ITEM #1 : Welcome.
Chairman Wallace welcomed those watching on the TV broadcast and expressed
appreciation for those in attendance. He expressed amazement at the number of people
that listen to the broadcast.
• ITEM #2: Agenda Review,
A. Review by the Chairman. Commented the agenda was long and listed the agenda
items.
B. Comments from the Public. There were none.
ITEMS #3 and #4: Minutes of the August 12, 2004 meeting and Minutes of the
September 9, 2004 meeting.
Otto Loewer moved to accept both sets of minutes. Dave Bowman
gave second to the motion.
Chairman Wallace mentioned he had asked two items to be included with the September
minutes, the formula for fuel pricing and the hangar rent analysis. L. Powers said they
had been attached to the minutes.
The motion carried.
ITEM #5: Receiving of Reports.
A. Charles Wallace, Chairman. Stated he is working on a paper regarding the care and
management of public institutions, and had heard from mayors and others expressing
their appreciation of volunteers. He said he hoped the Airport Board feels appreciated.
Stated he was hearing more and more of the changing role of Boards. Broad members
are stake holders and they have accountability. Volunteers are a way to build ownership
and a loyal constituency.
Chairman Wallace spoke of the Board's work in the Airport Board's Strategic Planning
Meetings. He told that the revenue for the Airport had increased from $506,000 in year
1
2000 to $ 1 ,000,000 for the year 2003. Our number of based aircraft has increased from
52 to 93 in 2004. He explained that the travelers that come through this Airport come for
various reasons and estimated 2,000 are for business, 1 ,600 for sports and 400 for other
events. This also relates to an estimated 2,000 hotel/motel rooms and an average of 50
cars are rented every month. The Airport enhances the local economy. The Airport had
grown to where we may need to move on to the next plateau. We may need to look at
out-sourcing the FBO (Fixed Base Operator), the service that provides fuel service,
hangars, and things that keep airports in business. We need to do a careful assessment.
A company wants to come and talk to us about their services. The Airport will not look
at just one provider, it would go out as a Request for Proposals. No decision has been
made.
B. Ray Boudreaux, Director. Stated his report in the agenda was in the form of the
City's Quarterly Report, and he reviewed the report items. Phase II of the construction
for the Forest Service project will require the closing of the runway for two days. The
USPS held a pre-construction conference here this morning and the demolition will begin
soon. The Contractor will have 100 days. The U. of A. has received Beneficial
Occupancy for their hangar. He thanked those that had volunteered during the ballgame
weekends, Charles Wallace, Frank Sperandeo, people from the Military Museum and
some from the Aviation Tech Training facility. He announced a new employee, Chad
Wilson, had been hired for the FBO. Chad comes highly qualified; he is a graduate of
NWATC, and is an A & P mechanic. Director Boudreaux explained some work had
been coordinated with the Planning Commission so the Building Permit could be issued
• for T-Hangar "H". On the Large Scale Development Plan we were able to transfer the
proposed fire training tower off the plan for the new T-Hangar. Referring to his
Economic Development Report, said he had meetings with bonding agents regarding the
proposed railroad north of the Airport which would have access to the airport.
R. McKinney referencing a comment R. Boudreaux made at the first of his report, that
the airport would be closed for two days due to the Phase 1I construction work/Forest
Service project, McKinney asked if the runway threshold could be displaced during the
airfield construction. R. Boudreaux said they would look at that possibility, there are
several things to consider, equipment on the runway and height considerations. The
closing is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, our slowest days, so they could get the
work done with no interruptions. The Airport will be NOTAMed out, but the tower will
be open. P. Ross asked if the could be done at night and close the runway at night? C.
Wallace said they would discuss the closing in Wayne Jones' Construction Report.
Director Boudreaux said his trip report from the AAOA Conference (Arkansas Airport
Operator's Association) is included with his report in the agenda.
C. Rick McKinney, President, Arkansas Air Museum. C. Wallace stated Rick
McKinney has been working on the accreditation of the Air Museum. R. McKinney
explained he had missed the last Airport Board Meeting as the conservators had been at
the museum that day. Their report was twenty-six pages. He said the Museum was a
credit to the City and they were excited to look at the building. They were pleased with
the building considering the age, but they did object to the vinyl siding and said the wood
siding would have to be restored, and he said there are some cracks in the foundation. R.
McKinney said he hoped the museum could find some funding. He also said the City and
2
• the Airport have been good benefactors. He told of presenting a request for funding from
the City at the last City Council Meeting, which would keep the funding request out of
the Airport's fund.
Chairman Wallace, speaking on behalf of the Board, expressed pride that the Arkansas
Air Museum was nearing accreditation.
Added Report: Chairman Wallace announced Otto Loewer had an idea he would like to
present to the Board with the possibility of having University architectural students
working with the airport. O. Loewer explained about a program/class at the University,
"Students Engaged in Economic Development" that could be of interest to the Airport.
