Board.

Otto Loewer said a correction was needed in the minutes. The minutes stated he had
attended the last meeting, and he had not attended the January meeting.
A motion was made by Rick Bailey to approve the amended minutes and the motion
was seconded by Tim McCarley. The motion carried.
ITEM#3: Old Business.
A. Presentation: Bruce Dunn, Iron Pig Festival, Saturday, April 2"d. Bruce
explained this year will be the third year the multi-sport, run, walk, and bike, event has
been held at the Airport. Last year they had 150 participants with nearly 300 spectators.
He stated that USA Triathlon, the national governing body for the sport of triathlons and
duathlons, had recognized the Iron Pig Festival for the uniqueness of venue, and they
were awarded the 2011 USA Triathlon Arkansas Duathlon Championships. Also they
are being considered to host the South Mid-west Region's Duathlon Championships for
2012. He explained they use the runway that will be closed for one hour, but at the same
time it is closed for their event, the Airport Staff makes their annual runway inspection by
walking the runway. It starts at 9:00 a.m. Director Boudreaux said he closes he runway
for one hour while he, James Nicholson, and Wayne Jones check the runway for any
damage. Any Board Member that would like to take part in the runway inspection should
call him. The Festival is charged a fee of$500.00 per day. (Note for new Airport Board
Members: This event was approved by the Airport Board and the City's Contract Review
Committee in April 2010 for a one day event for the years 2011 through 2015.)
B. Update: Task Order#4, McClelland Engineers, Obstruction Removal Project.
Wayne Jones reported the Task Order was approved by the City Council this week.
C. The Construction Report by Wayne Jones was moved up to follow "B. Task
Order#4". The fencing has been installed, some old fence posts need to be pulled, some
1
r
f �l
i
top soil is needed around some of the fence, and we have a punch lisf,.of items. The area
fence for Mrs. Paschal is up, it has wire and steel posts behind the fence, so that a car will
not go through the fence. The Arkansas Highway Department has a few items they need
and we are making those changes in preparation of vacating the old Right of Way and
turning over the new highway to them. Work is continuing on the Airport Layout Plan
that will be submitted to the FAA. Wayne told David Hollman, he had enjoyed working
with him while he was on the Airport Board.
ITEM#4: Reports.
A. Director Boudreaux, Aviation Director. Director Boudreaux expressed his
appreciation to the Airport Board Members for their attendance at the City Council
Meeting last Tuesday night for the Airport Report to the Council. He recognized Nathan
Griffee, in attendance at today's Board Meeting. Nathan has applied for the Airport
Board position, the other applicant was not able to make the meeting today as he had
company business out of town. The open position is for the "pilot position" and is open
to qualified Fayetteville citizens to make application. The C-130 folks were here on the
ramp for media and public tours. They will be doing training exercises using our airport.
The one on display was one of the newer models and is quieter. Flight activity for the
month of January was down, but the fuel sales were not too bad due to military using the
airport. Said he had talked to Paul Bums, our FAA Project Manager, to let him know our
application for the Obstruction Removal grant would be on the way to him. The Board
Members were encouraged to contact their Congressmen about the money given to the
Arkansas Aeronautics Commission for airport grants.
B. Financial Coordinator James Nicholson, Budget Report. Reviewed the progress
charts and said this year we will also be tracking the FBO fuel sales. He commented that
all the area airports had raised their fuel prices since January. Speaking about the
Financial Report, he said all the Journal Entries have been entered in the system and we
ended up with $38,308 in revenues over expenses for last year. Year End Fund Balance
was $982,517, minus the set aside insurance fund received for the burned hangar for
hangar replacement, leaving about $620,000 in the Fund Balance. The City has been
under a hiring freeze and we have not been able to replace a maintenance worker, leaving
us with a two man maintenance crew, that job was not budgeted. Chairman Nickle said
that someday we will have to fill the maintenance position, as we will get too far behind,
we will have to go to the City Council requesting to hire someone. About twenty acres of
mowing has been added with the realignment of the Highway, and the new creek beds
will need to be kept clean. Chairman Nickle explained the Board had set a goal to keep
$500,000 in the Fund Balance, so we are still ahead. The City has not had to assist the
Airport with funding. What revenue the Airport makes is what is used to run the Airport.
