Rod called the engineer at KFI regarding adding strobe lights to the KFI tower. The strobe lights were taken out of their budget. They will paint the Tower and replace the guy wires. Rod suggested this Committee approve a resolution and send it to KFI, emphasizing the reduction in liability to KFI with the addition of strobe lights. This will be an item on the next agenda. Rod reported fuel sales for January and February at the Airport were 50,000 gallons with only one FBO reporting. There were 6,404 operations in February with an approximate 89,000 operations for the past 12 months. In the past five years, Fullerton Airport has steadily declined from 100,000 operations. This is a concern since the FAA uses number of operations as part of the criteria for supporting an Air Traffic Control Tower. Anything below 90,000 operations falls below the FAA rating for a Tower Airport. Rod reported the Airport Noise and Safety Committee had appointed Jeff Harris as their representative on this Committee. Rod announced that he is negotiating with the Truckee Airport Authority for the position of General Manager for the Airport District. Rod reviewed the ongoing projects on the Airport and gave a budget update. - AIRPORT SECURITY - Gate Card Revalidation
Rod said he has signed the agreement with the contractor and each gate should be updated in April. - ELECT NEW CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR
Winnie Houston opened discussion for the requirements for the Chair position. Also to be considered is the length of time for the Chair to serve (one year, one quarter, etc.). The Chair would need to have some knowledge of Roberts' Rules of Order. Gene Baker said he did not feel it was advisable to change Chairs at this time, since there might be a new Airport Manager. It was decided to postpone this to a future agenda.
NEW BUSINESS None. COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE None. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC None. NEXT AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING March 22, 2001, 7:30 p.m. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 7:48 p.m. |
