Agenda summary- 08 April 2004
a. Environmental Assessment: The final preliminary draft report has been reviewed by the
Federal Aviation Administration. Mark Schenkelberg, the FAA Environmental Officer,
was contacted on March 29 to discuss a completion schedule. He has sent comments to
H.R. Green to be incorporated into the report. A public hearing will be scheduled.
Comments from the hearing will be included in the report and, if there are no significant
objections, a FONSI can be issued to complete the project. Someone from H.R. Green
will be invited to the meeting to make a report.
b. Obstruction mitigation project: A construction plan has been designed for mitigating
the obstructions. This will be an agenda item until the project is completed.
C. Aviation Commerce Park: At the March meeting, the Commission voted to recommend
to the Council to sign a 90-day agreement with Iowa Realty to market the Aviation
Commerce Park. The ACP real estate listing will be a three-way agreement between
Iowa Realty, the Airport Commission and the City Council. This is scheduled for the
Council meeting of April 60'. An updated appraisal has been ordered.
d. Runway 07 project: O'Neil met with Earth Tech in January and has negotiated a
contract for consultant fees for Phase I of the project. The agreement has been reviewed
by the City Attorney's office and sent to the FAA for review as to the amount of the fees
and the form of contract. The agreement will be contingent on receiving a grant for the
project. The FAA has recommended the agreement not be signed until the
Environmental Assessment has been completed to make sure the Scope of Services for
the project matches the recommendations from the EA.
e. Strategy/business plan: At the March meeting, the Commission discussed how to
proceed with the plan. The Commission will bring a list of potential facilitators and a list
of possible "stakeholders" to the next meeting. The Commission expressed a desire to
proceed quickly with developing the plan. Chairperson Hartwig has sent a letter to the
Council updating them on the Commission's intentions.
E FY 2005 budget: At their public hearing for the FY 2005 budget, the Council mandated
that the Commission reduce their budget by $10,000. The Commission will discuss the
FY 2005 budget. A copy of the budget passed by the Council was sent to the
Commission on March 25.

THURSDAY MARCH 11, 2004 — 5:45 P.M.
IOWA CITY AIRPORT TERMINAL
MEMBERS PRESENT: Randy Hartwig, Daniel Clay, John Staley, Carl Williams
STAFF PRESENT: Sue Dulek, Ron O'Neil
CALL TO ORDER:
Vice -chairperson Hartwig called the meeting to order at 5:45 p.m.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The minutes of the February 12 and February 20, 2004, Commission meetings were approved
with some minor changes.
REVIEW OF EXPENDITURES:
O'Neil reviewed the check requests for March with the Commission. Hartwig asked about the bill
for the 100LL tank. O'Neil said the main filters for the 12,000-gallon tank are normally changed
annually.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION — ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA:
No items were presented.
UNFINISHED ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
No items were presented.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
a. Bid opening, roof project, Bldgs. B & C — Darren Sellers, from H.R. Green, was present to
review the bids and make a recommendation to the Commission. The Commission received
one bid. The engineer's estimate was about $48,000 per building. O'Neil said the grant was
for a maximum of $50,000, and required a local match of 30%. The total funds available for
the project would be $72,500. O'Neil said that if the bid was too high to do both buildings,
one building and some hard surfaced floors could be done with the grant and another grant
would be applied for to renovate the other building.
Sellers read the bid. For bid item # 1, hangar building B, the bid was $ 74, 425 and bid item
42, hangar building C, was $ 83,600. Clay asked why Sellers thought the bid was so high?
Sellers said he wasn't sure. He said the contractor might have a lot of work already. He said
with only one bid, it is difficult to tell. Sellers said he was surprised there was only one bid.
He said two other contractors had expressed interest.
Hartwig asked how soon something had to be done with the roofs? O'Neil said there were
no major leaks. The reason they were doing the project was because the buildings were 35
years old, starting to need additional maintenance and a grant for 70% of the project was
available through the Iowa Department of Transportation.
Sellers said they have been getting good bids on projects. He said he needs to call the
contractor and see why the bid was so much higher than the estimate. Staley asked how
many contractors there are in the area that can do the job? Sellers said most roofers would
tell you they can do the job, but he would be hesitant to hire just anyone.
