ITEM #1 : Welcome. Chairman Nickle.
ITEM #2 : Approval of the Airport Board Minutes of the March 8, 2012 Meeting.
A motion to approve the minutes was made by Rick Bailey and seconded by Bill
Corley. The motion carried.
ITEM #3 : Receiving of Reports.
A. Director Boudreaux, Aviation Director. Reported the first two months were the
best in two years. The Alarmtec people were here yesterday for the final inspection and
there were some problems. The City Council approved Pick It Construction for the
hangar rehab and said he will go to the State Aeronautics meeting on March 14a'
requesting a grant for the project. Mitch Nugent, FAA Approach Designer, said we
should be able to get the landing minimums down to 264 ft. Had a great merger meeting
with the two museums, the lease will be combined for the two museums.
B. Financial Coordinator, James Nicholson, Budget Report. The aircraft operations
are looking up. We have military operations almost daily. Fuel sales are up. Most local
airports increased their fuel price this last week. Peter Mastroianni said Million Air will
be starting a new campaign next week visiting military bases, and with Southern Landing
opening for lunch at the airport, that will be a huge benefit. The military can call in on
their final and have their meals ready when they get here. They won't have to leave the
airport to eat. Said they had been working with Southern Landing on catering requests
for charters and the military. James reported the Alarmtec's check is being held until the
problems are corrected on the security system. The Airport received $ 15,008 from the
State for the Wildlife Accessment Project. The grant matches and hangar rehab will take
the Cash Balance down to about $493,256.
C. Senior Secretary, Louise Powers, T-Hangar Report. Two small hangars are
available and one twin. Also, there will be several smaller ones coming open next month.
The last hangar we rented was for storage, not for an aircraft.
1
D. Wayne Jones, McClelland Engineers, Construction Report. Alarmtec was here
working on the security system yesterday, there were some problems and we will check
all again. There were five bidders for the hangar rehab project. The pre-construction
conference is scheduled for next Thursday. Director Boudreaux said the low bidder, Pick
It Construction is from Greenland and they have a plane based here. Pat Ross is a pilot
for them. Rick McKinney expressed concerns that with the new security system, the
level of service for the hangar tenants was going down, the new system will be an
inconvenience, that nobody had asked the tenants, and their clickers won't work.
Director Boudreau explained it was a Five Year Project and had been discussed at many
meetings, saying it was a FAA recommended project, but would be a requirement in the
future.
E. Museum Executive Director Warren Jones, Museum Report. Explained they
were working on the merger of the two museums. Within the next sixty days we will
have two planes on loan to the Air Museum until October. The same person is also going
to donate a plane. It is small, but breath-taking. The Aviators Ball has been moved to
October, a date not to conflict with any of the U of A ballgames. No events will be
scheduled in the Museum during June, July, or August, it is too hot. The EAA Young
Eagles program will be in Rogers in May and here in October. Director Boudreaux
thanked Rick McKinney. Rick had put them in touch with the group from the U of A
Law School that helps non-profit organizations. The U of A group is helping with the
museum merger.
ITEM 94 : Old Business.
A. Update: Strategic Planning Meeting on February 16'h. Chairman Nickle thanked
all that had attended the Strategic Planning Meeting. Many things were discussed,
particularly a tenant request, but a vote can not be taken at the Planning Meetings.
B. Visibility for Instrument Approach. Item was already discussed.
C. SkyVenture Request. Their rent reduction request was discussed at the Planning
Meeting. They pay rent on their office space, and rent on their hangar. Discussion
followed; SkyVenture didn't request a specific amount for rent reduction, of possibly
reducing office rent by $500 for six months, fairness of granting a reduction of rent-as the
Board just turned down Million Air's rent reduction request, looking at each request
individually-Million Air' s had already been reduced as they had just given up one of their
hangars reducing their rent payments, rent on Million Air and SkyVenture's hangar had
been reduced when the Airport refinanced the loan on two hangars, of not wanting to lose
SkyVenture as a tenant, they are a benefit the airport in many ways, they are a service to
the community, buying fuel, aircraft operations, their students sometimes buy a plane
from SkyVenture and base it here, having SkyVentue repay the amount the reduced
amount, reduction is not a loan-rent will increase in the future, would like the owners to
meet with the Airport Board.
A motion to reduce the rent by $500 for six months died for lack of a second.
Director Boudreaux said he had talked to Mark of SkyVenture yesterday and was told
their situation in Jonesboro may have changed. A hangar has become available in
Jonesboro so they may not be closing the Jonesboro location. He said there have been
2
some changes and that Mark be back and will be more involved with SkyVenture again.
