ITEM #1 : Welcome and Agenda Review-Chairman Bob Nickle
A. Comments from the public. R. McKinney asked to give an Air Show Presentation
at the next meeting.
ITEM #2 : Minutes of the April 14, 2005 meeting.
A motion to approve the minutes was made by Dave Bowman and was seconded by
David Hollman. The motion carried.
• ITEM #3: Receiving of the Reports.
A. Chairman Nickle gave his time for the Car Show Report. B. Fox named the
advertising they are using. There will be helicopter rides at the Car Show. O. Loewer
expressed concern that there were many things happening in Fayetteville that weekend.
B. Ray Boudreaux, Director. A copy of the FBO lease has been forwarded to the City
Attorney for review. Expressed thanks to Betty Loewer's class for their terminal building
presentation. He asked the Board to review their plans and respond back at the Strategic
Planning Meeting on features they liked. The explosion proof switches for the new
hangar are in. Every seam on AMP' S roof has been taped and a second and third coat of
the Elastomeric applied, with no leaks so far. Garver Engineer's plans for Phase I for the
Forest Service are being advertised. Our Internal Audit should be coming out before
long. He thanked Camilla Smith and the Ninety-Nines for painting the Compass Ross on
the ramp last Saturday. Our gardens at the terminal 's ramp entrance have been redone
and will be part of Fayetteville In Bloom. We have received approval from the FAA to
sell the Snow Blower. We anticipate receiving at least $ 100,000 from the sale to use to
purchase a front end loader and dump truck. The Purchasing Department has put it out
for bids, and also, the fire sprinkler at the Air Museum. A revised Airport Certification
Manual for the FAA is due June 9h.
C. James Nicholson, Financial Coordinator. The operations continue to be down
compared to last year. Answering Chairman Nickle, M. Kratchmer stated he could assist
locating the national FAA report on operations. J. Nicholson explained new information
had been included in the report, prices of fuel at airports similar to ours, municipal owned
. airports in college towns. The revenues are ahead on rents and leases for the year. If we
proceed with the Capital projects we have scheduled, we will have $600,000 remaining in
1
. reserve at year end. Director Boudreaux encouraged contractors to bid on the T-Hangar
re-wiring project.
D. Louise Powers, T-Hangar Report. All T-hangars and storage units are rented.
One tenant left and had one replacement. The new T-hangar will be filled when it opens,
some tenants will be moving to the new hangar and we will be getting some new tenants.
For April there were 12 monthly tenants in the FBO hangar.
E. Construction Report. W. Jones reported all documents had been submitted to the
FAA and the project is almost closed for the Taxiway A Extension, closing out two of the
three grants. We did save some on the project and that will go into the west side ramp
grant project. The electric switches for T-Hangar H are in. They are making some
adjustments on the hangar doors and cleaning along the fire walls. We have received
tentative allocation from Don Harris, FAA, for the west side ramp and hope to get the
work placed on the July 2151 City Council meeting. The entry redesign will be included
with the west ramp project and the FAA will help pay for the new entry.
F. Maintenance Report. Bob Nickle said he was pleased with the format and everyone
could understand what work is performed by the maintenance personnel. Answering V.
DeCoster, the fuel farm filters are changed once a year and the new FBO will take over
that duty.
ITEM #4: Old Business.
A. T-Hangars "A" through "D" Electric Rehabilitation Update. Purchasing
• Department said the project will be advertised this weekend and they will send it out to
their list of contractors.
B. FBO RFP Update. Director Boudreaux asked the Board to respond to the Draft
Lease at the Strategic Planning Meeting. Chairman Nickle explained the FBO would be
a company owned FBO, not a franchise. They offered the best opportunity to take
growth to the next level. Their financial strength was significantly more than the others,
it's not going to be an instant profit center, and we will need someone that can handle
that. They have a national presence and a greater chance for success. Their training
program was impressive. Director Boudreaux said they complied completely to the
request of the RFP. Contract negotiations of the contact will begin. The east side self
serve fueling will remain under the City's control. The Airport will receive a 10 cent fuel
flowing fee for every gallon of fuel delivered to the Airport. We will buy fuel for the self
serve from Million Air and pay them 15 cents to deliver the fuel to the self serve facility.
It was suggested a review of the pricing formula may be needed.
C. Compass Rose Update. Previously discussed.
D. U. of A. Interior Design Class Presentation Update. Chairman Nickle said the
presentation was very professional and we are grateful for their help. O. Loewer said it
was a good match of the University and the community, and now those students will
become ambassadors for the Airport. It was a nice reception.
ITEM #5: New Business.
A. Task Order # 9 with McClelland Consulting Engineers for Terminal Re-Use
Plan, not to exceed $8,000.00. W. Jones explained they will use Richard Alderman of
. Wittenburg Delony Davidson as the architectural part of their team to work on the
terminal project, they have worked on four other terminal projects for the airport. They
2
will use information from the students and information from the Board to see what works
best. They will do a study, gather ideas, good and bad, have the Board decide what they
want to do first and then they will come back with plans to renovate. Copies of the
students' plans will be copied for the Board and then compile comments on one set.
A motion to approve Task Order #9 with McClelland Engineers and forward to the
City Council was made by David Hollman and seconded by Vaughn DeCoster. The
motion carried.
B. Set date for Strategic Planning Meeting to review terminal building re-use plans.
Tuesday, May 171h was the date set for the meeting.
ITEM #6: Other Business.
A. Items from the Public. Car Show this weekend, and Air Fest in June.
B. Items from the Airport Board. Dave Bowman stated the Young Eagle Program is
scheduled for May 21 " for children ages 8 through 17, and the event is sponsored by the
Experimental Aircraft Association. The Children's Aviation Summer Camp will be held
in June at the Arkansas Air Museum with enrollment of $50.00. Contract them for more
information. Director Boudreaux reported there is trouble with the FAA budget in
Washington DC, with them not having enough money to fund the Contract Tower
Program. We had contacted Congressman Boozman and he had supported funding the
Contract Tower Program.
Meeting Adjourned at 2:53.