As a class project they would look at the terminal building, take a look at what could
come out of it, would have meetings with the class, talk to the class in their classroom,
they would design the possibilities, and then have a public presentation. As it would be a
class project they would not be restricted to reality. Two professors will come out in
November and take a look at the building to see if there is a possibility of a project for
next semester. There would be some cost involved with the displaying of their work for
public presentation. It would also help the students feel a part of the community to be
involved in this kind of project. Director Boudreaux stated it was a good idea, especially
as one of our goals is to partner with educational institutions.
D. James Nicholson, Financial Report. J. Nicholson first reviewed the FBO Report
and its related charts from the agenda packet. In September we sold 10,000 gallons more
. than our average month. In comparison, we are 7. 1 % ahead of the sales volume for 2003.
October of last year was a record month, but expected the end of October this year to be
about the same as the previous months have been. He noted there had been a big jump in
the price of JetA over last month. There have been no downward trends in the last month
and a half. He called attention to the chart showing the September fuel sales broken out.
He noted the 35,000 gallons of JetA sales. AvGas sales remain about the same. We sold
more JetA fuel this last month to transient customers because of the University ballgames
in Fayetteville.
Next, J. Nicholson reviewed the Financial Report from the agenda packet. He said he had
good news and bad news. The good news is there has been a reduction in the expense
side of the 2005 Draft Budget by $93,000.00. This is the amount of reduction we won't
have to pay for the tower. There were a couple of adjustments to the projected year end
amount due to the cost of fuel and the price of the fuel we sell. The wholesale cost of jet
fuel has increased 24 %z cents. While we are trying to match the marketplace and remain
competitive, we have only raised the price an average of 11 % cents. That is a 13 '/3 cent
spread we don't collect on.
Chairman Wallace commended staff for doing what the Board had asked, saying that
meant that if need be, to make the price reduction to fuel to keep planes coming in here.
Director Boudreaux stated we may not be able to keep the price down that much in the
• future because it is hurting us. As the price of fuel goes up, we are keeping the price
down and that is what we use to put towards our budget. Chairman Wallace questioned
the previous year end projection amount. Director Boudreaux said it was $265,885.00
and now it is projected at $278,000.00, a difference of about $ 12,000.00.
3
• J. Nicholson stated we had sold about 4,500 to 5,000 gallons of self-serve AVGas. We
have held the price at $2.38 and we haven't increased the price. That cuts the margin
down a lot.
J. Nicholson, speaking of the Capital projects, said the figures in the Draft 2005 column
may not be correct. Some projects are proposed and we don't know if we are going to do
those projects, and what grants would be available for those projects.
Director Boudreaux said the projected year end figure is very close to one million dollars.
J. Nicholson, referring to the last page of the report, said it shows the list of grants and
the money coming in from the different agencies.
J. Nicholson, answering R. McKinney's question of what impact would a contract FBO
have on the airport, said a professional FBO probably won't look at us until we sell
100,000 gallons of fuel per month. R. McKinney said we would probably look at making
more income because the contract FBO would pay rent. J. Nicholson responded if they
did come, in they would probably expect us to make some concessions for them.
Director Boudreaux said a thorough investigation would have to be conducted prior to
making any decision. J. Ross said in a way you are making money with more planes
coming in and you are saving on the cost of the tower. B. Nickle said there is an off-set
. there with the fuel cost and the pricing, and that was considered when we set the formula
for pricing the fuel.
E. Louise Powers, T-Hangar Report. Reported all T-Hangars and their storage units
are rented. There are 14 names on the twin size unit's waiting list, there are five on the
single engine unit's list and twelve on the hangar storage waiting lists. In the FBO
hangar there were nine monthly tenants and there were six overnights. Director
Boudreaux responding to Chairman Wallace, said with that many names on the waiting
list we could probably build another hangar.
F. Construction Report. W. Jones announced the City's Building Inspection Dept. had
signed off on the U. of A. Hangar, and answering R. Boudreaux, said he would check on
the Certificate of Occupancy being issued. R. Boudreaux said they would need to
discuss a date for the Ribbon Cutting-Open House.
W. Jones reported there were no cracks in the new taxiways. The electrical contractor is
working on the lights along the taxiways and the seeding needs to be done along the
taxiways.
Speaking of the taxiway construction, he said they had scheduled to close the airport
Sunday night and reopen Tuesday night. He said with the ballgame weekend coming up
next weekend, and no rain predicted during that time, that seemed the best time for the
construction. Answering Pat Ross' question, he said they had looked at closing just at
• night, but after looking at all scenarios and how to move forward, closing on Monday and
Tuesday seemed best. They will be doing concrete paving 11 " thick in strips with drop-
offs 11 " deep. It would be very detrimental to aircraft if they had to exit the runway. We
hope to do several strips on Monday and then coming back on Tuesday doing the fill-in
4
• strips, then follow up with the contractor pushing material up to the concrete. There is a
safety issue to be considered. There will be times when equipment will need to be on the
runway.
