It was unanimously approved by the commission to grant Fayetteville Municipal Airport $200,000.00 toward the construction of an FBO hangar. We are putting together the bid specifications and hope to have them ready by September 1 to put out for bids. Project estimate is $679,215 .00 for 18,750 SF. The schedule is to open bids September 19, brief the project at the September 24 council agenda session and request approval to award at the Oct 1 , 2002 City Council meeting. This schedule should allow the contractor to get the foundation in the ground and be ready for steel by the end of November in time for the building to arrive. It Typically takes between 6 and 8 weeks for the building to be constructed and delivered. • The Corporate Ramp and Taxiway project will be ready to bid by August 20. We received a grant for $ 166,600 from the State for this project, in February. Total project cost is $205,670.00. The schedule is to receive the bids September 6, brief the Council on September 10 and request approval to award at the September 17 City Council meeting. This will allow a contractor to get the project completed by the middle of October. The design has been refined since February and may require us to go to the State for additional funding to complete the project. We had the first after action meeting with the Museum folks on the Airfest 2002. We started talking about the next years event. City Council approved the rehab project award to Marinoni Construction Company. Work should begin NLT August 19'h. We have received two proposals to move the awning outside the conference room to make it parallel with the airside of the building. They are way apart. ($3500 and $ 10700). We are trying to find another bidder. We held initial meetings with the architect on the McClelland team. Richard Alderman from Wittenberg, Delony & Davidson will give us a proposal to design a reuse for the terminal building that more suits a general aviation facility. • We interviewed four people for the two jobs open with the airport. Greg Robinson from the City meter shop was hired for the maintenance job. Jim Hull was hired for the Line Service r - f • Technician position. We continue to meet with the organizers of the Bikes, Blues and Bar-B-Que event on hosting the B. B. King concert at the Airport, October 4, 2002. They report that 2000 VIP tickets will be sold and thus they will need parking for about 1200 cars near the stage. In July, we began a series of meetings with the Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee to develop a new five year economic development plan. Showed two separate companies parcels for sale in the industrial park. One was looking in Springdale and will probably stay in Fayetteville. All T Hangars are rented. The last one was rented to Mrs. Younkin. We have a good quote for new employee shirts. Polo shirts with collar. We will be "in uniform" by the first ball game September 7, 2002. Respectfully Submitted, C • Ray M. Boudreaux Director • FAYETTEVILLE THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS DAN COODY, MAYOR MEMORANDUM TO : Airport Board Members FROM : Ray M. Boudreaux DATE: August 1 , 2002 SUBJECT: Flight Line Operations Supervisor Background: We will be asking the City Council for authority to add a position to the staff of the FBO. The FBO is currently manned by two people. The maintenance staff is manned with three people. The new FBO person will be the Flight Line Operations Supervisor and will be responsible for • running the Fixed Base Operation. Justification: Currently the FBO is operated 7 days a week, 6 til 9 weekdays and 6 til 6 on the weekends. This schedule requires one of the maintenance staff to work two days a week and 1 hour every other week day in operations. This accounts for 19 hours every week of the 99 hours weekly that we are open. For the first time since opening the FBO, one of the staff is on vacation this week. The maintenance staff is taking up the slack but significant maintenance requirements are not getting done. Our overtime is averaging 45 hours each month. The overtime is used for call backs to take care of aircraft landing or departing at times other than normal hours, to cover for those out sick or on vacation, and for special scheduled times of increased activity. At time and one half this equals 67.5 hours a month. Over a month it costs the operation 143.5 hours out of 160 hours if one person was doing the job. Since this includes call backs, it is not as bad as it appears but last month we recorded only three (3) call backs which represents 9 total hours. A call back is two hours overtime. Aviation and Economic Development Department 4500 South School, Suite F Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 • (479) 718-7642 Ray M. Boudreaux, Director rboudreaux@ci.fayetteville.ar.us L • This new position will be responsible for data entry into the City of Fayetteville's accounting system and other administrative tasks. Currently James estimates that he spends 4 hours a week doing data entry that the new person will do. At the end of the month, he estimates that he does 10 hours of work associated with reconciling the sales and inventory and recording the billing information for the based aircraft. Louise spends 8 hours per month issuing the billing statements. All together, that's 34 hours a month would be assigned to the new supervisor. James will continue oversight but will be freed from many hours of data entry tasks, allowing his greater attention to other airport financial and grant administration responsibilities. We currently have only one person on duty at a time. When a bulk fuel delivery arrives, the line is uncovered. We meet the driver and stay with the truck during each delivery. This week we received two fuel load. James fueled aircrafl on the ramp and across the field while the tanker was being unloaded. Yesterday, James was on the line fueling while the Line Service Tech was on the east side taking care of our tenants. Grant management, FAA reporting, State reporting, and reports to the City require significant time and study and of late have been late due to the necessity of the day to day workload. James has done an exceptional job with the FBO and getting us started but it is now time to flesh out our customer service arm. We rely on our staff to be our first impression and to be responsive to our customers. We need a supervisor that can do the administration, work the line, and more closely supervise • the other workers to insure compliance with directives. He will perform, and instruct his subordinates, in the recordkeeping and data entry into the accounting system, and to create schedules. The plan is to have some overlap Monday through Friday so that deliveries can be arranged during the overlap. The new supervisor will cover for vacations. We will only use overtime staff for special occasions like the football weekends. Action: Support the Airport staff request for a new position of Flight Line Operations Supervisor at a pay grade equivalent to the Maintenance Crew Leader position. The Flight Line Operations Supervisor will report to the Airport Director. Aviation and Economic Development Department 4500 South School, Suite F Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 • (479) 718-7642 Ray M.

