Item #1 : Call to Order
Chairman Wallace welcomed the TV viewers and those attending in person.
Item #2 : Approval of the February 7, 2002 minutes
• Motion was made to approve the minutes. The motion carried.
Item #3 : Old Business:
A. Construction Projects Update.
T-Hangar Drainage Project. W. Jones reported the project is all but finished except for
some clean up. A Change Order may be required to place the sump pump discharge into the
underground pipe to the nearest storm drainage inlet.
Forest Service Taxiway. W. Jones said all topographical work has been completed. He
and Mr. Boudreaux met with the FAA in Fort Worth last week and discussed funding for the
taxiway. Director Boudreaux informed the Board of a problem with the FAA funding the taxiway
for the Forest Service. The FAA is requiring all security items at airports nationwide be paid for
first. He stated he had a one-on-one conversation with Ed Agnew (FAA) in Fort Worth about the
project. It is possible that if some airport in the region doesn't plan to use their discretionary funds
during the year, then the funding can be routed to another airport. Board members discussed getting
the politicians involved, or just informing them of the situation. It was decided to wait at least until
the end of July to see how the FAA funding is taking place. W. Jones said there is another option,
and that is letting the Forest Service get back with the FAA regarding the funding.
Runway Resurface and Taxiway Widening Project. W. Jones stated the project is on
hold and the contractor should be back on the job by middle April when everything is dry enough
to begin the rejuvenation of the taxiway. It is possible that one change will be made in the project,
- 1 -
• to widen Delta instead of Foxtrot. The cost would be an equal trade-off. A discussion followed
regarding different parts of the project. It will later require a displaced threshhold and closing the
runway to complete the project. As the project progresses additional meetings will take place with
staff to determine how the work can be finished by closing the runway the least amount of time.
Answering questions about doing some of the work at night, he said it would require a Change
Order. He explained that when the project was started the current airport management did not want
the work done at night, although on previous airport projects, work had been done at night and the
additional cost was built into those projects. Chairman Wallace said he would prefer to see the
runway closed for the least amount of time.
Hangar Roof and Siding Project. Director Boudreaux said staff had met with the architect
and they plan to have the plans out by the end of March. The type of product they plan to use will
provide extra insulation by creating a dead space between the existing siding and the new siding.
Chairman Wallace asked that a note be sent to Greg McCoy, Director of the A and P school
informing them that the Board had responded to his questions.
B. Airport Signage Update. D. Bowman read a letter from the Arkansas Highway Department
addressed to Chairman Wallace which announced highway signs for the airport will be installed.
Director Boudreaux said the signs requested said "Fayetteville Municipal Airport and Museum".
Director Boudreaux thanked all involved in this effort including Board Members Chairman Wallace
and Dave Bowman, Mayor Coody and former Mayor Fred Vorsanger.
C. Contract Tower Program. Director Boudreaux called attention to the "Draft" letter from the
• FAA in the agenda packet, which mentions some review had been conducted and the cost-sharing
formula has changed. Now the City would pay 70% rather than the previously mentioned 72%.
He plans to talk to the tower and pilots regarding the hours the tower is open, possibly cost could
be reduced with a reduction in hours. Chairman Wallace asked the Contract Tower/Cost Sharing
Program be placed on the June agenda with a report from the Airport staff.
D. Air Fest 2002 Sponsorship. Director Boudreaux reported that City Attorney Kit Williams had
said with the Airport Board's support, the Airport can support Air Fest with up to 2,000 gallons of
aircraft fuel as a sponsor, adding that by being a sponsor, the Airport Office should be included on
any advertising, posters, T-shirts, etc.
Motion was made that the Airport support the Air Fest as a sponsor by
providing up to 2,000 gallons of aircraft fuel. The motion carried.
E. Forest Service Project. Director Boudreaux stated the City had approved the Forest Service
lease and has a signed lease back from the Forest Service. Actual personnel on the field will be three
to five employees. Firefighting troops will be bused from some other location to the Airport.
F. Corporate/Executive Ramp Project. The project is moving along Director Boudreaux reported.
The City Council approved the Task Order for design and work, the Arkansas State Aeronautics
Commission approved grants for the taxiway and apron, but they require two signed leases. One
-2-
• tenant is ready to sign and he is working with the second one.
G. Airport Business and Operations Center Policy. Chairman Wallace asked that it be placed
on the April agenda for consideration. Director Boudreaux reported that staff had been removing
passenger baggage belts from the building and they will be put up for sale. The revenue from the
sale will go towards renovation the facility for offices. Chairman Wallace stated the 3rd Strategic
Planning Meeting would help determine the permanent use of the facility.