W. Jones explained they have done one night of excavating work. He said they were
always concerned about the safety and welfare of the users, if they weren't then everyone
would be in trouble. R. Boudreaux said we will consider opening the end of the runway
for general aviation.
Chairman Wallace posed two questions: Did anyone speak to the people being affected
before deciding when to close, and was there some way to let people know, rather than
finding out the day it is closed? He explained if he was going out on that particular day,
he would normally prepare his flight brief about 30 minutes before leaving, and would
then find out the airport was closed. He asked if a note could be included with the airport
bills. Chairman Wallace asked if there was some way to take our tenants into
consideration before arbitrarily making a decision.
Director Boudreaux thanked Chairman Wallace for the questions, saying he had asked
Wayne today if Monday and Tuesday was still planned. Once we have a date then we
would let the tenants know. We can put notices on the hangar doors. He said he had
talked to some of the tenants, and it had been mentioned at the last Board Meeting.
Chairman Wallace said some of the tenants don't go to the airport everyday to find
• notices on their hangar doors, but they do get their bill every month. He said there is the
view that some of the decisions get made without regards to the people living here.
O. Loewer noting he was one with the least aviation knowledge, but as a passenger he
goes to his computer to check if his plane is going to be on time. He asked if these types
of notices could be placed on our website, then the tenants would have one source to go
to and it can be updated frequently. He also said the web page and e-mail would give
two ways to communicate. He further explained a web site that' was managed properly
would give two-way communication. If a tenant had a problem with a closing on a
certain date, then they could let us know. You can keep people posted in a timely
manner. Director Boudreaux explained we have just bought a website domain and we are
just building the information for "Fly FYV". He said if Monday and Tuesday is too soon
we can move it to Thursday and Friday. W. Jones noted Monday and Tuesday were the
best dates after looking at the weather.
J. Nicholson said we have a list of about 2 %2 dozen email addresses and we have been
including a note on the airport invoices asking tenants to give us their e-mail address. He
encouraged the tenants to send in their email addresses. B. Nickle said developing the
web site may take a while, but developing the e-mail list for notification of airport
projects might be faster. Chairman Wallace asked that the minutes reflect that Frank
Sperandeo had volunteered to collect the email addresses for the tenants on the east side.
Chairman Wallace asked if we could put a note in the next billing, saying that from time-
to-time we need to send out information, and if they would provide their email it would
• make notification easier.
R. McKinney, expressing his thoughts, said if no pilots were included in the meeting to
decide to close the airport for construction, then it was a mistake. Chairman Wallace said
5
he thought having the pilots involved in deciding, and on the transfer of information,
would make them become advocates.
W. Jones said we will look at relocating the threshold for Runway 16.
W. Jones, continuing with his report, stated the contractor would be installing barricades
around the T-Hangar construction area. The building is scheduled to arrive around
Thanksgiving. J. Nicholson questioned if the completion date would need to be
extended. W. Jones said that would be something that if it is needed, the contractor
would have to request the extension. Director Boudreaux explained there had been a
delay problem with the Large Scale Development and that was corrected
administratively, but preparation work had continued, and there had been some delay in
the delivery of steel. W. Jones said they had surveyed the ramp and they have a positive
slope and have raised the asphalt as much as three inches. Director Boudreaux said the
Board approved the changes for the lights for the new hangar. Answering T. Collier, the
Compass Rose will be relocated and we will work with Wings and Bob and Mike on the
location.
G. Maintenance Report. Chairman Boudreaux reported staff had been replacing lights
in the parking lots and on the ramp. The light poles have been painted. They have been
working in the USPS area to salvage doors and ceiling tiles. A contractor will be
working on AMP'S (Aviation Maintenance Professionals) roof on the first day of good
weather. The contractor is from Texarkana and his bid was better than the local bids.
There are three separate repair jobs.
ITEM #6: Old Business.
A. Economic Impact Study. Director Boudreaux explained the Airport had received a
Preliminary Proposal from the U. of A. for $4, 987.00. That proposal included more of
what we wanted.
Bob Nickle moved to direct staff to consummate a contract and
forward the contract to the City Staff Contract Review Committee
and forward to the Mayor for signature. David Hollman gave second
to the motion. The motion carried.
B. Amendment to Arkansas Aeronautics Grant #208-05, to construct T-Hangar
"H". R. Boudreaux explained he had applied for the grant increase of $50,000.00 when
it was found the cost of the hangar was going to be more.
Janice Stanesic moved to accept the amendment to the T-Hangar "H"
State Grant and forward to the City Council for approval. Dave
Bowman gave second to the motion. The motion carried.
