ITEM #5: Receiving of Reports
A. Chairman Charles Wallace. Said he enjoyed Airfest and also thanked Judy
Hammond, Air Museum Board, the Airport Staff, and the Airport Board. It was a good
effort presented to the community.
B. Ray Boudreaux, Director. Explained each quarter he prepares the Quarterly Report
for the City Council and that is included in your packet. The U. of A. Hangar may be
finished by the end of July. When the U. of A. moves out of their old hangar we have
another company ready to move in. In June we had Airfest, then, we had the July 4`h
celebration here. The self-serve facility is a big success. Said he had been working with
W. Jones and H. Brewer on the electrical upgrade of the older T-Hangars. Some
revisions are to be made on the plans, have a final review, and then advertise for bids. A
decision to do one hangar or do all the older hangars is needed. The FAA Airport
Certification Inspector was here yesterday and we had an out-briefing this morning. Last
night while he was checking the airfield lights the beacon didn't come on. Leon and staff
have already fixed it this morning. We had the airport in good shape for the inspection.
Next year the FAA won't have the Part 139 Limited Specifications, which we have been
operating under since the airlines left. The FAA is revising Part 139. We will have to
tum in our License and get a new License. It will take a lot of work, and a new manual.
1
J ,
. FAA Part 139 covers scheduled airplanes, and in our case, it includes some of the larger
ballgame charters. It also covers regulations on the level of security, airfield
maintenance, maintaining the airfield lighting, lighting of the final approach, clear zones,
and building zones. We meet the requirements at this time and we'll have to decide if we
want to continue to meet the new Part 139 guidelines in the future.
R. Boudreaux said he had requested bids on getting the cement work repaired at T-
Hangar G, and was still waiting for one other bid. R. McKinney, tenant, questioned why
R. Boudreaux was getting bids for the cement work, saying it was an installation
problem, it was Marinoni's problem and he should pay for the repair. R. McKinney
suggested bringing John Marinoni in front of the Board to confront him. R. Boudreaux
suggested leaving the problem to management, saying that after we receive all quotes,
then he would talk to Marinoni and give him the opportunity to pay for the cement repair.
C. Wallace cautioned that he didn't want to put the City in liable, that we could ask the
contractor to talk to us, but we can not go further than that.
B. Boudreaux said he had talked to the Postal Service and it looks like they will move
here, but the lease has not been signed by the Post Office.
C. James Nicholson, Financial Report. He went over the charts in the agenda on the
aircraft operations and fuel sales. R. Boudreaux said the tower has reported the last four
months' operations had topped XNA's operations. J. Nicholson said during the first
• quarter we passed the number of operations we had when we had airline service. Our
fuel sales show a small increase over the amount sold same time last year. We have not
hit our peak sales period which is in the fall. C. Wallace said our goal is 50,000 gallons.
The self-serve fueling facility is still selling a lot of fuel. F. Sperandeo stated he would
like the MARS program to continue, and would like to ask management to consider
getting more competitive on fuel prices, to get the price down and not just close, and to
concentrate on an ad campaign. F. Sperandeo reported a lot of pilots are going back to
Siloam Springs. C. Wallace said the Board could discuss the fuel price at the Strategic
Planning Meeting. J. Nicholson reviewed the Projected Year End totals in the Financial
Report. Fuel prices did go down in June and that changed the projections. Flood damage
to our fences was $ 18,432 and $ 18,000 assistance has been requested from FEMA. The
fuel pricing policy was discussed and it was decided to discuss it further at the Strategic
Planning Meeting. F. Sperandeo said he wanted to break even at the end of the year, and
B. Nickle said to do that we could raise the fuel prices and raise the rent. R. Boudreaux
said we are doing everything we can to keep the expenses down. We are moving in the
right direction, but are we doing enough?
D. Louise Powers, T-Hangar Report. Stated all the T-Hangar units are rented. There
are 15 names on the waiting lists that are not duplicate names. In the FBO Hangar there
were 5 regular monthly tenants and there were 16 that used the FBO Hangar for
overnights.