The City does charge some Cost Allocations to the Airport for services different
departments provide for the Airport. Several years ago they were a lot higher and we
worked with the City for more justifiable Cost Allocation amounts for the Airport. Otto
Loewer explained there is price being paid that is not necessarily visible, is hidden, and
doesn't show up until an air conditioner or piece of equipment, goes out and has to be
replaced, not budgeting for unseen costs.
C. Senior Secretary Lou Powers, T-Hangar Report. One hangar is available and
someone is coming in after the Board Meeting to look at the hangar. A survey of area
airports this morning showed some airports with a waiting list for their hangars.

D. Museum Executive Director Warren Jones, Museum Report. The weather
presented a real problem with snow and ice melting and refreezing, causing a leak in their
Conference Room. He thanked the Airport's Maintenance crew for their help, and they
also did a marvelous job removing the snow from the runway. We will be meeting with
Washington County and the City's Fire and Police to work on what to do in case of a
tornado. The Museum has several events scheduled for this year. Said they are working
to bring the two museums under one operation, staffing both areas with volunteers, The
Aviators Ball will be on May 14'h.
ITEM#5: New Business.
A. Airport Board opening, filling David Hoffman's unexpired Pilot Term ending
December 31, 2013. Application deadline is February 28`h, at 5:00 p.m. in the City
Clerk's Office.
B. Review of Contract Tower Report. Director Boudreaux asked the Board to take
home and review the Contract Tower Report from the agenda. That report was prepared
by the business that helped the Airport negotiate the Contract Tower contract. FYV is
shown on page 5. Currently we are not being charged a fee, but asked them to notice the
numbers for us, and for Springdale, they are paying a Cost Share. This report will be
discussed at the next month's meeting.
C. Request approval of the Letter of Agreement with the 19th Air Lift Wing, Little
Rock. They will be using the Airport two or three times a week. Their operations will
not interfere with normal airport traffic. Their weight restriction is 130,000 lbs, to not
damage the pavement. The Mayor's signature is not required only the Airport Director's
signature is required on the Letter of Agreement. Rick Bailey reported the training wing
is based out of Little Rock and they are the training facility for C-130 pilots and crews in
the U.S. They like our airport because we have hills surrounding the airport.
A motion was made by Rick Bailey to approve the Letter of Agreement with the 191h
Air Lift Wing in Little Rock and the motion was seconded by Mike Gibbs. The
motion carried
ITEM#6: Other Business.
A. Items from the Public. Mario Campos said there would be a lot of traffic on the east
side tomorrow, firemen using the Training Room.
B. Items from the Airport Board. Director Boudreaux said he had heard a lot of
positive comments from the east side tenants regarding the newly painted restrooms.
MEETING ADJOURNED at 2:40 p.m.

MONTHLY REPORT
Aviation Department
Fayetteville, Arkansas
For the Month of February, 2011
• AIRPORT BOARD MEMBER VACANCY: Interviews have been scheduled for March 9, 2011.
We will not know who has been appointed to fill the position until the March 15th City Council
Meeting. Brenda and I will be out of the country for the meeting, so when you hear, please call and
congratulate him.
• AIRPORT BOARD REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL: We made our presentation to the
Council February 15th and it was well received. Thanks to all that were able to attend and to James
for taking care of the power point portion of the presentation.
