Stated he was making inquires to see if Frank Burggraf can serve another term, and an exception could be made as he now lives outside the city limits. Applications are available in the Airport Office. B. Ray Boudreaux, Director. Briefly summarized his report in the agenda packet. The first meeting was held for planning Airfest 2003. Stated he had met with the Ozark Military Museum people several times and had several construction meetings. Explained he had attended, the State Aeronautics Commission Meeting in Little Rock the day before, and had received approval of the Grant Amendments. The Groundbreaking Ceremony was held for the corporate ramp project. Flying Investments is pouring concrete for their hangar. He expressed his appreciation for all who had helped with the Hospitality Table and had helped at the airport during the Razorback ballgame day. C. James Nicholson, Financial Coordinator. Operations are up for the last two months as compared to the same months a year ago. Fuel sales are 62% higher that last year, he contributed the increase to ballgame traffic, operations are higher than last year, and good weather. We also had easy access to the ballgame with a shuttle service. • D. Construction Report. W. Jones said they were working on the entry road to the terminal and discussed other work taking place as part of the project, new drainage, and a 1 .. I • possible pump station. He is still waiting to finalize the pavement maintenance project, reseeding and gravel removal is needed. They should start the taxiway to the Forest Service area in the spring, he is still working with them regarding the funding of their project. R Boudreaux spoke briefly on the re-skin project for two hangars, they plan have the project completed by the end of the month. E. Maintenance Report. R. Boudreaux reported they had hired someone to lay new the in the eastside restrooms. We are working on getting new carpet in the FBO area, remodeling the pilots lounge, and getting new furniture for that area. • ITEM #4: Old Business. A. Airport budget, final draft. C. Wallace said he had worked closely with Ray and James on the budget. It went to the Strategic Planning Meeting and everyone had some input to the format of this report to the Board. The report was reviewed and discussed. It was suggested the report should show we don't have any debt service, and other suggestions were to clarify the labeling of Sub-Totals and Totals. The report can be produced every month for the Board. A motion to recommend the Airport's budget to the City Council was made by Frank Burggraf and seconded by Frank Sperandeo. In discussion of the motion, R. Boudreaux explained he will have the opportunity to defend the submitted budget two or three more times to the City before it goes to the • Council. The motion carried. B. Consideration of proposal from Bill Corley. R. Boudreaux explained the proposal is to analyze in depth the results of the Airport Survey for a fee $475 .00. A motion to approve the proposal was made by Rick McKinney and seconded by Dave Bowman. The motion carried. ITEM #5: New Business. A. Rent Increase Policy. B. T-Hangar Rent Increase. It was explained that Items "A" and `B" are tied together and both could be discussed together. "A" would establish a policy to increase the T-Hangar rentals with each new lease or renewal starting in year 2003. The decision to increase would be made every year in November. Current rentals were set to fill up the hangars and they are comparable to charges at other local airports. This would be the first rental increase since 1988 and during that time we have had continuous hangar repairs, roof repairs and the drainage project for the hangars. It was suggested to establish a rate for the new corporate hangars, but this pertains just to T-Hangars. . A vote was requested on Items "A" and `B". • A motion to approve the Rent Increase Policy and the T-Hangar Rent Increase was made by F. Burggraf and seconded by M. Andrews. The motion carried. 2 • C. Airport Fuel Pricing Policy. C. Wallace explained the Airport Board some time ago decided to freeze the fuel pricing to test the low fuel price and the growth of the airport before making any moderate increase in the fuel price. The cost of fuel to the airport has increased many times since the Board action. At the last Strategic Planning Meeting the Board agreed we should increase the retail price of our fuel by $.05 for Avgas and $.20 for Jet to go into effect January 1 , 2003. The Board agreed a fuel pricing policy be established and reviewed the proposed policy shown in the agenda. Staff would analyze the fuel cost monthly. There are some discounts on fuel given. Those that buy contract fuel deal directly with AvFuel Company, and there are individual companies that are large consumers of fuel and have negotiated a price. T-Hangar tenants get the cash price. C. Wallace said they could do this in two pieces, a motion to proceed. as of the first of January with an increase, and take the formula for fuel pricing and study it more. F. Burggraf said if we had a Fixed Base Operator they would set their own price, .that the Board should not get in the business to decide every month, should give the decision to the Airport Manager. R. Boudreaux expressed his thanks, but said we need to make the decision together, if there is a complaint then we all share. We do need to make money on the fuel, that is one way to increase the Airport's revenues. A motion to approve the