ITEM #4: New Business
A. Director's Report.
Monthly Activity Report. Director Boudreaux briefed the Board on his report in the agenda.
Lease Activity. Sunshine Totally Wireless has leased additional office space. The owner
of the company also flies for a railroad salvage company and burned 900 gallons of AV-Gas last
month. Jim Bell does all his maintenance. Mr. Bell has moved into a maintenance hangar and now
has additional work as a result of the move. Director Boudreaux, answering Chairman Wallace,
said Mr. Bell is paying the same rent as the U. of A. who rents the other half of the hangar. He is
required to have insurance as other businesses do. He said he also is working with Ken Schossow
at Wings for a new lease. Chairman Wallace said the Board hopes to move for some sort of parity.
Five Year Plan Discussion. Director Boudreaux said the Trip Report was attached in the
agenda packet. A "Draft" plan was in the agenda and he would like comments back from the Board.
A Five Year Plan will be presented for approval in April. The idea is to have projects that will
• create revenue for the Airport. W. Jones, answering F. Burggraf, said the funding didn't come
through for the Fire Training Facility. Director Boudreaux said the Fire Department has moved a
couple of training offices to the Airport Fire Station. When the Forest Service facility is built, they
will build a road off Lancaster Drive, reducing vehicle traffic on the hangar ramp.
B. Financial Coordinator's Report, J. Nicholson reported the fuel sales have remained steady and
grown some. The tower operations are down, but we have had quite a few charter jets, explaining
that industry-wide the charter business is going up because of difficulties getting through
commercial airports. He commented that hopefully we were positioning for this trend. He briefed
the Board on the charts in the agenda packet. Reviewing the fuel prices at area airports, he said this
Airport is still the lowest. Sales in February, average per day, are almost the same as January's,
except February is three days less Director Boudreaux reported. Answering Chairman Wallace's
question of what the relationship between the fuel cost, fuel sales, and based aircraft, he said about
one-third of the sales are to aircraft based at the Airport. Drake Aviation purchases 2,000 gallons
fuel a month, but if they become a provider in Springdale we may lose that business. Chairman
Wallace recalled that when the Airport began the fueling operation, the goal was to keep fuel prices
low as possible to attract as much corporate and based aircraft as possible. J. Nicholson said
approximately 70% of the sales are corporate sales, and corporate customers are interested in an
array of services. F. Sperandeo said he wanted the fuel back at $ 1 .95 and asked about pre-
purchasing blocks of fuel. Director Boudreaux said the Airport only has a 10,000 gallon AV-Gas
fuel tank, and said the based aircraft already pays less than others and the credit card users. J.
-3.
• Nicholson explained the cost of fuel from the wholesaler continues to go up while we have kept the
fuel prices down. F. Burggraf spoke of the comments taken off the internet about this airport and
they didn't mention the fuel price. R. McKinney said that would be playing with commodities, and
that doesn't need to come into this meeting. Chairman Wallace emphasized the goal of 200 based
aircraft and there are three T-Hangars vacant. He would like the Airport to have awaiting list for
hangars. He would like to see a direct letter to everyone that has a plane in Northwest Arkansas
telling that Drake has hangars to rent and has low cost fuel. F. Burggraf said 200 aircraft was our
goal, but it looks like it is better to have more corporate aircraft than GA aircraft. Responding to R.
McKinney, J. Nicholson said the pilots are able to access the weather information through AOPA
at the FBO counter, and although some pilots would like to have better weather information, but we
have kept AOPA to keep our costs down. R. McKinney mentioned a company he would like to give
staff a demonstration of their weather information. Chairman Wallace said we need to be sure we
are consistent and do a quality job. P. Ross said the price of fuel does matter to the small guy, its
been like a hook-and- bait, then prices have gone up. Chairman Wallace said the fuel price is only
a piece of the problem. R. McKinney reminded there are pilots on the Board and the Board does not
need to get into a conflict of interest.
Director Boudreaux pointed out an FBO hangar is in the Five Year Plan. The Airport plans
to install tie-downs. Staff is working on re-marking the ramp and getting the lights fixed.
Chairman Wallace said the Airport needs to find some ways of marketing directly, not
passive advertising, do active advertising, to do intensional, focused marketing. M. Andrews said
it seems that a financial decision needs to be made, to have 200 aircraft, or more corporate aircraft?
Director Boudreaux commented our best area now is from corporate aircraft.
• ITEM #5: Other Business
A. Items from the Airport Board. F. Sperandeo commented on the rate increase on the hangar
renewal notice. The increase was not unreasonable, but would have liked to had a letter prior to the
renewal letter. Director Boudreaux explained the increase was in accordance with the provisions in
the lease, and the renewal letter is normally sent sixty days in advance and commented that Mr.