Director Boudreaux introduced Adam Jones, an instructor, who is the manager for
SkyVenture. Janice Stanesic said doing something today would show good faith in
negotiating and keep the line of communication open. The Board appreciated the report
SkyVenture had provided, but would like to have had the owners attend the meeting.
A new motion was made by Mike Gibbs to reduce the rent for the office by $500 per
month for six months, and expect it to be paid back within the current lease period,
contingent on City Staff and City Council's approval. Bill Corley seconded the
motion.
Discussion followed: Terry Gulley suggested changing the lease with a Lease
Amendment, and others thinking some action today would show good faith; asked for
lease information on lease term - the current term began in September 2010 and would be
coming up for renewal in August 2012; it was suggested that perhaps SkyVenture wanted
to negotiate new terms then; what is the market value of the lease and rental space and
that the market value may have changed since the lease began; then it was decided to go
ahead with the motion and if needed, to look at it again next month.
The motion carried.
D. Update: Five Year CIP to the FAA. Director Boudreaux said a five year CIP plan
must be submitted to the FAA, but we don't expect any money from them for three years,
except entitlement money. The most important project would be to improve Taxiway
Bravo north; increasing it to 50 ft. wide and have it properly aligned. The Airport could
bank the entitlement funds for several years and save for a large project.
A motion was made by Rick Bailey to approve the FAA CIP plan and was seconded
by Josh Mahony. The motion carried.
E. Two Year Capital Projects to the City. Discussion followed about the items on the
list, whether the list actually committed the Airport to those projects, the Airport budget
is reviewed and approved each year, and CIP list is looked at every two years, and if
there would be a time to catch up on deferred maintenance.
A motion to approve the list was made by Mike Gibbs. Mr. Gibbs withdrew his
motion.
Projects were re-arranged by year, the obstruction removal planned for 2015 was moved
to 2014, constructing a hangar planned for 2014 was moved to 2015.
A motion made by Josh Mahony to approve the revised list and submit the list to the
City. Janice Stanesic seconded the motion. The motion carried.
ITEM #5: New Business.
A. Presentation: Bruce Dunn, Iron Pig Festival, April 7, 2012. Bruce Dunn
explained he owned All Sports Productions and it sponsors the Iron Pig Festival which is
a timed walk, run and bike (bicycle) race. Registration sets up in the parking lot in front
3
of the terminal. The runway that is closed for about one hour is used for the walk/run
part of the race. This is the fourth year of the event at the airport and the second year of
the (current Lease) Agreement. There were 375 participants last year and the event has
been featured in national publications because the runway is used as part of the event.
Stated they have participants that fly in for the race. Wayne Jones explained the airport is
required by the FAA to have a pavement maintenance plan so the race uses the runway
for part of their race during the time we have the runway closed for inspection. It is
closed for about one hour while he and the airport staff walk the runway looking for
cracks and any deterioration of the runway.
B. Renewal: McClelland Consulting Engineer's Contract Amendment #1 for two
years. Wayne Jones explained that in 2009 McClelland Engineers was selected by the
City to be the airport engineers for five years, with the initial period of three years.
McClelland is asking for the extension of two years. Chairman Nickle explained the
City put out an RFP for engineering services for the airport and McClelland Engineers
was selected. Discussion followed.
Mike Gibbs revised his motion to request approval of a contract amendment for a
one year extension and forward on to the City Council for approval. The motion
was seconded by Josh Mahony. The motion carried.
ITEM #6: Other Business.
A. Items from the Public. Director Boudreaux announced that Southern Landing will
begin serving lunch next week.
B. Items from the Airport Board. Mike Gibbs asked the status of Million Air's
payments. James Nicholson said, as of yesterday, Million Air had paid their lease
invoices through March, about $ 18,000. They still owe for their flowage fees for
December, January, and February, which is less than $ 10,000. Discussion followed with
Mike Gibbs suggesting that if they don't have a zero balance by the next meeting that the
airport seek other action for the FBO. He also asked for a list, at the next meeting, of
everyone that is behind in rent. James said that Sky Venture is also running behind in
rent payments. Mauro Campos reported he was sending some firemen to a live mobile
fire training at XNA Airport, saying this is a good thing, less expensive by not having to
send firemen out of town for the training. Director Boudreaux said Mark Mellenger,
Assistant Manager at XNA, had offered to let our firemen attend. Mauro Campos stated
the ARFF group would need new silvers (firemen safety suits) next year.