first paragraph, which is to increase the retail price for AvGas by $.05 to $2.30, and increase Jet by $.20 to $2.20 as of January 1 " was made by F. Burggraf and seconded by'D. Bowman. The motion carried. • C. Wallace said the Board needs to make a conscious effort to work with staff to get a formula nailed down and for the Board to get out of day-to-day fuel pricing. D. Consideration of a proposal from Marty London. The Airport has received a proposal to rent the car rental wash facility. Our plans were to do something else at that location, and could consider a proposal only on a temporary basis. He has offered three times what we were receiving and we could rent on a month-to-month basis. We will not put anything into the renovation the building and he has agreed to fix up the facility. He does work on cars. It was suggested he could -help with the Military Museum vehicles restoration. J. Hammond said he does preservation on old vehicles and is not associated with any organization. It was questioned whether the Airport wanted to allow a non- aviation use. M. Andrews said he didn't think it was the image the Airport wanted. BOARD. CONSENSUS: To wait -and gather more information and look at the proposal at the next Board Meeting. ITEM #6: Other Business. A. Items from the Board. There were no items. B. Items from the Public. K. Schossow asked if the FBO is set up and ready for de- icing? Staff said glycol has been ordered and they have a man-lift to use on the larger planes. G. McCoy reported the Federal Aviation had met that day and approved federal • aid to the A & P School. C. Wallace commented the Airport had been receiving nice articles from the press. R. Boudreaux passed out to the Board members a "Beginner's . 3 • Guide to Airport Administration" book. The books were made available at the AAOA Conference. There were no other items and the meeting adjourned at 3 :30. Frank Burggraf, Secretary Date • 4 1 FAYETTEVILLE AIRPORT ADMINISTRATION OFFICE THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE. ARKANSAS MONTHLY REPORT Director, Aviation and Economic Development Fayetteville, Arkansas November 2002 November was filled with construction meetings and progress on all the projects currently underway. The re-skin project has had a few bumps in the road but by the time of the Board Meeting should be substantially complete. We discovered that the siding was different in color from piece to piece and unnoticeable unless placed right next to another. The supplier has decided to replace two walls so the new siding has been ordered and will be re-installed when it arrives. We will not delay. the project waiting on new material. It should still be finished by the end of the year. Both the ramp project and the FBO hangar project are well underway. Only minor changes in the projects have been approved so far with very little resultant cost. The only change in the building is to eliminate the in-floor drains and level the floor and to install underground drains for the roof down spouts. The ramp project water line will be replaced due to the deteriorated condition of the pipe. The design calls for a "f" to be installed for supply to each side of the ramp. The sewer is being redesigned to eliminate the pump station. The City engineers asked if it could be done so the engineers investigated. Any additional cost will be borne by the City of Fayetteville, and not the Airaport, for both changes. Troy Bates attended Flight Line Supervisor training November 7°i and 8'h in Tulsa and is now certified to train our other people. I represented Mayor Coody at the Arkansas Venture Forum, at the naming ceremony of the US Post Office for Clarence Craft, and at a recognition ceremony at the University Baptist Church for Public Safety Employees of the City of Fayetteville. Wayne Jones and I presented our changes and a new Grant Application to the Arkansas State Aeronautics Commission meeting in Little Rock. We received unanimous approval. The grant totals have reduced the City investment to approximately 50% of the total project cost. ` The last home football game of the season was sparsely attended. We had many more aircraft than normal on the ramp but nothing like the games opposing big name • opponents. 4500 SOUTH SCHOOL AVENUE, SUITE F • AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING • FAYETTEVILLE, AR 72701 PHONE 501 -718.7640 Exc. 5 • FAX 501 -718-7646 1 The Ozark Military Museum held a ground breaking for their new hangar. Carol Jones of McClelland Engineering completed our Storm Water Study for our permit (NPDES Permit). She' also completed a Phase I Environmental Review for the City's South Industrial Park. We ordered and received spill kits as required by our Storm Water /Spill Prevention Plan. I met with the owner/operator of Clear Channel Radio about the potential of doing a concert in the same area where B. B. King performed. I asked that he make a proposal for presentation to the Airport Board. The Chamber of Commerce held a Manufactures' Appreciation event in the Airport Terminal. More than 100 people attended to see what the firms make in Fayetteville. It was very impressive with the Mayor presenting a Proclamation. We closed the sale of 7 acres in the South Industrial Park to Superior Industries. They will expand by more than 150 employees in Fayetteville. Thanksgiving was a great holiday. We hope all enjoyed the days off. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. Respectfully Submitted, Ray M.