Sperandeo's may have not been sixty days. Chairman Wallace stated the rate increase was a Board
item, saying the Board's Policies and Procedures states that it needs to come to the Airport Board
first and then go to the City Council. Director Boudreaux said that if he had done anything out of
line, he apologized. He felt what he was doing was fair as T-Hangar rentals had not increased in ten
years, because of continuous hangar door repairs, and other hangar related projects. Chairman
Wallace recounted that this Board is accountable to the City Council. Director Boudreaux said he
would bring his recommendation to the next meeting. Chairman Wallace asked the Board members
to notify him of dates that would be available for a third Strategic Planning Meeting.
B. Items from the Public. J. Scanlon asked about the possibility of a 2400 ft. grass runway that
Ultra-Lights could use? K. Dearing questioned that if the lease says the rent can be increased, does
Mr. Boudreaux not have the management powers to increase rent. Chairman Wallace said what we
are trying to do is have the Airport Board work hand-in-glove with the City Council, there is a long
history of the Airport Board finding out things after-the-fact. K. Dearing asked to be called when

• they found out exactly what the by-laws said.
P. Ross asked for a copy of the Airport Business Policy.
Several commented on the state of the hangar restrooms, odor, floor should be tiled using
ceramic tile, and staff reported that the tile project was under way.
Director Boudreaux said he had a letter from the Arkansas Technology school asking if the
Airport would like to have a booth in their hangar at Air Fest, and if we do, he would like some
Board members to help man the booth. D. Bowman said that would be another chance at direct
marketing of the Airport.
Director Boudreaux said he would like to have a Pilots Day at the Airport with a cookout.
It was suggested and agreed that a Saturday rooming would be the best time. The Air Museum was
suggested as a location and the Board agreed, asking for a date to be set.
An FAA Safety Day is planned for June or August.
F. Sperandeo commented that he appreciated Ray's (Boudreaux) leadership
P. Ross said this is a nice airport and it takes everyone working together.
Meeting adjourned.

• MONTHLY REPORT
Director, Aviation and Economic Development
Fayetteville, Arkansas
March 2002
March started with a trip to Ft. Worth to meet with the folks in FAA and to discuss our program
for the future. We attended the FAA Partnership Conference. A trip report was provided at the
March meeting since it was late in the month.
We have responded through the ADED response system for two large call centers and a
warehouse project. We are recommending the Business and Technology Park for the Call
Centers and the South Industrial Park for the Warehouse project.
We responded to Executive Jet staff inquiries on our capability to handle the BBJ in Fayetteville.
We have responded and assured them that we will get the support equipment necessary to support
them. They are essentially short body 737 aircraft.
We met with a representative from a Part 135 operator from North Little Rock. He is very
interested in expanding into the Fayetteville Area. Many details to be worked out.
We visited with a promoter that is interested in a concert at the field. We listened and left it that
we would need a written agreement with a guarantee attached and a good insurance policy with
• the city as additional insured. We could handle a project like that as long as it did not interfere
with the operations. Might be able to do it in the field on the East side. Could mean as much as
$ 100,000 for a two or three day effort.
I attended the Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District Meeting in Harrison. It was
a good opportunity to meet with other economic developers and to talk aviation as an economic
development asset. Met a lot of very influential people.
We have met with Dale Frederick about a project to park ATR aircraft out of service with the
airlines. They would be maintained in a flyable condition. We have suggested the site by the
former FBO building. The area (80X500) should be able to park about 20 aircraft.
We met with representatives from the two museums. Able to get them to sign a statement of
purpose in order for the two organizations to get together for the move of Ozark to Fayetteville.
Following the initial meeting, the two boards were able to sign and commit to the venture which
requires them to pursue accreditation as a single entity. Ozark wants to build a hangar next to
the former FBO and use it for the flying operation. The parking lot behind the FBO will be used
for static displays. The former FBO will be used for artifacts.
I was the guest speaker at the Lions Club. Rick McKinney's Dad was there. He is a member.
• Following the Planning Session March 27, 1 met with Bill Corley and he is eager to help with our
survey and our marketing program. Thanks to him we might be able to get a final program put
• together. He has a marketing background and the time to help us out.
We are proceeding with the process to get City approval for a Large Scale development project
for our Corporate Ramp Project and for the Museum Project. We have also requested a re-
zoning of the property to be used for the Corporate Ramp from C-2 to I- 1 . This property was
missed when the rest of the airport was re-zoned a few years ago.
Through a mutual friend, I was able to spend some time with the owner of the new Luscombe
venture currently located in Altus, OK. We would love to move the operation to Fayetteville.
We planted a seed and hope to see it grow. This is a long term project.