D. Bowman complimented staff for going after the amendment to the Grant.
• ITEM #7: New Business.
A. Proposed contracting guideline for Airport Board and Airport Staff. Chairman
Wallace stated the reason and purpose of the item is to keep everyone informed of the
process. Director Boudreaux, answering B. Nickle, said it is no problem, as it is pretty
6
. much what we already do now. It is a good idea. Chairman Wallace asked that a copy of
the guideline be included as part of the minutes (see attached).
David Hollman moved to approve the contracting guidelines. Dave
Bowman gave second to the motion. The motion carried.
B. Re-wiring for T-Hangars A-D. R. Boudreaux stated the specifications for new light
fixtures were in the agenda packet. The Board had agreed to review the plans, which
shows the wiring for each hangar. The primary reason to change is the power to the
hangars goes off when the breaker is overloaded. O. Loewer said he thought if
something is going to be done to the electricity, if some tenants want more electric,
separate meters should be installed. R. Boudreaux stated he did not feel that meters were
needed because the electric consumption is very low. Chairman Wallace said the tenants
are getting a good deal on the rent, and we should ask them to be more aware of electric
usage, to not leave lights on twenty-four hours a day, and not leave heaters on. B. Nickle
suggested using the email communications to inform the tenants that we are trying to
work out problems.
Dave Bowman moved to accept the project scope and to put the
project out for bids. Bob Nickle gave second to the motion. The
motion carried.
C. Lease with Harrison Mosley for restaurant in the terminal. Director Boudreaux
• explained the provisions of the lease are the same as for the previous restaurant tenant.
They have come highly recommended and they have bought new equipment. They are
also in the cleaning business so they understand that also.
Janice Stanesic moved for approval to forward the lease to the City
Staff Contract Review Committee and for signature by the Mayor.
David Hollman gave second to the motion. The motion carried.
D. Lease Amendment with Aviation Maintenance Professionals. C. Wallace
announced that Bob Dean, principal of AMP, was in attendance today. R. Boudreaux
explained the amendment to the lease will allow AMP to rent the other half of the hangar,
the area just vacated by the University. He explained staff is arranging for new roofing
for the whole hangar because of the leaks. Their business capabilities will benefit from
having the expanded work area. He complimented AMP on their service, saying they get
called out at night and they always respond with a smile. C. Wallace explained there will
be a reduction in their rent for the first period, because they are taking in more rental area
at their slow time. B. Nickle thanked them for being here on the field.
David Hollman moved for approval of the Lease Amendment to
forward to the City Staff Contract Review Committee and signature
by the Mayor. Dave Bowman gave second to the motion. The motion
carried.
E. FAA Letter announcing the new Benefit Cost for the Tower. Director Boudreaux
told of receiving the notice from the FAA explaining our tower cost. We were given time
to respond with information that might change what we would have to pay. They have
7
• now contacted us telling us that with the additional information provided, the cost of the
tower had been reduced to 9%, which is approximately $26,000 annually. He stated he
had sent the FAA a Letter of Intent to accept, but the item will require a City Council
Resolution. C. Wallace said this puts us one step closer to a break even budget. Director
Boudreaux said the FAA reviews this every two years, by then we may have grown even
more, and that might take the cost down to nothing. T. Collier expressed his thanks to
Ray and James for providing the extra information. O. Loewer said it was a significant
step and thanked Ray for staying on top of it. J. Nicholson said Otto deserves some
credit for his recommendations on the charts that showed our growth.
Otto Loewer moved for acceptance of the new Benefit Cost Sharing
for FYV tower and forward to City Staff Contract Review Committee
and for City Council approval. David Hollman gave second to the
motion. The motion carried.
F. New Fuel Provider Contract. Director Boudreaux explained that City's Selection
Committee had picked Exxon, but Exxon was unable to provide proof to the numbers
they had given us. We feel it was an honest mistake, but it made their bid inaccurate.
We are now negotiating with the company that was rated second by the Selection
Committee, which is AVFueI. Listing some of their benefits, the fuel trucks would be
free, they will upgrade the fuel farm, and provide the FBO Manager Software. The pilots
like the AVTrip benefits. R. Boudreaux said we now have a contract for fuel truck
• repairs with AMP. We once had a truck to fail in front of a plane on a quick turn and
AMP quickly took care of the problem.
Bob Nickle moved to approve a contract with AVFueI, to forward the
contract to the City Staff Contract Review Committee and to the City
Council for approval. David Hollman gave second to the motion. The
motion carried.
Chairman Wallace asked the minutes reflect the Airport Board's Consensus that when a
committee as important as a Contract Selection Committee is going to be formed, that the
Airport Board will be notified, and at best, a member(s) of the Airport Board be a part of
that committee.