Hartwig asked what the timeframe was for going out to bid again? O'Neil said he could
advertise again and have bids for the April or May meeting. Sellers said he needs to find out
Why his estimate is so low. Staley asked if there were any elements that could be listed as
alternates to reduce the bid price? Sellers said he had done that by listing each building
separately.
Sellers recommended giving him an opportunity to contact the contractors to see if he needs
to revise his estimate. O'Neil said he did not think the Commission could afford to accept
the bid. He said if lower bids were not received when the Commission bid the project again,
they would have to return the $ 50,000 grant. Clay made a motion to reject the bid.
Williams seconded the motion and it passed 4 — 0.
Sellers will discuss the project with O'Neil after he has talked to the contractor. He said if it
is bid again, he will try to get more contractors to bid. Clay asked O'Neil about a leaky roof
on another building. O'Neil said since that was not on the agenda, he would talk to Clay
after the meeting.
b. Environmental Assessment project — O'Neil said he had circulated a memo to the
Commission updating them on the project. The draft report is at the FAA in Kansas City.
There are some public notice timeframes that needed to be followed and those time periods
for comments from various state and federal agencies are running now.
c. Aviation Commerce Park (ACP) — (Because of a possible conflict of interest, Williams
said he would not take part in the discussion.) Scott Byers, from Iowa Realty, requested to
address the Commission. Byers said Iowa Realty has represented the Aviation Commerce
Park for over a year. He said a past Commission agreed to extend the leasing part of the
agreement. But there are three parties that have to enter into the agreement, Iowa Realty, the
Commission and the City Council. He said the listing would be a high priority for his firm.
He said they would like to transition new people into the assignment. He said he would like
to suggest a 90-day agreement. If the Council and Commission were comfortable with the
direction things were going, a longer agreement could be signed.
Clay asked if the agreement was for leasing or selling? Byers said it was for both, but the
lease option did not seem very feasible. Buyers said he likes the project and thinks it is a
good location. He thinks it would be a good area for warehousing, general contractors and
light distribution. Clay asked if there was a change in marketing strategy? Buyers said
having new people would offer additional ideas. He said they would see if there are any
contractors or local developers that would be interested in the property. There may have to
be some creative flexibility in marketing the property.
O'Neil said he would recommend the Commission come to a consensus on what they wanted
to do and forward that as a recommendation to the Council. There is not a current agreement
with anyone to market the property. O'Neil said the Commission could sign another
agreement with Iowa Realty or readvertise for another realtor.
Staley made a motion to send a recommendation to the Council for a 90-day agreement with
Iowa Realty to market the Aviation Commerce Park. After 60 days, the Commission will
review the progress to see if a recommendation for a longer agreement should be negotiated.
Clay seconded the motion. During discussion, Clay asked Byers if he thought 90 days was
enough time to show the Commission they should have a longer agreement? Byers said he
thought it was and they would be very aggressive in their marketing during those three
months. Clay asked Byers if he could produce an executive summary of a marketing plan to
help Clay understand what Iowa Realty planned to accomplish. Byers said he would provide
that. Hartwig call for the vote and the motion passed 3 — 0, with Williams abstaining.
O'Neil said that on the chance the Commission wanted to go out for proposals, he contacted
the Library to see if they had developed an RFP for their new commercial space. They did
not put together an RFP. They sent letters to realtors that they thought would be interested in
their project and selected from the responses which companies they wanted to interview.