The July sales level is approximately 79% of the FBO's monthly average volume of 23,249. The low figures are likely related to the several days of runway and taxiway closures caused by the airfield construction work.

BOUDREAUX, DIRECTOR TO: Fayetteville City Council THRU: Staff Review Committee FROM: Ray M. Boudreaux, Director DATE: July 26, 2002 SUBJECT: Grant Review — AIP 30, Taxiway "A" Extension Design & Engineering Background: The Airport Improvement Program (AIP) provides federal grant funding for Airport Improvements through DOT/FAA. The FAA will provide 95% funding for authorized projects. The grant application is for design and engineering services for the extension of Taxiway "A" on the east side of the Runway. This project is in conjunction with the planned USDA Forest Service firefighting base. The USDA facility portion of the aircraft parking ramp and ai��cwc,s� sway design is underway by that agency, and will necessarily be coordinatednthe'�rport portion of the project. Funds for construction of the project are not available from the FAA at this time due to funding constraints resulting from 9/11 /01 air security priorities. Future funding of the project is dependent on FAA approval of discretionary funding in the 2003 fiscal year. The total project cost is $116,730. 95% of the cost of the project will be reimbursed to the City through this grant. An additional 5%D of the project cost is available through the Arkansas Department of Aeronautics. The remaining 5% will be paid with Airport funds.

Now is the time to make plans to attend the annual AAOA conference which , this year, will be held at the Radisson Hotel in downtown Fayetteville on September 15`" through the 17`". The conference will be very special this year and we hope you can attend . We are joining with the Arkansas Department of Aeronautics to present a two-day educational seminar entitled , "How To Assure The Future Of Your Airport. " The presenter is William H . Green of the NASAO Center for Aviation Research & Education. The seminar was developed specifically for elected and appointed officials whose responsibilities include the administration of local airports. The • seminar should prove to be extremely valuable as you strive to make your airport an even more important part of your community than it is today. As you can see from the enclosed agenda , this will be a busy two days . However, we still have included time for the State Department of Aeronautics to hold their monthly meeting with us and for a FAA roundtable discussion and an update on what's happening in Washington with David Olive . We hope to set a record for number of participants and exhibitors this year. All indications are that this year's conference will be the best ever. If you are not yet a member of the AAOA, please join today. The cost is very reasonable and the benefits can be tremendous. We are looking forward to seeing you in September!