G. Fixed Base Operator (FBO) Solicitation. Chairman Wallace explained the Board _
and Airport Staff are to meet with one proposer, Million Air, to understand what
components go into a proposal for their services. Director Boudreaux said he was excited
that someone was interested, that means there might be more that are interested, and an
RFP is our marketing piece. Chairman Wallace said Million Air had said they would
provide us, for our review, copies of two or three RFP's that they had responded to. O.
Loewer asked if it would be inappropriate to direct staff to prepare a draft RFP following
the visit from the provider? J. Stanesic said it would put us ahead by a couple of months
to go ahead. R. Boudreaux said we would want to have something the Board had seen
and approved before putting it on the street. Chairman Wallace responding to O. Loewer,
• said that would tum it over to staff to do the RFP, and he wanted the Board to be
involved in the initial conversation. Director Boudreaux stated he had put this item on
the agenda, at what he had thought had been at the Board's request. Chairman Wallace
said, in the hopes of being friendly, but clear, he wanted the Board involved, and didn't
8
. want staff to present it and say it is already decided. O. Loewer suggested having the
provider attend an Airport Board Strategic Planning Meeting.
Bob Nickle moved that the staff be directed to explore the preparation
of a draft RFP for contract FBO to take over the line service and
provide aircraft fueling, following the visit with the potential FBO
operator at the next Airport Board Strategic Planning Meeting.
David Holman gave second to the motion. The motion carried.
H. Revised Airport Capital Plan. Director Boudreaux explained there were some
additional items that needed to be included in the City's CIP system and referred to the
documents in the agenda. The FAA has already approved these items for the airport in
their NPIAS (National Integrated Airports Systems) plan and we need to add them to our
CIP.
David Holtman moved that to approve the revised Five Year Capital
Plan for City's Budget purposes. Dave Bowman gave second to the
motion.
O. Loewer said he liked the way it was laid out. Director Boudreaux told of being invited
by the FAA to attend their CIP Conference in Fort Worth, and be on one of the panels
next week, The FAA issued the invitation because they said our CIP is one of the best
• programs they had seen.
The motion carried.
ITEM #8: Other Business.
A. Items from the Public. No items from the public.
B. Items from the Airport Board. Chairman Wallace said he had penciled in next
Thursday (October 14'h) for the next Strategic Planning Meeting.
Meeting Adjourned at 4:02 p.m.

MONTHLY REPORT
Director, Aviation and Economic Development
Fayetteville, Arkansas
November 2004
AVIATION:
Following a thorough review by the Airport Board and the Selection Committee and many
reiterations of the fueling contract, the contract was presented to the City Council for their
consideration at the November 30 Agenda Session. We satisfied all of the questions and the contract
was put on the consent agenda. We will hopefully have anew contract with AvFuel following the
December 7, 2004 City Council Meeting.
The T Hangar "H" project is progressing, although slowly, due to a lot of wet weather. The forecast
for the first few weeks in December is for dry weather so hopefully the footings will be poured and
will be ready for the steel that is due to be delivered mid December. The porous concrete repair has
not been completed due to the weather.
"Plane Good Cafe" continues to receive good comments. They closed over the four day
Thanksgiving weekend and the telephone recording filled up with questions about when they would
reopen. I think they will do very well.
USPS continues to proceed on schedule. Ceiling is in. No doubt that they will make the end of the
year.
We met with Betty Loewer to discuss the project to have the Architectural students redesign the
Terminal into more useful space. She and her team have agreed to do the project for the Spring term.
We are very excited to be working with the students. I hope that we will be able to have
presentations by the students and the staff in early May.
I have attached a copy of the October report to this report since we did not have a meeting in
November. Also attached is a trip report for the FAA conference I attended. Following the
conference and meetings with Don Hams, our FAA Projects Manager, we prepared our letter to the
FAA with our Five Year Plan, which the Airport Board approved at the last meeting. That letter is
also attached for your information.
Also attached is a letter send to the tenants informing them of activities on the airport and asking for
their email address. We have a good list that includes about 60% of the tenants. Should you wish to
communicate with the tenants with the list, let us know.

Monthly Report
Dated December 1 , 2004
Page Two for November
The Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce held the Manufacturers Appreciation night at the airport as
they have for the last two years. They had a big crowd and expressed their appreciation for use of the
facility. We do not charge for this PR event.
We had one home football game in November. The staff is getting very good at handling the crowd
and the aircraft. Again, thanks to the volunteers who helped. We have several ERJ's scheduled to
use the airport for visiting teams and the Razorback Basketball team during the Basketball season.
We also have a B-717 scheduled to pick up the "Riverdance" group December 6, 2004.
We waited at the scheduled Bid Opening for bids for the T Hangar rewiring project in Peggy Vice's
Office (City's Purchasing Officer) and nobody showed. We will re-write and re-bid the project. No
reason for the no-show except that the project is small and all of the electrical contractors are busy.