O'Neil said he would work with Cook Appraisals to update the appraisal on the property.
d. Runway 07 project — Earth Tech O'Neil said he left that on the agenda, in case there was
some last minute action for the Commission to take. The FAA recommended not signing a
contact until the EA is completed.
e. Obstruction mitigation project- O'Neil said Stanley Consultants had sent a summary of the
project for the Commission. O'Neil reminded the Commission this was a State grant and
there will not be enough money to reduce all of the obstructions. Hartwig asked if there has
been an obstruction mitigation project in the past? O'Neil said there has not been a project
that addressed all of the obstructions. O'Neil said the Building Department is more aware of
what is required for air space studies than in the past and there is less likelihood than in the
past that a building permit would be issued without an airspace study being conducted first.
f. Strategic planning — Hartwig said this is on the agenda as a reminder that the Commission
needs to continue to move ahead to develop a plan. He said he personally believes it is
important for the Airport to have a plan. He thinks a subcommittee should meet before the
next meeting to narrow the list of items for the Commission to discuss. Dennis Gordon,
from Gordon Aircraft, said he would be willing to help as a representative of tenants on the
Airport. He said other tenants and volunteers should be involved.
Staley said the information O'Neil gave the Commission at the last meeting would be a good
guide for moving forward with the project. He said it points out the advantages of having a
facilitator to help get things started. Gordon said he thinks there are facilitators available. He
said there are some pilots on the Airport that could facilitate the project. Staley asked O'Neil
if there was any money for a facilitator? O'Neil said the Commission did not have any
money budgeted. Clay said there would be some merit in having someone that is not
connected with the Airport moderate the discussion.
Clay said he thinks the plan will be the most important thing the Commission does over the
next couple of years. It will be used for planning and public relations with the Council and
the people of Iowa City. Clay said he likes of idea of starting with a task force and
subcommittee. He questioned who the other participants should be.
O'Neil said the most difficult and time-consuming part of the project is the initial
information gathering meetings. He said you need to start with a group of about 20 people
and a list of basic ideas. The main group breaks into smaller groups, a subject is discussed
and then the facilitator is responsible for combining the ideas of each group. You then move
on to the next subject. This takes a lot of time. O'Neil said it is important to invite a list of
all the community "players" that have an interest in making the Airport successful. The
airport is much larger than the tenants of the Airport.
After something is drafted, it is taken out for public comment. After that, you have another
refinement period. This all takes time. O'Neil suggested constructing a timeline with a
target date for the project. O'Neil said that not only should the Commission have a timeline
for the Strategic Plan, but also for the recommendations from the ABS report. He said it has
been unfairly reported that the Commission hasn't and isn't going to do anything with the
report. He said that is simply not true. The Commission went through the entire report,
addressed all of the recommendations and commented on what the intentions were for the
actionable suggestions. He said the actionable items should be prioritized.
O'Neil said he would review the Commission's comments and have a schedule for them at
the next meeting. Staley said the Commission should be thinking about who the
stakeholders are in this project. Clay said there should be involvement from someone with
marketing experience and someone with experience in media relations. He said it is obvious
that the media is presenting a limited view and it does not necessarily reflect the views of the
Commission. Staley said it is important to contact the City Manager and ask him what City
staff he thinks it would be helpful to include on the task force.
Clay said that in the next couple of weeks, the Commission members could send O'Neil a
list of whom they think should be included in the list of stakeholders. This would help the
Commission decide how they would want to break down the tasks of constructing the plan.
O'Neil said Thrower compiled a list of people ABS was supposed to contact for their report.
O'Neil said he doesn't know how many they contacted, but it would be a good list to start
with. O'Neil said he would suggest having the initial meeting with the facilitator before the
summer months because it is more difficult to get people to participate during the summer.
Clay asked it the Commission should meet again before their next regular meeting to
expedite the process? Staley said that by the next meeting, the Commission should have an
idea of the makeup of the group they would like to have participate. At the April meeting,
the Commission should decide when they want have their initial meeting with the facilitated
group. O'Neil said he is meeting with Atkins tomorrow and O'Neil will discuss the idea of a
facilitator with him. He reminded the Commission that the City Manager advocated having
a facilitated group instead of hiring ABS. O'Neil said he thought Atkins would still be in
favor of having a facilitator. Clay and Staley said the Commission should be looking a
facilitator.
O'Neil said the initial meeting should be scheduled for about 4 hours. He said he thought
the facilitator would be important for the first two or three meetings. After the raw data is
collected, it will be up to the Commission to take the lead in completing the project. Gordon
said there should be one person responsible for moving the group forward with the project.
