising. He said the new owners may be more receptive to this than Air Midwest was. Mark Seesing presented to the Board a Memorandum and a map of the airport prepared by Kent Bratton of Planning Services regarding the procedure to change the street names for airport roadways. Jerry McClanahan entertained a motion to table the decision to change the street names until the next meeting so each member of the Board could review the information provided. Bill Walker suggested that if the Board did decide to table the decision that careful consideration be given to which roads are named after certain individuals depending on what they have contributed to the airport. Chairman McClanahan moved, and J.T. Seesing seconded, that the decision be tabled until the next meeting. The Board unanimously approved. AIRPORT BOARD MEETING Page 2 Mark Seesing indicated to the Board that the date of the monthly meetings needed to be changed because the City Council now uses the chambers on the first Wednesday of each month. He also stated that eventually the meetings may be moved out to the airport once the highway construction is completed. After discussion, Bill Walker moved, and Jim Bowman seconded, that the monthly meeting of the Airport Board be moved to the first Tuesday of each month. The Board unanimously approved. JM:gc l� There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 6:00 Sincerely Jim Bowman Secretary DIVISION OF PLANNING SERVICES MEMORANDUM November 5, 1990 1► TO: Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport Advisory Board FROM: Kent M. Bratton, City Planner km6 RE: Procedure for Naming Airport Streets In order to properly name the streets at the airport, the following procedure needs to be followed: 1. Selection of Names. Names should not duplicate any existing street name, nor should they be phonetically similar if avoidable. The Division of Planning Services checks on proposed names, in consultation with the Police Department and Engineering Division. 2. Location. The street to be named must be accurately located (described) for law enforcement purposes. V► Planning Services and Engineering can assist in this. 3. Adoption. Streets must be officially named by an ordinance passed by the City Council. The City Attorney prepares bills to be considered for passage by the Council. This requires three readings by the Council, which occur at two different meetings of the Council. 4. Effective Date. Once all three readings have been conducted and the ordinance adopted, the ordinance goes into effect ten days after final reading.