We met with the City Building Maintenance Division to see if they could do the job and the answer
was no—not enough people and too much on the plate.
We met with Rick McKinney to discuss Air Fest 2005. The date has been .set for Father's Day
weekend 2005 and Rick will attend ICAS convention to get a line up. He has already started looking
. for performers, sponsors, rooms, cars etc. etc. We are looking forward to a great show again in 2005.
During Strategic Planning Meetings, the Airport Board asked that we prepare a final Draft RFP to
see if we can entice a nationally recognized Operator to run the fuel and line service at Fayetteville-
Drake. The Board received an unsolicited presentation and discussions have continued surrounding
the potential for a solicitation. We will present a draft to the Board in December.
Our new WEB site is up and operating. It is a work in progress, but we are looking for suggestions.
Please check it out and let us know what you think. www.fly-fyv.com.
Operations and sales are down for the fourth consecutive month. There are many factors that affect
the decline. The price of oil and the marginal weather are two key factors. We are hoping that the
trend turns around with the recent decline in the price of oil. We are evaluating the situation to
determine if there is something we can do aggressively to turn it around.
Economic Development:
I attended the Northwest Arkansas Certified Development Company Annual Meeting in Eureka
Springs. A copy of the annual report is available in the office.
I also attended several meetings of the FEDC (Fayetteville Economic Development Council). Input
from the group will require the organization staff to help create the image of Fayetteville as business
friendly and then to support efforts to improve transportation in the City.

Page Three for November
I met with Jack Morris of Washington Regional Medical Center to discuss the potential access
improvements to the Mall area from the interstate and from the medical complex south of Fulbright
Expressway. The final fix for the retail district access will be some form of intersection that allows
traffic from the south side to proceed across Fulbright to Steele Crossing. A flyover or intersection
or combination of some kind will allow interstate traffic to easily get to the retail and restaurant
establishments and then back on the interstate without the need to involve Joyce Street or Business
Highway 71 .
I am working with Irvin Saviers to get an agreement for construction of Van Asche from Steele
Crossing to Gregg Street. While not the complete fix, it is a good second step. The Chamber's
Transportation Committee helped get the AHTD support for improvements to the Shiloh Drive
access to Fulbright Drive west of Target as step one. One of the top priorities of the Administration
is to get better access to the retail district from the Interstate. It is also a top priority of the Chamber
of Commerce.

October 2004
AVIATION:
Following thorough review and do diligence of the fuel supplier contract, it was determined that
ExxonMobile was not the lowest responsive proposal and we therefore selected AvFuel as the best
responsive proposal. We hope to have renewal contracts mid-November. There will not be any
interruption in service. The company understands that we are looking at the possibility of
contracting out the fuel and line service FBO. The sooner we get the contract signed, the sooner we
get the renewal benefits of the contract. Renewal benefits include:
No fuel truck lease payment for 18 months
Fuel Farm improvements up to $6,000.00
• New FBO software up to $6,000.00
Architectural Constructors Inc. broke ground on T Hangar "H" in October. They are proceeding
slowly but expect to be ready for steel when it arrives in November. They will repair the porous
concrete the second week of November weather permitting.
Initial concrete pour was completed without incident at the new intersection of Taxiway "E" and the
Runway. We closed the south 3300 feet for two days. On the second day, the tower worked with the
contractor and opened the runway for aircraft unable to land at other area airports due to fog.
Fayetteville Municipal Airport, Drake Field was the only airport open for most of the morning.
Again, great cooperation with the tower and the contractor as is the norm for FMA Drake.
The new restaurant "Plane Good Cafe" opened to rave reviews. I think we have a good one here—
finally. They have already done catering for charter aircraft (135 meals at a time) and again excellent
results.
The USPS build out is proceeding well. The contractor is hanging sheetrock already and is confident
the new Post Office will be open before the end of the year.
The U of A has asked not to have a ribbon cutting for their new hangar. We will respect their
wishes.
. I was invited by the FAA to participate in a panel at their fall conference in Ft. Worth. The topic was
Airport Capital Planning. I have attached a trip report on the conference for your information.

Monthly Report
Dated November 2, 2004
For October
Through the month of October, we have serviced three 737 charters for the football season. Our
team is getting good at the care of large aircraft. We have at least two more large aircraft charters
this season. The first Basketball game will depart our airport in December via a Boeing 717 regional
jet. Our personnel are very familiar with the aircraft and service requirements.
Following approval by the Airport Board, we have worked with Don Harris, our FAA facilities
manager to flesh out the 2005 Capital Improvement Program. We have met with our consulting
engineering firm and will request Task Orders for design and engineering for the projects. The first
priority is to update the Master Plan and the Hazard Zoning Plan for the airport. A very close second
is the new west side general aviation apron on the north side of the Terminal Building. The apron
project will include a new airport entrance.