That could be the Commission chairperson or the Airport Manager. Hartwig suggested that
the Airport Manager direct the project. Clay said he would like to see the Commission
members develop their list of task force members and list of potential facilitators to discuss
at the next meeting.
Staley asked if the recommendations from ABS were prioritized? O'Neil said the list was in the
Commission's packet and he suggested looking through the list and prioritizing the suggestions.
He said if the Commission members would send their prioritized list to him, he will have it for
the Commission at their next meeting.
g. State AIP and Vertical Infrastructure grant applications — O'Neil said there was a list of
grant eligible projects in the Commission packet O'Neil said he met with some State
legislators on March 9 and they did not seem optimistic that funds would be appropriated for
the State AIP fund. The application is for projects if money is appropriated. O'Neil said
there are three projects he would suggest applying for.
One is to move the ASOS equipment from the south part of the field to a more central
location. This equipment will have to be moved before Mormon Trek is completed across
the south border of the Airport. If a grant can not be secured, it will have to be included as
part of the Public Works project. Another project is to move the VASI lights from Runway
18 to Runway 30. O'Neil said the VASI lights and the ASOS are FAA facilities and even if
a grant is offered, the FAA will need to approve moving the equipment. The third project is
to replace some of the signs on the airside of the Airport.
In the Vertical Infrastructure grant, O'Neil suggested applying for funds to rehab another
hangar building roof. O'Neil said the bid just received for Building B was too high to
accept, but H.R- Green will see if there is some way to change the specifications to fit within
the budgeted amount.
Clay asked if there were any plans to replace the asphalt around the north t-hangars? O'Neil
said that area and the tie down ramp were the worst surface areas on the Airport. He said
replacing the asphalt around the hangars is not eligible for a grant. It would be a local cost.
Clay made a motion for a resolution to support the Alp grant application. Hartwig seconded
the motion and at roll call vote, the motion passed 4 — 0.
Staley made a motion for a resolution to support the Vertical Infrastructure application.
Williams seconded the motion and at roll call vote, the motion passed 4 — 0.
h. FY 2005 budget revision - Hartwig said he would suggest O'Neil identify some items for
the Commission to discuss. O'Neil said he would review what he understood had happened
to the budget. The City Council held their public hearing for the City budget. After the
hearing, a motion was made by a Council member to reduce the budget by $ 10,000. The
motion passed. O'Neil said the Commission worked as hard on this budget as any that he
could remember, knowing that the City budget in general was going to be difficult to
balance. Even though there are increases beyond the Commission's control, such as
electricity, sewer, water, etc., the Commission still reduced the budget by 8%. O'Neil said
it would be difficult to reduce the budget by $ 10,000. There is no projects to eliminate.
Small amounts will have to be taken from several line items.
Clay asked if, other than the comment they wanted to send a message, did the Council object
to something in the budget or think the Commission was spending money frivolously?
O'Neil said he was not at the budget hearing, but it was his understanding that a statement
was made that the action was taken to "send a massage". Clay asked if the Council could cut
the budget without notifying them they were going to take that action? Dulek said they were
dealing with the budget in general and could discuss any department's budget.
O'Neil explained the budget process to the Commission. He said the Commission receives a
proposed budget from Finance in October. They review and revise the budget and it is
returned to Finance. O'Neil said he meets with the Finance Director and City Manager to
review the submitted budget. They may recommend some changes before it is sent to the
Council. In January, the Council holds a budget meeting for boards and commissions.
O'Neil said he attended the meeting and there was no suggestion that the Council wanted
additional reductions. O'Neil said it is unusual that a Council would change the budget after
the boards and Commissions meeting, without any additional discussion with the
Commission.
Jack Young said he was at the meeting and the motion was made to reduce the budget to
send the message that the Council was unhappy that none of the recommendations from the
ABS report had been acted on yet. The Council member that made the motion wanted to
give the money to Parks and Recreation. They decided this would take another motion. It
was a unanimous vote to reduce the Airport budget by $10,000. Clay said they might have
been unhappy that they perceived the Commission was not doing anything with the report,
although the Commission has started action on some of the recommendations. Williams
asked if the Commission would want to meet with the Council to discuss the budget with
them?