Morning News
1 . Welcome and Agenda Review, Chairman Nickle.
Explained the Board was there to discuss just one item today. If the lease with Woolsey
Aviation, Inc., dba Million Air of Fayetteville is approved it will go to the City Council at
their June 21 " meeting.
2. Fixed Base Operator (FBO) Contract. A negotiation meeting was held and
agreement was reached and those items are reflected in the proposed lease. Questions
raised by Board members have been addressed. Discussion followed on the contract.
The self serve fueling facility will remain the City' s operation, purchasing the self serve
. fuel from Million Air. They will pay a fuel flowage fee on the fuel delivered to the field
at 10 cents per gallon, we will purchase the self serve fuel from Million Air and they will
deliver the fuel at a charge of 15 cents per gallon. They will fiumish the delivery Bill of
Lading showing actual gallons delivered. Our goal is not have the self serve compete
with the FBO. There is a procedure in place to establish purchase price from Million Air
and selling price at the self serve.
Million Air has inspected the fuel farm and its systems. We will make any necessary
repairs and after Million Air takes over the FBO they will take over all maintenance of
the fuel farm. All electrical systems will be removed and operated manually.
Million Air will manage the FBO hangar and rent terminal space. The FBO hangar and
terminal building rentals are graduated amounts yearly. Owner is from this area and is
coming home to open a company owned FBO, not a franchise, but will have the franchise
look. They plan to invest $ 150,000 for the design, construction, and equipping the FBO
facilities.
A motion to approve the contract with Woolsey Aviation, Inc., dba Million Air of
Fayetteville and forward the contract to the City Council was made by Otto Loewer
and was seconded by Janice Stanesic. The motion carried.
Meeting adjourned 1 :45 p.m.

MONTHLY REPORT
Director, Aviation and Economic Development
Fayetteville, Arkansas
May 2005
AVIATION:
Operations for the month of May increased and actually exceed the month of May last year.
Hopefully, the downtrend has ended and we will see anew growth in operations. On the other hand,
fuel sales for the month were slightly down when compared with May last year. The trend in sales
and operations continues in a very positive climb.
Several meetings were conducted with our new fuel and line service FBO, Million Air of
Fayetteville. We negotiated a contract and the documents are now in the system for approval by the
City Council and signature by the Mayor. We foresee no problems. We also held meetings to
discuss the building remodel and layout so that the new Million Air image would shine through.
Several of the student layouts were considered and many used. The first step will be to fix up the
restrooms, the lobby, and the CSR station. Million Air will install a theater room, a 72" plasma
closed circuit Million Air TV and security.
Final inspection of Hangar H was conducted with only minor issues to be corrected. Tenants have
moved in and have been very complimentary of the building. There are still several moves to be
completed as there were some older unit tenants that moved into the new building. We still have a
waiting list.
James continues to work very hard to close out all of the open projects before the end of the fiscal
year for the State which is June 30. We have several still open and the paperwork is all that remains.
We are continuing to pressure MCE to get the paperwork in and they are continuing to pressure the
contractors. This is only another system of the amount of work that is being done in NWA. The
paperwork is always the last thing to get done.
Update on AMP roof—no leaks!
The T Hangar ABCD electric rewire bids are due June 14. We have 8 contractors interested and due
to some questions, we have extended the bid date to insure that all contractors have the information.
During the final inspection of T Hangar H we found that with the new lights installed on the same 20
amp breaker, there was still a problem with the breaker tripping under a compressor load. We
• changed the specifications to separate the lights out to their own breaker. So the new plan is to have
doors as they are, lights on a separate breaker and receptacles on a separate breaker.