We have scheduled a meeting with the U of A Architectural department and Dr. Otto Loewer of the
Airport Board to consider potential for a rehab project for the Terminal building.
Economic Development:
The rail project is stalled again as we are having difficulty finding anyone to guarantee the bonds.
More meetings are scheduled.

Greetings to all:
As 2004 nears its end, the time is right to thank all of you for your business and support of Fayetteville
Municipal Airport, Drake Field. Together we have improved our facilities and quality of service and
continue to strive to make FMA Drake the best it can be.
You probably have noticed the construction of T Hangar "H" underway. We hope that new tenants will
be able to move in just after the first of the year. Eight new hangars mean eight new tenants with eight
new aircraft flying out of Fayetteville. I'm sure they will receive a warm welcome from all.
Next week we will receive bids on the electrical rebuild of T Hangars "A" through "D". The project
separates the electric service of each bay placing the lights and receptacles on individual breakers. The
doors will remain as they are. The project also adds new lighting fixtures to each bay; two 250 watt metal
halide, low bay fixtures to each single unit and three fixtures to each twin unit. We hope to award the
project in December. There will be some inconvenience associated with the construction as we will need
to move aircraft out of the way and to remove any building code, non-conforming fixtures. Should you
have questions or concerns about this project, please call me at the office.
• The USDA Forest Service ramp and taxiway project is nearing completion with only taxiway lighting and
seeding remaining. The Taxiway "E" connection will provide an easy tum off to the east should an
aircraft landing to the south roll past the taxiway "D" intersection. We believe the new taxiway will be a
welcome addition for our users.
We hope that you are enjoying the convenience and economy of the new self serve fuel station. I am
interested in your ideas on how we might improve this service. We have received a lot of good comments
and have fixed the complaints.
Plane Good Cafe is now open in the Terminal. We have tried most of their menu and can attest to its
quality and wholesomeness. If you need a bite, consider Plane Good Cafe. Your comments are welcome
according to Harrison and Stephanie Mosley who own and operate the restaurant. They brought their
staff from Camden where they operated the food service for International Paper Co.
Thanks for taking time to read this note. We want to be more proactive with our information and will
pursue every alternative. We are putting together an Email list so that we can get the word out
electronically. Special thanks to Frank Sperandeo for his efforts to get addresses. If you haven't already,
please get us your address so that you are included in our mailings
We look forward to hearing from you. We have a great airport and a great airport community. Let us
know how we can help make your FMA Drake experience the best it can be.

Dear Ed,
I thoroughly enjoyed participating in your fall conference in Ft. Worth in October. It was
very beneficial for me as we are working our CIP for 2005 through 2009 as we continue to
convert Fayetteville Municipal Airport, Drake Field from commercial service to general
aviation service. We continue to maintain our status as a Part 139 facility and plan to keep
that status as an incentive for air taxi operators to use a facility that maintains the higher
standard. We also plan to keep our Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) in operation.
Aircraft operations continue to increase at a steady pace as indicated by the most recent
Benefit Cost Analysis which assigned FYV a rating of 91 . Our participation in the ATCT
Contract Tower cost share program amounts to approximately $26,000.00 annually.
• I have attached our newly revised five year plan. I'm sure that Don Harris has talked with
you about our plan to improve aircraft parking areas for transient aircraft and to provide
building sites adjacent to new parking aprons and the abundant auto parking facilities for
future corporate users. We firmly believe that our location convenient to I-540 makes
FMA Drake Field the likely beneficiary of future corporate and recreational aviation
development in Northwest Arkansas. Our plan also provides for expanded development
for the smaller aircraft user.
Along with the "east side" developments for the USDA Forest Service and additional T-
Hangars, we plan to flesh out the "west side" development to accommodate the transient
user and the larger corporate user that needs the more convenient access and to take
advantage of the adjacent large parking lot constructed for the thousands of passengers that
used to frequent our airport. In our work plan for the future, we include a new general
aviation ramp for the west side of the airport. With this additional space for the transient
visitor, we can assume additional traffic for the restaurant and the museums, as well as
additional customers for the full service provided by the FBO. We continue to work with
the Arkansas Aviation Technical Center (AATC) to locate a new training center adjacent
to the new ramp. AATC averages more than 50 A&P students all year long.
For 2005, the first priority is to update our Master Plan. The current plan was published in
June of 1999, but most of the work dates back to 1994. There were studies done on several
• alternatives for the future, but the focus of the planning at that time was the continued
commercial passenger service presence. Since there is no longer commercial service, the
study needs to be revamped or overhauled using the general aviation model.

Our second priority for 2005 is a new general aviation ramp and entrance. This new west
side ramp will necessitate a new entrance road to parking and terminal facilities. We will
take the opportunity to make our entrance match our new role as a first class corporate
aviation provider.
