CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS The Airport Board convened on Wednesday, February 17, 1988, at 4:00 P.M. at City Hall with Chairman Paul Miles presiding. Present were Paul Miles, Chairman; Jerry McClanahan, Secretary; Truman Cole, Dave Patterson, Glenn Reeves. Also present were City Manager Ron Fischer, Assistant City Manager Al Stoverink and Air- port Manager Ray Johnson. The meeting was called to order and upon motion, duly made and seconded, the minutes of the previous meeting were unanimously approved. The following report was given by Airport Manager Ray Johnson. 1. Automatic card controlled security gate has been in- stalled and is operational. 2. The Airport Rules and Regulations and Airport Operations Manual have been completely revised in accordance with FAA regu- lations. Those manuals were distributed to members of the Air- port Board. 3. Capt. Donald Roberts of the Cape Girardeau Police Department has been designated the Airport Security Officer and has been assigned on a part-time temporary basis to Airport Security at the Terminal Building. 4. Johnson advised the Board of the Federal Funding made available with new legislation enacted this year. The Municipal Airport will be eligible for $300,000 in entitlement monies for Airport improvements. The regulations have not as of yet been issued and it is not clear exactly what projects would be eligible for funding. However, FAA officials of the Airport Improvements Division, Kansas City, Missouri, will be contacting our City offi- cials in the near future to schedule a joint planning session so that improvement projects may be developed. Since the funding is available this Federal Fiscal Year and the planning phase has not been completed, Johnson advised the Board that he has written FAA requesting that the available funding be carried over to the next Fiscal Year to allow more time for study and planning. 5. Regarding the current AIP Project, Johnson advised the Board that Booker & Associates, Airport Engineers, have not com- pleted their testing of the apron overlay but will be doing so when weather permits. Also, the pilot control lighting system and the beacon, both of which are to be installed as a part of the AIP AIRPORT ADVISORY MINUTES WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1988 PAGE 2 Project, have been delayed due to the unavailability of equipment from the manufacturer. The equipment for both systems is on order and will be installed upon receipt. 6. FBO Hangar. The canvass door for Cape Central Airways has been delivered and will be installed in the near future, weather permitting. 7. Air Traffic Control Tower. Johnson advised the Board that an effort to secure additional Federal Funding to extend the hours of operation for the Air Traffic Control Tower did not meet with FAA approval based on the limited number of operations per hour between the hours of 6:00 and 10:00 P.M. Therefore, the re- quest for funding has been denied and letter to that effect from the FAA was distributed to Board members. 8. Airport operating budget for Fiscal Year 88/89 in the amount of $315,000, has been submitted to the City. Included in this budget are monies for an automatic chlorinator for the water supply system at the Airport and salary for Airport Manager, should the City elect to fund such a position. 9. Limited Certificate. Johnson advised the Board that based on the level of air carrier service provided at the Airport, the Cape Municipal Airport is eligible for a Limited Certificate designation which would exempt the Airport from certain FAA regulations under the new revised FAR Part 139. These exemptions would in no way compromise the safety or security of the Airport, nor would it have any adverse impact on eligibility of future Federal Funding for Airport improvements. It would, however, lessen some of the paper work and recordkeeping required by FAA for a full certified Airport. In contacting the FAA authorities, Johnson advised the Board that he was encouraged to pursue appli- cation for the limited certificate. In action by the Board, a motion was made by Reeves and seconded by McClanahan directing Johnson to proceed with application for the limited certificate designation. Motion was passed unanimously. Discussion was held concerning the position of Airport Manager. It was the feeling of the Board members that there is a definite need for a person of high calibre with marketing skills who could promote the Airport and further enhance its image as an asset to the community. Concomitantly, the feeling was expressed that something must be done with the Airport Terminal Building to provide an Airport Manager with a marketable product. On that issue, motion was made by Cole, seconded by Patterson, that the City Council set aside some monies each year for the purpose of constructing a new Airport Terminal, still hopeful that the $300,000 in Federal Funding now available might be used for that purpose. Motion carried. AIRPORT ADVISORY MINUTES WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1988 PAGE 3 There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 6:00 P.M.