Mr. Ray Boudreaux
Fayetteville Municipal Airport,
Drake Field
4500 South School Avenue
Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701
Ray:
After much thought, discussion and prayer, SkyVenture Aviation, Inc. has made a very difficult decision. We announced the
closing of SkyVenture Aviation of Jonesboro, Inc. effective February 28, 2012. This was based on many factors and was not
an easy decision.
With the decline of new pilot start-ups, Mark and I both chose to seek outside employment last year. Mark is now full-time with
the Washington County Sheriffs Department and currently in their rigorous 12-week Academy Program. I am continuing to
develop and manage Commercial Real Estate in Jonesboro which also takes a large portion of my time.
We need to simplify our operation if we are going to succeed. The decision between Jonesboro and Fayetteville was tough
from both business and personal perspectives.
Pros for Jonesboro:
1 . Jonesboro is where SkyVenture began and it is my home which proved to be a tough emotional issue to overcome.
2. Our operating expenses in Jonesboro are much lower than Fayetteville which in this economy is a huge factor. The
numbers speak for themselves. Our rent is $4.00 per square foot and the quality of office space is comparable.
However, we have less square footage in Jonesboro. The rationale behind the rent was due to the nature of our
business. They realized that we were contributing to other services on the field.
3. We both have homes in Jonesboro.
4. The revenue/number of students flying in Jonesboro is comparable to our Fayetteville location.
Pros for Fayetteville:
1 . We do not have a maintenance facility in Jonesboro and outsourcing maintenance is not a viable option due to cost.
2. Mark is both co-owner and Chief Flight Instructor. With the majority of his time spent in Fayetteville, there was not
proper management in Jonesboro over the flight instructors leaving a huge liability for flight operations.
3. We have an excellent manager — Adam Jones — in Fayetteville who understands all aspects of the business and keeps
things running in our absence.
4. We are approved for SEVIS in Fayetteville and not in Jonesboro.
There were many other factors but you can see that we were weighing every option. The one thing that was not an option was
to keep both operations functioning. The cost of ferrying aircraft for maintenance was getting expensive and with revenue
continuing to decline in both locations, we have to get lean to survive.
(2/1612012 Ray Boudreaux - Letter to Fayetteville Airport Commission.docx Seite 3
Here are some of the numbers from our Fayetteville location last year:
1 . Aircraft Rental Income declined $35,000 from 2010 to 2011 .
2. Our Testing Center saw a decline by $2,000.
3. Our Pilot Supplies were down $9,000. Much of this is attributed to the automated charts pilots are now using as
opposed to paper charts. Paper charts are quickly becoming obsolete.
4. Our hope to build our outside maintenance business did not happen and at this point we have few regular outside
customers.
5. Our International Business seems to have slowed over the past 3 months. We currently have no customers from out of
the country.
The reason for this letter is to ask for your help. Although it is not the City of Fayetteville's responsibility to help with our
profitability issues, we very much want to make a success of this business at Drake Field. We are coming to you requesting a
reduction in our rent. After having our accountant and an outside consultant look at our books the first thing they saw was that
rent was disproportionate to our business. Between the hangar and office rent we are paying $5,000 a month - $2,000 for
office space and $3,000 for the hangar. Ideally a $1 ,000 reduction per month per facility would be our request. However, we
also understand that the city has to be profitable as well. We do not want to be unfair in our request but ask that any
consideration you can give as we reorganize our company would be a huge help.
Here are some of the measures we are taking to reduce our expenses as we wait for the economy to improve and hopefully for
general aviation to surge again!
1 . Neither Mark nor I are taking a salary from the company. We did not in 2011 and will not in 2012.
2. We are closing our Jonesboro location which will reduce many of the networking expenses with our servers.
3. We have 3 aircraft for sale at this time to become more efficient.
There are other items we are closely reviewing but want you to know we are doing our part and not just asking for your help.
We appreciate your consideration and support as we consolidate and move toward a leaner and hopefully more successful
and profitable company in 2012.
Warm Regards,

SECURITY OPERATIONS PLAN
MARCH, 2012
GENERAL: Fayetteville Executive Airport, Drake Field is a Part 139 Class
4 Airport capable of serving unscheduled passenger operations of large air
carrier aircraft. Except when serving Part 139 operations on a prior notice
basis, Drake Field operates as a general aviation airport.
PURPOSE: The purpose of the Security Operations Plan is to identify the
need and describe the methods and procedures employed to improve the
security posture of Fayetteville Executive Airport, Drake Field. This plan is
implemented with the newly installed Security System that includes
monitoring and access control by use of RFID Security Badges.