O'Neil said he would review the budget again to see where the budget can be reduced. He
said it would more than likely have to come from several line items, such as reducing the
amount budgeted for natural gas and hope we have a mild winter. He said there is a small
capital project, but it is not enough to cover the entire amount. It is a project that has been in
the budget for the last several years and removed every year. The asphalt sealing has been
deferred every year and the asphalt is now near a point where it needs to be replaced.
Clay said one of the things in the ABS report was a recommendation to improve direct
communications between the Council and the Commission. Cutting the budget to send a
message is not improving direct communications. This is a new Commission and there is an
opportunity to establish a more positive working relationship. He said he is disappointed the
Council chose this way to communicate instead of more positive communication. He said it
leaves him with some confusion on how the Council wants to communicate.
Williams said that for the Council to arbitrarily cut $10,000 without knowing how that will
affect the budget makes it difficult for the Commission. Clay said there was no direction
from the Council that the budget was high. Staley asked for the budget to be sent to the
Commission before the next meeting so they could review it and make suggestions. O'Neil
said he has not received notification that there was to be a cut, but that he has already started
to look for ways to reduce the budget or increase the revenues.
O'Neil said that when the Commission hued ABS, one of the main objectives was for ABS
to use their nation-wide experience to suggest additional revenue sources for the Airport.
There is nothing in the report that the Commission had not discussed before they hired ABS.
Clay asked about renegotiating the FBO lease? O'Neil said he discussed reopening the lease
with Jet Air and they were not interested. O'Neil said he is somewhat puzzled why ABS
would even suggest that. From a practical standpoint, why would a company reopen lease
negotiations, knowing that the Commission's intention was to try to increase the rent?
The Finance Department is installing a new accounting system and O'Neil will attend training on
how to access the various reports through the City's Intranet system.
SET NEXT MEETING:
The next regular Airport Commission meeting is scheduled for April 8, 2004,at 5:45 p.m.

Draft Environmental Assessment
Iowa City Municipal Airport
I have the following comments on the draft environmental assessment:
1) Page 1. There appears to be confusion over my comments on the proposed federal
action. See Chapter 3 of FAA Order 5050.4A for specific details. Typically, the EA
will state that the airport sponsor is requesting federal environmental approval for the
development analyzed in the EA. In this case, it is the developments as described in
paragraph 2.2.1 and paragraph 2.2.1.5.
2) Page 4 and Section 4(f) Evaluation. Alternatives typically are eliminated from
consideration because they are not prudent or feasible or because of environmental
impacts. Several of the alternatives were eliminated due to high costs that make them
not prudent.
3) Page 6. Paragraph 2.1.6. It should be noted that this alternative fails to meet the stated
purpose and need.
4) Page 7. The Old United Hangar also is in the Runway Object Free Area that is required
to be kept free of all above ground objects.
5) Page 13. Paragraph 2.2.2. It should be noted that the no action alternative fails to meet
the stated purpose and need but is further analyzed in accordance with FAA Order
5050.4A.
6) Figures 12 and 13. Provide the year or the conditions for the contours. Generally, this
would be stated as year 2020 or long-range condition.
7) Page 31. The sponsor needs to provide a compatible land use assurance letter per Section
511(a)(5) of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982. This is typically
provided in an Appendix and referenced in the Compatible Land Use Section.
8) Page 33. Environmental Justice needs to be addressed as part of Social Impacts or as a
stand-alone environmental consequence category.
9) Page 49. Chapter 6.0. Cover Page and elsewhere should read Section 4(f) Evaluation not
Statement.
10) Page 49. The Section 4(f) Evaluation should provide enough detail of the projects to let
the reader know what is being proposed instead of just referring the reader to Chapter
Two. It can be stated that a detailed description is available in Chapter Two.
11) Appendix A needs to be eliminated, as obstruction removal is no longer part of this EA.
After incorporation of the comments, the public involvement process may be started.
If you want to discuss these comments, please contact me at 816-329-2645.