The other project is to complete the access road to the USDA Forest Service area. This
project is important to complete vehicle access to the east side industrial development area,
but has a lower priority for 2005 as USDA has delayed some of their work. It would be
best to wait until the major construction is complete before building the road.
The remainder of our 2005 CEP is local and State funded. We have received great support
from the State of Arkansas Department of Aeronautics in our redevelopment effort. We
will continue to keep our infrastructure in a good state of repair by leveraging our revenues
with State grant money. Our roof repair program will continue and we will repair the Fire
Sprinkler System in the Arkansas Air Museum (AAM) building. AAM is located in the
original hangar built at FMA Drake Field. The hangar was dedicated in 1944 and is
constructed entirely of wood. Indeed, it is a very rare artifact itself
• The remodeling of the Airport Terminal Building is essential. The FMA Drake Terminal
was specifically designed to move passengers from parking through the terminal to their
aircraft and back again. It included ticket counters, rental car counters, baggage handling
equipment, waiting areas and a restaurant. The only remaining useful area of the building
is the restaurant and some offices. We have modified areas to reutilize the building, but a
complete redesign and remodeling is necessary. Dr. Otto Loewer, a member of the Airport
Board, coordinated a project with the U of A Architectural Department to have a class
suggest modifications to the building that will not only improve the usefulness of the
building, but that will convert the building into a revenue generator for the Airport.
Thank you for your support of Fayetteville Municipal Airport, Drake Field. We continue
to work hard, as a valued part of the aviation community of Northwest Arkansas, to make
our airport the best it can be. With your continued support, it is only a matter of time
before FMA Drake takes its place as the premiere GA airport of Northwest Arkansas.

Dear Mr. Boudreaux:
Please accept my sincere appreciation for your participation in our Airports Capital
Improvement Program (ACIP) Conference on October 19, 2004. Over 200 people attended
and feedback indicates that the conference was a huge success. Having a panel of articulate
and knowledgeable airport professionals added to this success.

OFFICE OF AIRPORTS-SOUTHWEST REGION
AIRPORTS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING CONFERENCE
Ft Worth, Texas
October 19, 2004
The annual FAA fall conference was keyed to Capital Improvement Planning. Naomi
Saunders, Division Manager of the Southwest Region of the FAA, welcomed the
conferees and introduced Cameron Bryan, Manager of Planning and Programming.
Cameron talked about the total AIP (Airport Improvement Program) program
authorization of $3.5 Billion as the biggest ever. It is divided up in very complicated
formulae. Under the Vision 100 program, the amount grows by $. 1 Billion each fiscal
year to $3.7 Billion in 2007. The authorization must be funded each year by the
appropriation bill.
Primary airports get the lion share of the funding. Reliever and military airports are
funded next. The small airport fund gets its money from primary airports that forfeit a
portion of their entitlement funds since their revenue stream is funded by PFC dollars.
This fund is divided between small hub, non hub and non commercial service. The funds
are then allocated to projects that are selected. All projects must be Capacity, Safety,
Security or Noise related projects.
His final message was that to compete for discretionary funding, you must have an
approved plan and must stay in very close contact with your FAA project manager, in our
case Don Harris.
The national perspective was presented by Dennis Roberts from DC. His guidance was
that the airports need to keep their plan up-to-date and that changes should be very few.
While a long range plan for the airlines includes nothing more than lunch, an airport long
range plan must be consistent. Airports must have ALP (Airport Layout Plan) Exhibit
"A" current, and on file. Airports need to have projects ready to go by the
August/September tum back period. As much as $450M annually is available for
reprogramming at the end of each year.
Designs for eligible projects will be fully reimbursed with the project. Airports might
need to pay up front for design/engineering. Make sure we are ready for the project.
. They want to help us get to "YES." Worst case, grants will be awarded by April 1 , 2005.

The next presentations were by Cameron Bryan and he discussed the process. He also
provided handouts that covered the changes.
Thomas Wade, Planning and Programming for the Southwest Region, talked about
planning schedules, breaking them down into a three year cycle.
After lunch the FAA gave the conferees a workshop that included a myriad of projects to
be rank ordered and funded over a three year planning cycle. It was tough in only an
hour.
We had the opportunity to meet with the FAA's Arkansas ADO (Airport Development
Office) folks. Ed Agnew talked about the.2005 program and how hard it would be to find
discretionary funding. He encouraged specific projects prioritized so that the funding
could be allocated to the first priority and then the second as more money became
available. The good news is that non-primary entitlement money is going up and
apportionments are going down. Apportionments take money right off the top of the
budget and make the pot smaller for all. FMA Drake has $ 150M in entitlement money
each year.
The last session was a panel of professionals to talk about their experience in CIP
planning. We participated as one of four to talk about our experience in Fayetteville.
The real answer is to plan and communicate.