NEED : Over the years there have been incidents of unauthorized entry into
the AOA which resulted in hangars being entered without authorization.
Evidence has been found on the runway to indicate that persons/vehicles
have been on the runway without authorization. The most recent security
improvement project installed camera monitoring and access control through
the perimeter gates. This level of control is considered the minimum needed
to insure security of the City of Fayetteville assets and the assets of airport
customers thereby creating a safe environment for aircraft based on the
airport and operating to and from the airport.
DESCRIPTION: The Airport is secured with a perimeter fence around the
Airport Operating Area (AOA). Access into the AOA is controlled by three
vehicle gates and one man gate. Access can be gained through the Airport
Terminal Building and through some of the airport businesses on the West
side of the airport where the building straddles the perimeter fence line.

Entry into the AOA is allowed by the possession of a Security Badge issued
by the Airport Administration Office. The Security badge controls the
vehicle gates and the man gate with RFID data implanted into the card. For
those entering the AOA through the Terminal and/or the several businesses
on the perimeter of the AOA, the Security Badge must be prominently
displayed or if a visitor, under escort by a Security Badge holder IAW
Section 3, General Requirements of the Airport Minimum Standards.
The Airport Movement Area is that area under the control of the Aircraft
Control Tower and includes 500 feet perpendicular to and either side of the
runway centerline, 200 feet outward from each threshold and a 118 foot area
which encompasses each taxiway. Access into the movement area requires
contact with the Tower during hours of operation (0600-2200) or
announcement of intentions on CTAF when the Tower is not operating.
RIGHT OF ACCESS : In accordance with Section 2 of the Minimum
Standards, no entity, incorporated or otherwise, shall conduct any activity at
the Fayetteville Executive Airport, Drake Field, unless a valid agreement
authorizing such activity has been entered into between the entity and the
City of Fayetteville. (This does not apply to transient aircraft operations.)
The agreement will present the terms and conditions under which the
activity will be conducted at the airport, including but not limited to: term of
the agreement, rent charges, fees and other charges, and the rights and
obligations of the respective parties.
Entities, not tenants, employees or persons otherwise authorized access into
the AOA must apply for and enter into an agreement for the conduct of
business on the Airport to qualify for the issue of a Security Badge.
ISSUE OF CREDENTIALS : Airport Administration will issue Security
Badges that will allow entry into the AOA through the Gates and through
those hangars that span the AOA boundary. Criteria for granting access:
Tenant in good standing on the airport
Airport business employees
City of Fayetteville Fire and Police
Central EMS
Telecommunication Device for the Deaf TDD(479) 521-1316 113West Mountain - Fayetteville, FR 72701
4 .
Airport Employees
Airport Board Members
FBO employees
Museum employees
PROCEDURES : All tenants will be issued Security Badges by Airport
Administration. Access is granted for selected access points into the AOA.
Persons who fail to abide by the Airport Minimum Standards will have
access denied and the Security Badge will be deactivated. Persons wishing
to reactivate the Security Badge must request reactivation through the
Airport Administration office. For those to whom access is granted
compliance with the Airport Minimum Standards for escort of visitors into
the AOA is essential and required.
Should a Security Badge be lost, it is imperative that the badge holder report
the loss to the Airport Administration office so that the badge can be
deactivated. There will be a charge for replacement badges.
REMOTE OPENING: Remote opening devices may be available if there
is demand for such devices. Only those already issued a line badge will be
permitted to purchase a remote device. The devices are also programmed
into the Security system and assigned to an individual who remains
responsible for their use.

Airport looks to land private pilots
MONROE, La. — Monroe Regional Airport officials are
looking into ways to recapture some of the business from
general aviation it has lost through the years.
Interim airport Manager Ron Phillips told The News-
Star the airport has put together a public-private partner-
ship committee to develop a strategic plan for the airport
to increase hangar space and amenities for general avia-
tion pilots to increase airport revenue.
The city's current budget shows the airport has col-
lected just more than $21,000 through the sale of aviation
fuel from general aviation pilots. It collects approximately
$60,000 per year in hangar rent for general aviation air-
craft.
As of the city's last count about two months ago, there
were approximately 55 planes parked at the airport, Phil-
lips said. About 15 of the hangars are designated solely for
general aviation craft.
However, over the years, Monroe Regional Airport has
lost general aviation pilots who park their planes here.
Phillips said several noted the airport has lost about one-
third of the craft normally based here.
The loss was a result of the increase in hangar rent
charged by the local fixed-based operator JPS Aviation,
Phillips said. JPS leases most of the hangars from the air-
port and rents to general aviation pilots.