Dear Mr. ONeil:
Subject: Iowa City Airport Obstruction Mitigation
Tree Removal and Obstruction Lighting
Bidding Procedures and Contract Document Information
Your instructions are requested concerning the provisions about bonds and insurance coverage that are to
be incorporated in the constriction Contract for the above Project. Enclosed you will find copies of the
following:
• Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract (EJCDC No. C-700, 2002 Edition)
("General Conditions"). Your attention is directed particularly to Article 5 that deals with bonds
and insurance and Article 16 that deals with Dispute Resolution.
• Proposed Instructions to Bidders ("Instructions") which deals with bonds and insurance.
• Proposed Supplementary Conditions which deals with bonds insurance and dispute resolution.
• "Owner's Instructions to Engineer Concerning Bonds and Insurance for Construction" form letter.
• Forms of Bid Bond (2), Construction Performance Bond and Construction Payment Bond which
have been endorsed by the EJCDC and other professional societies and which we propose
including in the Bidding Documents.
The language proposed for inclusion in the Supplementary Conditions and Instructions is based on the
standard language contained in the EJCDC's Guide to the Preparation of Supplementary Conditions
(EJCDC No. C-800, 2002 Edition) and Guide to the Preparation of Instructions to Bidders (No. C-200,
2002 Edition), both of which are carefully interrelated with the General Conditions.
The General Conditions and proposed Supplementary Conditions have been prepared on the assumption
that the Contractor will provide liability insurance and the Owner will provide property insurance for this
Project. This is the customary way to handle the coverages, but you may prefer another arrangement for
this Project. For example, you may want the Contractor also to provide the property insurance. If this is
the case, significant changes in the language relating to property insurance in the General Conditions,
Supplementary Conditions and Instructions to Bidders will be required. See Paragraph SC-5.06 of Guide
to Preparation of Supplementary Conditions enclosed.

You will note also that Paragraph 5.01 of the General Conditions requires a Contractor to obtain
performance and payment bonds each in an amount at least equal to the Contract Price. Paragraph 1.08 of
the Instructions to Bidders requires each Contractor to provide Bid Security equal to 5-10 percent of its
maximum Bid price.
When deciding on the types and amounts of coverage and assigning responsibility for providing the same,
it is strongly recommended that the advice of an experienced insurance counselor be obtained to avoid the
potential of later incurring an uninsured loss or one for which there is not adequate insurance protection.
The enclosed language is only an example to illustrate how to deal with the requirements as to bonding
and insurance provisions.
The discussions of coverages contained in the enclosed copy of Paragraphs SC-5.01 through 5.10 of the
Guide to the Preparation of Supplementary Conditions may prove helpful as general background, but are
not intended as a substitute for qualified insurance advice with respect to this Project.
Before finalizing the Construction Documents, we need your instructions. if you decide to follow the
usual approach as reflected in the printed General Conditions, you may find it helpful in communicating
your instructions to its to use the printed Form of Owners Instructions to Engineer Concerning Bonds and
Insurance Regarding Construction which is enclosed. This is closely related to Article 5 of the General
Conditions as now written and is necessary for our completion of the Supplementary Conditions.
If you have any particular insurance requirements for this Project or you wish an insurance arrangement
different from that contemplated by the General Conditions, please indicate not only the types and
amounts of coverage desired, but also how the standard language should be modified, giving specific
wording for our guidance in each instance.
Please contact us if you wish to discuss this matter. To maintain project schedules we need to have your
response not later than April 12, 2004. Upon receipt of your response to this request, we will integrate the
information furnished with the otter information in the Contract Documents.

Item. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign and the City Clerk to attest to
an agreement with Iowa Realty Commercial to sell and/or lease 17 commercial lots
in the Airport's Aviation Commerce Park.
This agreement provides for a 90-day agreement for services with Iowa Realty
Commercial to sell or lease lots in the subdivision known as the Aviation Commerce
Park. The agreement provides criteria for leasing and/or selling the parcels. This is a
joint agreement between the Airport Commission, Iowa Realty and the Council. At their
March 11, 2004 meeting, the Commission voted to recommend approval of the 90-day
agreement, with the terms being the same as the original Iowa Realty agreement.