F. Maintenance Report. Chairman Wallace asked to move the Maintenance Report
• ahead of the Construction Report. R. Boudreaux said the maintenance guys spent a lot of
time getting the airport ready for the Air Show, and then working on the grounds and
2
• getting the electric ready for the 4`" of July fireworks. Also three weeks ago we were
notified by the FAA that our Certification Inspector would meet with us on July 7a' and
8a', yesterday and today. The water/flood damage was amazing at the south end. The
time the back gate stays open has been reduced. Construction work on T-Hangar roof has
begun and every time it rains we get washers on the ramp. Said he had talked with the
contractor about the problem. C. Wallace said there was a substantial reduction in the
leaks in the hangar. R. McKinney asked if roof repairs will be done on T-Hangar B,
because it has leaks. R. Boudreaux said if there is money available in the budget it would
be done. C. Wallace asked that be discussed at the Strategic Planning Meeting. J.
Nicholson reported that a roofer had been here and worked on Superior's roof and AMP'S
roof. R. Boudreaux said we wanted to continue to put enough money in the budget to
keep the maintenance going. Referencing the Certification Inspection, he noted the
FAA' s standards and requirements for the airport are pretty high. It includes mowing of
certain areas, runway and taxiway lighting systems, and safety items. The Board and
audience discussed the porous cement drain. W. Jones, when asked, said he didn't
believe Marinoni Construction would pay for the cement replacement, and wasn't sure
Mr. Marinoni would come before the Board. He explained the warranty time limit had
expired. F. Sperandeo said he would rather have a "back room" solving, rather than on
TV. R. Boudreaux reminded the Board he had the repair process under way and would
present the cost of the repair to Mr. Marinoni to see if he would pay. R. Boudreaux said
he thought it had been important to move ahead with the repairs. He said he had started
the repair process when he recently found that part of the drain was not working. R.
. McKinney complained the City had not received the work for which it had paid.
Directing his comments to Mr. Boudreaux, R. McKinney strongly voiced his differences
of opinions.
E. Construction Report. W. Jones said the Taxiway H is 25% complete. The rainy
weather had slowed it down some, saying the contractor would pump water out and then
it would rain again. The corporate hangar is about 80% complete. They are getting ready
to paint the inside walls. The heater system is in and the water meter will be set next
week. Discussion followed on the electrical system update for T-Hangars A-D, whether
to do one, or bid all, the purchasing requirements to be met, money in the budget, time
frame, and the possibility of getting a State Grant for that type of work. R. Boudreaux
explained they had to carefully manage the requests to the State Aeronautics; we want to
get the maximum we can from our requests. They don't grant every request and will only
grant so many in a year. Their money for grants is down because aviation fuel sales are
down in the state.
ITEM #7: Old Business.
A. T-hangar "H". R. Boudreaux said the first set of bids received were 125% over the
engineer's estimate and the City was not allowed to negotiate the price down, you have to
re-bid. We reworked the specs, reducing some costs, and put it out again with a higher
estimate. C. Wallace said there were two things to consider, whether it was within the
scope of what we want to pay and is this where we want to spend the money? Budgeting
• discussion followed. W. Jones said McClelland Engineers recommended accepting the
bid by Architectural Contractors, Inc. He commented that as they are already working on
3
the field, they could probably give a lower bid. F. Sperandeo said he had requested in
January they use metal halide lights in the hangar units and the plans show three 150 watt
fixtures in each unit. He insisted the one metal halide light would give off more light
and would light the whole hangar better than three 150 watt lights spread about in the
hangar. W. Jones said they had tried to keep the costs down in the plans. R. Boudreaux
recommended awarding the bid, which is within the budget, and then speak with the
contractor about the metal halide lights. B. Nickle asked that next time the agenda
provide information about the contract, name and amount.
Dave Bowman made a motion to recommend the City Council award
the contract to build the T-Hangar to Architectural Contractors, Inc.
for $314,135.00. Frank Sperandeo seconded the motion. The motion
carried.
Frank Sperandeo made a motion to request a Change Order to
replace the lights in the new hangar with a single metal halide light in
each hangar unit. Janice Stanesic seconded the motion.
During the comment period B. Nickle said that if the Board approved the change of
lighting, he didn't want to hear complaints from the tenants.
The motion carried.