• ACTIVITY: Wow! I didn't think it could get any slower but with two weeks of snow, big snow,
operations were the lowest in history! Fuel sales were no better. There were 1320 operations and
Million Air sold 20,909 gallons of fuel, the lowest monthly total in their history at Drake. In fact our
self serve sales were the lowest since the refueling station was installed. Our maintenance crew with
help from the administration staff worked tirelessly to remove the snow, but the weather the first two
weeks of the month was not suitable for flying. Two months does not a year make but things are
looking bad for 2011 thus far.
• RUNWAY 16 RSA IMPROVEMENT PROJECT: Weather has kept the crews away. We need
some dry weather to finish up. I have promises that as soon as the weather clears, they will take care
of the punch list items so we can close the project.
• RUNWAY OBSTRUCTION REMOVAL PROJECT: The City Council approved the project but
the FAA did not. Our new program manager wants the obstructions to be "airspaced" to determine
whether or not they are hazards to flight before they can participate in the removal. Since the
obstructions are in the runway centerline approach path, there is no approach over that terrain. Our
approach from the south is offset to the west to avoid the mountains and align the approach into the
valley. If"airspaced," the obstructions would not be a hazard to flight as there is no approach there.
To get the LPV approach, which aligns with the runway centerline the obstructions must be removed.
We are working the issue.
• AIRPORT BLOOD DRIVE: The next bloodmobile visit is scheduled for May 6, 2011. Call Lou
for more information and to arrange an appointment time. Thank you to all that have donated and
those who have tried. Spread the word and bring a friend next time.
• T HANGAR FOR RENT: We still have two smallT Hangars empty. We are still offering one
month free for a 1 year lease for an aircraft. We will rent for storage with the understanding that if
we fill up and need the unit for aircraft, storage tenants will be asked to move out. Last in first out.
Spread the word that space is available at Drake.
Telecommunications Device for the Deaf TDD(479)S21=1316"" 113 West h1ountain-Fayetteville,AR 72701
• WILDLIFE HAZARD ASSESSMENT: Loomacres Wildlife Management continues to do their
work and they are about half way through their survey. They made presentation to the Board in
December on their progress and, no surprise we have a wide variety of wildlife on our airport and in
the vicinity.
• ARKANSAS AIR MUSEUM AVIATOR BALL: The Aviator Ball will be held May 14`h at the
Museum. Mark your calendars and plan to support our museum. It will be a fun event that we hope
will be an annual affair. This year marks the l00`h anniversary of flight in Fayetteville.
• T HANGAR SAFETY: Winter is hard on the T hangar doors. We had another door failure this
month. Remember to use care when opening the doors and watch them closely. If the rollers on the
bottom of the door fall out of the groove, stop the door and give us a call. We can fix it on the spot
during normal operating hours and in an emergency within an hour or so anytime, day or night. Also,
please turn off the lights when you leave.
• DRAKE FIELD ON FACEBOOK: We now have more than 124 friends on Facebook. Be sure
when you check out our page to click "like" so that you continue to get new posts. Check out:

Decline of Aircraft Operations at FCTs slows to 1.8 percent in CY 2010
Data from the FAA's Air Traffic Activity Data System (ATADS) indicates that aircraft
operations among the 246 federal contract tower(FCT)locations dropped only 1.8 percent
overall between CY 2009-2010. The decline is much less than the previous period,CY 2008-
2009 where traffic decreased 8.9 percent. The accompanying tables present comparative
data for airports in the Federal Contract Tower Program.
For many airports,local operations(aircraft staying in the local traffic pattern)represented
the largest decline among the various operations classifications,averaging 4.8 percent less
than 2009. In 2010, Contract Towers handled nearly 14 million operations, 27 percent of
all aircraft operations at airports with air traffic control towers.
Phoenix/Williams Gateway Airport (IWA) replaced Chandler Municpal Airport as the
busiest FCT in the program with 177,874 total annual operations. Two new air traffic
control tower facilities were opened and added to the FCT program in 2010. Ocala
International (FL)Airport(OCF)*opened in May 2010. Almost simultaneously,Northwest
Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP).opened as a replacement airport for Panama
City International Airport (PFN).