In fact, by portraying the last Airport Commission meeting as an Guest Opinion
5UPERSFed
"attempt by the commission to maintain control" in the face of
recommendations to the contrary, the Press -Citizen has twisted the facts 180 degrees away from
career"
reality:
• Airport Business Solutions' report clearly states that the current Airport Commission is essential
builder
and should continue unchanged.
f 1' �, • The suggestion to downgrade the commission to advisory board status came from a member of
the volunteer airport commission itself - not from the city. When no other commissioner would
second the motion, it simply died on the table - hardly a power grab by the commission.
�UfiR1eI115 [IXII- • Contrary to the editorial and articles, neither the city, nor Airport Business Solutions, ever has
suggested the elimination of an independent Airport Commission.
• Now let's talk about some of the other recommendations that Airport Business Solutions has made
- none of which are being acted on by the city. The report recommends that:
• City Manager Steve Atkins become a full-time, non -voting member of the Air -port Commission.
• The airport be aggressively marketed by the city to pilots and business nationwide.
• The airport pursue and construct an enhanced precision landing approach to allow planes to land
in all weather.
• Day-to-day operations be contracted out to Jet Air, Inc. - the airport business that already sells
gas, provides charter flights and repairs aircraft.
• The public be made aware of the contributions that the airport provides to the community and the
University of Iowa.
If the city is so worried about the day-to-day operation of the airport, why hasn't our city manager

joined the commission, as recommended? If the city is so worried about the airport making more
money, why is no one aggressively marketing it nationally? If the city is truly interested in
attracting more business to the airport, why is no one pursuing the construction of an Instrument
Landing System that could entice companies to base their aircraft here, potentially raising tens of
thousands of dollars annually?
These are the topics that need to be constructively discussed. Instead, we get a freshman city
councilor, Regenia Bailey, playing politics with the airport's future by arbitrarily cutting nearly 6
percent of its skeleton funding to the detriment of us all.
Here's the bottom line: The Airport Business Solu-tions report estimates that the Iowa City Airport
brings from $2 million to $2.5 million dollars directly into Iowa City every year. The annual cost
of running this facility is now $167,000 a year. That is a 1,500 percent return on our investment
an-nually.
It's clearly time for the Press -Citizen to move on to other topics. We all believe that government
can be made more efficient, and we all like to look for obvious areas of waste and fraud. However,
to concentrate such persistent and intense editorial scrutiny on such an insignificant - and
incredibly profitable - portion of our city's massive budget leads one to question the true motives
of the Press -Citizen's editorial board.

Published: Friday, March 12, 2004
The Iowa City Airport Commission mulled over how to cope with a $10,000 budget cut at
its monthly meeting on Thursday.
The Iowa City City Council voted March 2 to move $10,000 from the airport's budget to
the general fund. Airport manager Ron ONeil said the commission will have to further
stretch an already "bare bones" budget.
"There isn't any fluff in the budget," he said. "This is going to be difficult."
Some commission members said the City Council was "sending a message" to the group
about airport management because the commission failed to adhere to a consultant's
recommendations for improvement.
"[The councilors are] unhappy because their perception is that the commission didn't do
anything, not because the commission didn't do anything," said commission member
Daniel Clay, adding that trying to get a point across through a budget cut is not effective
communication.
O'Neil said there was "no suggestion" of an impending cut in his discussions with the city
finance department in previous months, and he has not received any communication from
the city other than through the news media.

"Ten thousand dollars was taken out without us knowing about it," commission member
Carl Williams said.
ONeil said the commission may have to look at ways to increase revenues instead of
looking for further cuts.

MEMORANDU
TO: Steve Atkins, City Manager MAR 2 3 2004 II
FROM: Ron Knoche, City Engineer U
DATE: March 22, 2004 ------------------------
RE: Mormon Trek Boulevard Extension and Runway 18/36
The Engineering Division is currently working with Earth Tech to develop the
construction plans for phase two of the Mormon Trek Boulevard Extension Project.