• B. Taxiway "E". R. Boudreaux said we received approval to get bids. The project will
be funded by a 95% grant from the FAA and a 5% grant from the State Aeronautics. The
contract with APAC McClinton-Anchor is for $607,078.90 with a 10% contingency of
$60,708.00. W. Jones answering the Board's questions, briefly explained how the
engineers determine the strength or load bearing capacity for the taxiway.
Bob Nickle made a motion to recommend the City Council award the
contract for Taxiway E to APAC McClinton-Anchor for $607,078.90
with 10% contingency. The motion was seconded by Dave Bowman.
W. Jones said two bids had been received and McClelland Engineers recommended
accepting McClinton-Anchor's. Their bid is within the limits of the appropriations the
FAA has given the airport along with the State grant. Answering F. Sperandeo, yes
painting in the project means striping the taxiway.
The motion carried.
ITEM #8: New Business.
A. Lease for ARAB Pest Control to lease 4140 S. School Avenue. R. Boudreaux
explained they would pay rent of $500 per month plus provide pest and rodent control on
the terminal building and other building on the field, which has value to the airport of
• $200 per month. The lease does contain an item on hazardous materials. They will
provide for their own utilities, maintenance, and liability insurance. They have six
4
i ,
• employees. C. Cleek stated they wouldn't be storing any trucks at the building except on
very cold winter days. The employees take their trucks home each night.
Bob Nickle made a motion to recommend the lease to the City Council
for approval and David Hollman seconded the motion. The motion
carried.
B. Lease Agreement for Hertz to rent parking spaces north of the terminal
building. R. Boudreaux explained they would pay us $200 per month for 20 parking
spaces at $ 10 per space. They don't anticipate using all 20 spaces every month. They
will use the third row in the terminal parking lot. D. Bowman questioned that all the
lights in the lot were working. R. Boudreaux said they were working on that.
David Hollman made a motion to approve the Lease with Hertz, and
Dave Bowman seconded the motion. The motion carried.
ITEM #9: Other Business.
A. Items from the Public. C. Wallace said we have a request from Rick McKinney for
an item to be placed on the August agenda. Mr. McKinney had to leave early and asked
that increased security for the east side ramp, including several cameras, be placed on the
agenda.
B. Items from the Airport Board. C. Wallace, answering Mr. Sperandeo, said the
Maintenance List will be discussed at the next meeting. B. Nickle asked that data be
available on the cameras at the next meeting and for it to not drag on for several
meetings. Dave Bowman told of the upcoming Aviation Camp at the Air Museum for
children ages 8 through 12. The EAA will be here to help take the children on rides one
day of the camp. J. Hammond gave the camp dates as July 12- 18u'.
Meeting Adjourned at 3:24 p.m.

MONTHLY REPORT

July 2004
AVIATION:
The USDA Forest Service project to construct the Taxiway"A" Extension and USDA Forest Service
Apron Area Project is progressing very well. APAC will start laying the concrete this week. It will
take about two weeks to install the 11 " concrete slabs using a paving machine. The Forest Service
has received two proposals for the design build portion of the project to construct their mixing plant,
office building, warehouse and parking lot. The project award was delayed at the request ofpotential
bidders.
The construction contract for the extension of Taxiway "A" and the construction of Taxiway "E" to
connect Taxiway "A" to the was awarded to APAC of Arkansas, McClinton Anchor, the contractor
currently working on the initial phase. The FAA notice to proceed and grant has been received. We
will apply to the State for the 5% match at the September meeting of the Department of Aeronautics
. meeting.
Initial punch list has been provided to the contractor for the new U of A hangar. Architectural
Constructors Inc. expects to have the building ready to occupy by the end of August.
Construction of T Hangar H was awarded to Architectural Constructors, Inc in the amount of
$314, 135 plus a 5% contingency. A notice to proceed has been issued. The contractor is having
difficulty getting the building delivered on schedule but plans to start on the foundations and
pavement in the very near future.
The fourth of July fireworks were held at Fayetteville Drake Field for the first time. The event was
.put together with about three weeks notice. The only real problem was parking for folks that arrived
late. All the folks inside the airport had a great time and expressed appreciation for the event. The
ground was wet so many of the parking areas were not usable. We may be asked to do it again next
year. If so, we will ask for volunteers from the board to work on a special committee to organize the
1005 event. There has been some talk about doing the display at the fairgrounds but initial
investigation reveals that the area maybe too congested with wooden structures.
