Airport Advisory Board Meeting
January 19, 1981
a
The Airport Advisory Board met in the airport manager's office on Monday, January 19, 1981.
The following were in attendance: Hayden Head, Chairman; Dick Bowers, Pauline Glasson,
Pete Corona, and Clarence Priour, board members; Douglas Matthews, Director of Public
Utilities; William D. Wilder, Airport Manager; and John Pinson, Assistant Airport Manager.
M . Head called the meeting to order at 3:30 p.m.
Mr. Bowers made the motion and seconded by Mr. Priour that the minutes of the previous
meeting be approved as written. The motion passed unanimously.
The five year capital improvement program was presented by Mr. Wilder. Item number 1,
the commercial ramp overlay, is 99 percent complete. It number 2, parking lot and access
road improvements, is about 75 percent complete. The purchase of parcel 14, its number 3,
should be completed this year. The appraisal work is nearly completed and federal funding
has been granted to purchase 80 acres of this tract. On item number 4, renovation of
gatehouse one and two, a work order has not been issued, but the contractor has been
instructed to order the equipment which should take approximately five months to receive.
Item number six is the general aviation ramp extensions. Lockwood, Andrews, and Newnam have
prepared preliminary design and cost estimates of $710,000. FAA will fund $438,000 and the
City can furnish $70,000 leaving a deficit of $202,000. Mr. Wilder explained that there are
several possibilities for eliminating this deficit, one would be to reduce the size of the
ramps or to reduce the cross section of DDT's ramp. Another alternative is to ask the FBWs
to pay the balance and reimburse them through their concession payments to the City.
Mt. Wilder pointed out t the City is contractually obligated to Van Dusen to construct
additional ramp space.
In the 1981-82 group, its 6 is phase I of the terminal building additions. Mr. Wilder and
Mr. Matthews have looked at Johnny Cotten's preliminary plans for these improvements and
the cost estimates are within the money allotted for this project. These plans include the
relocation of the baggage claim and car rental counters, and expansion of the present car
rental parking lot. It is anticipated that the final plans will be ready around the first
part of February and that construction will begin in June. Mr. Wilder reported that the
FAA real estate representative was receptive to the idea of the City purchasing some of the
FAA parking lot spaces. Its number 7, land purchase, should be completed in the 1981-82
time period. This project will purchase Parcels 6, 7a, 7 , 7c, 7d, 7e, 7 , 9, 20, and 11.
Item number 8, rent-a-car return lot, will be completed with its number 6, which calls
for expanding the present car rental lot to hold both ready and returned vehicles.
in the 1982-83 , its number 9 is for stub taxiways is will facilitate aircraft
exiting from runway 31 and 35. Its number 10 is has 11 of the terminal building improve-
merits which will expand the ticket wing to the west and construct additional gate and
holding areas. The commercial ramp extension, item number 11, will depend on whether a
finger will be built from the present concourse in a southerly direction.

In the 1.983-86 group, its number 12 is the northwest hangar site improvements. This
project will include extending taxiways to the west, building ramp, and installing
utilities to this site. The northeast taxiway, its number 13, will be constructed to
open the area north of drainage ditch number four. Enlarging the taxiway fillets, item
number 14, will be accoumplished during this time period to assist large aircraft in
turning on and off the runways. Itent number 15, runway 17 general aviation holding apron,
will be constructed to accomodate general aviation aircraft waiting to use this runway.
The standby generator and building, item number 16, will be constructed to service the
entire airport complex in case of power failure. Item number 17, groove runways, has
been requested by the Airlines Pilots Association, FAA, and the Airline Transport
Association. Taxiway C extension, item number 18, will be accomplished to take general
aviation traffic off the commercial ramp. The purchase of land, item number 19, will be
to acquire the land remaining for airport expansion; parcels 3, 4, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17,
and 18a, l8b, 18c, and 18d.
The board requested that Mr. Wilder contact Chaparral Aviation to find out what their plans
are for an additional hangar.
Mr. Bowers expressed his concern that the general aviation ramp extension project had been
deleted from the City Council agenda the previous week and asked if the City staff had
a time table set for this project. r® Matthews said that this project had been deleted
from the Council agenda because funds available for the 1980-81 capital improvement pro-
jects were approximately $300,000 under estimated costs. He said the staff is aware that
the City is contractually obligated to Van Duser for their ramp construction and said if
any projects had to be curtailed it would probably be Rayburn's ramp.
Mr. Bowers asked what determination had been made on the reconstruction of the entrance
road. Mr. Matthews answered that this reconstruction was deleted from the access road
project, but funds were being allocated in the 1980-81 capital improvement projects for
this work.
The meeting was adjourned at 4;10 p.m.