I met privately with Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce President and CEO, Bill Ramsey, and
their Chairman of the Board, Bobby Ferrell and discussed how we might cooperate in the
promotion of our airport and in Economic Development activities. They were very positive in
their outlook and their support. This will be a very good partnership.
I have had several meetings with the two clients wishing to build in the new corporate area and
am making very good progress. I hope to have final documents for your review very soon. The
lease rates for the ground will be the same as established previously, 5.05 per foot per year. One
of the tenants will be an aviation business and will consume 400,000 gallons of Jet A a year. They
will purchase their own fuel. We will pump it for a fee. We have settled on a schedule much like
the U of A agreement. This project could bring major maintenance and several good jobs initially
• and has very good growth potential.

Dear Mr , Boudreaux :
This is to advise you of the Federal Aviation Administration ' s ( FAA )
plans regarding Federal funding for air traffic control ( ATC )
services at Drake Field ( FYV ) , Fayetteville , Arkansas .
• An updated Benefit /Cost ( B/C ) analysis for FYV ( enclosure 1 ) was
completed on January 30 , 2002 . Any site - specific information that
you provided , as well as the information from terminal area forecast
data , was used to compute the B/C . The FAA is pleased to announce
that FYV has achieved a B/C ratio of . 30 . Included in the enclosure
is the detailed analysis of your B/C .
Congress has provided a means to allow facilities like yours to
enter into the FAA ' s Contract Tower Program ( FCT ) through cost
sharing . If the airport sponsor is willing , this concept dictates
that the FAA will enter into an arrangement to share the cost of ATC
services . The formula used for determining the cost share is based
on the B/C ratio . This alternative is available to establish ATC
services for FYV . Cost sharing would allow ATC services at FYV with
the FAA funding 30 percent of the cost , while FYV would fund the
remaining 70 percent .
For your information , we are enclosing Section C of the contract ,
which covers the Statement of Work . If you have not , please take
the time to sign and return the Contract Airport Traffic Control
Tower Operating Agreement ( enclosure 2 ) . This will expedite
processing should necessary funding be obtained .

If you have any questions or concerns , you may contact Mr . Humberto
Garcia , ASW- 510L , Point of Contact for the FAA Contract Program in
the Southwest Region , at 817 - 222 - 5577 .
Sincerely ,
Raul C . Trevino

MEMORANDUM
TO: Airport Advisory Board
DATE: March 14, 2002
FROM: Ray M. Bou reaux
SUBJECT: DRAFT Five Year CapitArprovement Plan
Attached please find a "draft" Capital Improvement Plan for the next five years. While attending
the FAA Partnership Conference, it became evident that we need to update our plans for the future
and have them submitted to the FAA for inclusion in the NPIAS. Only those plans included in the
• national plan can be funded.
We have added several projects that will result in revenue being generated into the Airport Fund.
Please carefully review the proposed projects and offer additional projects that might help our cash
flow. It is our plan to pursue excellence in our support of all aspects of General Aviation. As we
pursue the larger operator, we also allow for expansion of the smaller aircraft owner and operator
with an additional T-Hangar building.
Once the east parallel taxiway is completed, the east side of the airport will be opened to
development. We have phased the taxiway development in three projects. These projects depend
on our ability to compete for discretionary funds from the FAA. Our annual entitlement is only
$ 150,000.00 and even with 50/50 projects it will take a long time to get all of the needed work done.
I do believe that our chances for funding out of discretionary funds are good.
Please get your changes and/or.additional projects to staff before the next board meeting.

Dear Ray:
I want to thank you for allowing Two Hearts to host a Craft Fair at Drake Field on March
15, 16 and 17.
Your facility was a wonderful place for the Craft Fair and was greatly enjoyed by all of
the vendors and those who were shopping.
I had 25 vendors participate; this included the food vendor in a trailer and the food
• vendor at the counter. As agreed I am enclosing a check in the amount of $320.00 -
$ 10.00 per vendor plus $ 10.00 per vendor who used electricity. There were 7 vendors
who used electric.
Every vendor who participated has voiced a desire to participate in the next craft fair and
I have already had requests for 5 additional booths at the next fair. I desire to use the
airport facility again on June 15 and 16 in conjunction with the Air Show. I need to
check on events at the air show but would be considering a two day fair this time —
Saturday and Sunday. I would also like to consider requesting the City of Fayetteville
Fire Fighters to consider hosting a Pancake Breakfast in conjunction with the Craft Fair.
We also would like some of the booths to be outside and perhaps a number of other
vendors outside. Some of the vendors can only do indoor fairs because of their products.
Everyone at the facility was very, very cooperative and helped wherever they could. It
was really appreciated. Thank you again for the kind rental of your facility.
Sincerely,
I