Our annual FAA airport certification inspection was conducted in July. There were no major
discrepancies. There were two paint complaints: one that the taxiway edge stripes be outlined in
black and the other that the taxiway strip be spaced three feet edge to edge as it joins the runway
centerline not three feet center to center. The taxiway edge strip outlining is scheduled. We will fix
the taxiway strip on the runway at the next painting. We completed the new Airport Certification
Specifications and they were approved by our FAA inspector. They are provided for your use and
information as necessary.

The fence damaged by the flood is nearing completion. The ground in the area was very wet and had
to dry out significantly before work could commence.
We awarded a contract to repair the permeable concrete on the east side of T Hangar G.
Architectural Constructors will do the work in conjunction with the work on T Hangar H foundation
and grade work.
The airport board held strategic planning with good discussion and new ideas presented for future
planning.
Final paperwork was received from the USPS on the new post office. Contractors will start work
September 1 , 2004 on their space.
James attended a training session in Hot Springs on detecting financial fraud in accounting.
I will attend the Arkansas Economic Developers conference in Hot Springs in August.
Economic Development:
We hired an economic developer to fill our new position with the FEDC. Steven Rust will be on the
job mid August. He comes to the City from Sumter, South Carolina where he was the Executive
Director of their ED organization. Interim office space is on the Square at the executive office
building on the southeast comer. He is a retired USAF Colonel so he is a great guy!
We made several FEDC fund raising visits. in July. The organization is funded for three years.
We held meetings on the railroad spur to the Fayetteville Industrial Park. The Arkansas and
Missouri Railroad management have received agreements for users to pay $ 100.00 per train car to
use the spur. The money would be used to retire the cost to build the spur. We met with the State
ADED to solicit financial assistance.

Dear Mr. Boudreaux,
As President of Friends of the Library here in Winslow, I have been asked to write this request
regarding a car show we are planning as a way of raising funds for our small library. This fund
raiser is scheduled for October 9.
We would like to use the Drake Field facility for this endeavor, as space is too limited in our town
for such an event. I understand that the city of Fayetteville must charge for such use, and have
been authorized by our board to offer $100.00 rent for the one-day event.
Please let us know if this offer is agreeable, or if there is a minimum amount you would be willing
to accept, so we may continue planning the event. Thank you so much for any consideration you
can give us.
Sincerely yours,
Velda Brotherton, President
Friends of the Agnes Stockburger Library
Winslow, Arkansas

Letters to the editor
Furious and confused
I do not know how anybody in their
right minds could call the Freedom Fire-
works 2004 show a success! This wps the
worst show that myself or. my family had
everseen.
We knew we had to leave early to get a
good parking spot and viewing area We
arrived at Drake Field at 7:15 only to real-
ize that neither the media nor the people
organizing this event had adequately
advertised that one could actually park at
the terminal for a fee, and then have
access to the tarmac. So, we were relegat-
ed to park on the access road to the north
of the airport at the end of the road,
• which, as it turned out, was a rather
decent place to park. After waiting for
over an hour and a half — believing the
entire time that the fireworks would start
at 9:00 p.m., as this is what was advertised
— we learned that they would not start
until 9:30. Finally, the show began after a
rather lame build-up by Magic 107.9 and
fellow media outlets. My family finally.
had something to be excited about Exact-
ly 13 minutes later, it was over± What a
serious let down.
Now that the show was over, we sat for
the next 1:45 just trying to move 2 feet
After waiting for so long I decided to ask
some of my fellow sufferers how they felt
about the show. The responses I got
ranged from furious to confused. Some
said theywill no longer be going back and
some said they were infuriated that they
wasted not only their time, but precious
fuel to get there. I wholeheartedly agree. I
am a disabled veteran. The Fourth of July
is about celebrating our independence
and those that gave the ultimate price for
. us to have the right to celebrate it This
show was not only a disgrace, but an
embarrassment to anybody who ever
served in uniform.
