Operations are up 13% over the first quarter of 2008 and statistically equal to the first quarter of 2007. Fuel sales were up again in March producing a nice upward trend. For the quarter the numbers are only slightly less than the first quarter of 2008 due to an exceptional February 2008. Over the last four years, the numbers are holding fairly consistent over the first quarter. The activity trend is up and that is a good thing. • THE RUNWAY END OBSTRUCTION SURVEY PROJECT: McClelland Consulting Engineers marked the first group of trees on the approach end of Runway 34 to be cut and will • mark the remainder in the coming weeks. The Maintenance crew will schedule the work before the trees fully leaf out this Spring. The remaining obstructions are on private property and we have started contacting the land owners for permission to remove the obstructions. • RUNWAY 16 RSA IMPROVEMENT PROJECT: We conducted the Public Hearing on the Project Environmental Assessment (EA) March 30, 2009. The meeting was very well attended. Many of the attendees were from Greenland and most from South of the Airport and West of Highway 71 . The study revealed no significant impacts except for the house on Bailey Drive. The residence will receive a noise increase of 13 decibels due to the realignment of the highway. We spoke to the owner and will meet with her and her family to determine the best course of action for her and the Airport. There are several alternatives to mitigate the noise impact to her property. The project is on schedule to bid by the end of the month so we could potentially turn dirt in June. The AIP grant is on track for funding in May. As soon as the EA is approved by FAA and the FONSI issued, we will begin meetings with the property owners for property acquisition. • CITY WIDE ENERGY SAVINGS INITIATIVE: Our portion of the City wide project is to seal the Terminal Building envelope and to install energy efficient lighting inside and out. The work should begin very soon. In an effort to do our part to conserve energy, we hired an HVAC consultant to design a project to repair/improve the control of the Terminal Building HVAC system. There are savings to be realized here as well. The first round of bids resulted in all bidders over the budgeted amount. The second round we got a good bid after increasing the budget. We applied for a State Aeronautics Grant for the project and received approval from the Commission for an 80/20 grant to help pay for the improvements. The City Council put the grant and the award on the consent agenda for their meeting April 7 ° so we should be able to award the • project April 8'". The contractor reports 45 days to complete the work. We must complete the project and disperse the funds before the end of June as the funding goes away at the end of the State fiscal year. The grant opportunity came when the State Legislature increased the Aeronautics appropriation by $4M. When you talk with our local legislators, please thank them. 4500 SOUTH SCHOOL AVENUE, SUITE F • AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING • FAYETTEVILLE AR 72701 479.718.7642 • 479.718.7646 FAX • www.aocessfayetteville.org/govemmenttaviabon airport-economic—development@ci.fayetteville.ar.us • REPAIR STATION PROSPECT: We continue to maintain contact with our clients. Their local CPA assures me that they will relocate their business to Drake Field in the very near future. He also reports that they just landed a new contract that they hope to complete in Fayetteville. We remain hopeful that we will soon fill the large hangar vacated by the Arkansas Aviation Technical Center almost two years ago. • A FARE TO REMEMBER: Paul and Jayn have landed a contract to feed the U of A Football Team every three weeks thrrough the end of the semester and will pick back up in the fall. The team likes their food, as do I. • AIRPORT BLOOD DRIVE: We continue to host the Community Blood Center for drives at the airport. The collections are continuing to increase. Our next drive will be on Friday, July loll. • NWACC AVIATION ADVISORY BOARD: Robin Pelton, State Coordinator of the Arkansas Aviation Alliance and I met with NTI to see if they would be interested in taking over the A & P school planned for closing this summer by the NWA Community College. She is concerned that aviation-specialties are not receiving the required emphasis in NWA. Several of the other A & P schools in the State are expanding. We are still searching for alternatives. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: (last quarterly report on economic development) • ECONOMIC SUMMIT: The Mayor held an economic summit over the last week of March through April 40'. The event was well attended by Citizens from. all persuasions. The last day • was devoted to formulating actions to achieve the goals established over the first three days. We participated in groups concerned with job creation and incentives available for new business electing to locate in our community. Great discussions and well thought out debate achieved a clear set of goals and action plans that should be part of the overall plan to be published for the community very shortly. It was a worthy exercise that produced very good results. • FAYETTEVILLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL: The FEDC Board voted to transition into Green Valley Development. Steve and Kathryn have agreed to continue to serve and plan to relocate their offices into the former Bank of America. Most of the projects are still well underway and several biggies are finally coming to a head. Green Valley Development will center on the sustainable future of Northwest Arkansas. The Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce will take the lead in Economic Development. • TAX BACK RESOLUTIONS: We are processing Tax Back Resolutions for Pacific Vet Group in Johnson and Arkansas Western Gas with the City of Fayetteville and Washington County.