Bids for the 1997 Snow Blower are due June 15, 2005 . We have a lot of interest in the machine and
hope to get a good bid. We have listed the minimum as $ 125K. We will replace the blower with a
small dump with blade and a loader/back hoe combination tractor.
The Arkansas Air Museum Car Show was less than successful. There were a lot of things tha caused
the problem including weather and a late start. There is interest in another similar experiment along
with Bikes Blues and BBQ in October.
Professor Betty Lower Class presentation was held May 3 in the terminal building. It was absolutely
great. The presenters were professional and the audience was very receptive. We will use several of
their designs in the new lobby redesign.
I had a job shadow in May. Zack Edwards followed me around for two days. I think he is ready to
be an Airport Manager.
USDA Forest Service is ready to break ground the week of June 13, 2005. This stage of the project
includes the dirt work, drainage, foundations and the construction of a portable mixing plant parking
area with dike.
Our FAA Certification Inspector was here June 2, 2005 and conducted our annual inspection. There
was one discrepancy and it concerned the taxiway lights. More on this next month.
We are two weeks out from this years air show. It has the best line-up we have ever had. There are a
lot of things going on in our community that weekend but it should not affect our attendance.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:
We have attended several meetings involving the future transportation needs for NWA. The new I-
540 study makes significant improvements, but the price tag is a big one. We are also involved with
the discussions on light rail along the corridor. Our airport is a stop on the line. We are still working
the inter-modal system and want FMA, Drake Field to be a significant part.
FEDC "work-r-bees" met twice this month to discuss the projects in the City.

Agenda Item Number:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
TO: Mayor
THRU: Staff/Contract Review Co 'ttee
Airport Advisory Board
FROM: Ray M. Boudreaux, Director, Aviatio 6Economie Development
DATE: May 25, 2005
SUBJECT: Arkansas Aviation Technology Center Request for rent and utility relief
RECOMMENDATION: Airport staff fully supports the Arkansas Aviation Technology
Center at the Airport. The school currently occupies a large hangar that was specifically
modified for them with a combination of grants from the EDA and EIA plus City and airport
funds. They maintain a student load of approximately 45 students. Since Ozark Aircraft
Systems at XNA closed, they have found it more difficult to get students since there is no
longer a readily available employment opportunity in the area. We support the abatement
of rent and utilities but will find it very difficult to fund the abatement from the airport
budget. Recommend that the abatement be approved but that the airport fund be made
whole from other sources.
BACKGROUND: The AATC is attempting to receive accreditation through the Council
on Occupational Education (COE). This process requires the school to invest in many
educational improvements which include media services, staff training, facilities and
equipment maintenance and systems improvements, and requires further that the school
have a balanced budget. On the balance sheet, the standard requires an absence of loss or a
profit for a two year consecutive period prior to full accreditation. The agreement with the
Airport requires that the AATC pay rent of $4,500.00 a month and to cover the cost of their
utilities. In 2004, the school gave up one of its buildings in order to save money. (That
building is now leased to Phoenix Rising Aviation) Abatement of rent and utilities will
allow the school to invest in the accreditation effort. Accreditation results in credibility for
fund raising. As a 501 C (3) organization the school is eligible for tax deductible
contributions.
DISCUSSION: Accreditation is an essential step for the AATC. Accreditation allows the
school to participate in Federal Financial Aid programs for its students. The accreditation
status results in a participation agreement with US Department of Education. Without
accreditation, students and the school are prohibited from applying for any financial aid.
AATC currently holds pre-accreditation status -which allows the school to participate in the
financial aid programs. Pre-accreditation status is time limited, usually 3 years. They are
now in the final year of candidacy with COE but.did not have a balanced budget in the last

• budget year. With a balanced budget this year, they will be able to extend the accreditation
program through next year and receive their full accreditation mid 2007. Greater than 95%
of the students that attend AATC rely on Federal Financial Aid.
BUDGET EVIPACT: A reduction of $54,000.00 in airport revenue will very negatively
affect the airport budget. Utilities run between $16.000.00 and $18,000.00 annually. If
approved and the cost allocated to the airport budget, the total cost would be between
$70,000.00 and $72,000.00 annually.

Dear Mr, Boudreaux,
Arkansas Aviation Technologies Center is at a turning point in its development and faces new
Hausarn challenges that threaten our continued operation. Lower, but steady enrollments have taken their
toll as we seek to achieve accreditation and improve our relationship with the Community College
and Iligh Schools. Furthermore, we will work to take better advantage of our 501(cx3)
organization to improve our student programs, facilities, and equipment.
In order to achieve success in the coming years, I would like to very respectfully request abatement
of our rent, and assistance with our utilities for an indefinite period I stand ready to present any
information regarding the operation of our school that will assist in making a decision.
My sincere thanks for everything you and your staff have done.