Phase two will extend the roadway from the west property line of the airport to Old
Highway 218 (Highway 921). This project will include two parts: 1.) culvert
construction under Mormon Trek and Old Highway 218 to accommodate Willow
Creek and 2.) pavement construction.
The current understanding between the City Council and the Airport Commission is
Runway 18/36 will remain open until the extension of Runway 07/25 is complete.
There is a possibility that the extension will be completed in the Fall of 2005, but a
more realistic completion date is the Fall of 2006. This is due to the availability of
funds from the FAA.
Under the current understanding with the Airport Commission, the pavement
construction for Mormon Trek will not be able to begin until Summer of 2006. ThE
construction would then be complete in Summer of 2007. There would be a year
delay in the opening of the Mormon Trek Boulevard extension from Dane Road to
Old Highway 218.
If there is a desire to bid Phase Two this Fall with both the paving and the culvert
work included in one project, then a modification to current understanding will need
to be discussed. The pavement construction will require Runway 18/36 to be closed
permanently after the work begins. The pavement construction will not begin until
the Summer of 2005. The project should be completed by the Summer of 2006.
The remaining STP Funds allocated by JCCOG for the Mormon Trek Extension will
be used for the construction of phase two. Since the STP funds are being used, the
project will have to be reviewed and let by the Iowa DOT. This requires a six-month
review process starting with submittal of a Concept Statement. The decision of
keeping the culvert and pavement construction in one contract should be decided
prior to submittal of the Concept Statement. In order to stay on schedule for a Fall
2004 letting, the Concept Statement will need to be submitted in May.

NOTICE OF 2004 PUBLIC INPUT MEETINGS
This year the Iowa Transportation Commission intends to conduct four public input meetings
around the state. These meetings are designed to allow citizens to present ideas and
comments on transportation policies and programs directly to the commissioners without
traveling to Ames.
The fast public input meeting is scheduled to be April 13, 2004, in Iowa City. Three
additional meetings are tentatively planned for:
• June 2 in Decorah;
• August 10 in Ottumwa; and
• October 12 in Le Mars.
The commissioners would like to hear from representatives of regional and metropolitan
planning organizations, Iowa cities and counties, chambers of commerce, economic
development groups, modal transportation providers, and other interested groups and
individuals concerning transportation policies and programs at the meeting. The
commissioners also welcome suggestions concerning future transportation needs, policies
and programs.
Items that maybe discussed at the meetings include the State Transportation Improvement
Program, transportation policies, highway, aviation, rail, river and transit issues.
To obtain a scheduled time on the agenda for the Commission meetings, please contact:

Please include the time period you prefer and general topic regarding transportation policies
and programs you wish to discuss with the Commission. This meeting is not intended to
address issues regarding specific projects, or issues on projects which are under construction.
The meeting rooms will generally be small; therefore, your group should be sized
accordingly. We ask that any group wishing to make a statement or presentation to the
commissioners make a written request or call for time on the agenda. The statements,
presentations, suggestions or questions should be organized to last 20 minutes or less. To
accommodate as many requests as possible, it may be necessary to further limit the amount
of time available or to ask some groups to combine their presentations.

14 CFR Part 71
[Docket No. FAA-2004-17143; Airspace Docket No. 04-ACE-9]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Iowa City, IA.
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Direct final rule; request for comments.
MAR 15 2004
SUMMARY: This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR
71) by revising Class E airspace at Iowa City, IA. The nondirectional radio beacon
(NDB) navigation aid associated with Iowa City Municipal Airport has been
decommissioned. Standard instrument approach procedures (SIAPs) utilizing the NDB
are cancelled effective April 15, 2004. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700
feet Above Ground Level (AGL) that accommodates these SIAPs will no longer be
needed.
The intended effect of this rule is to provide appropriate controlled Class E airspace
for aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) at Iowa City, IA, to delete the
Hawkeye NDB and coordinates from the Iowa City, IA Class E airspace area legal
description and to bring the area into compliance with FAA Orders.
DATES:. This direct final rule is effective on 0901 UTC, June 10, 2004.
Comments for inclusion in the Rules Docket must be received on or before
April 14, 2004.
04-ACE-9
ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the Docket Management System,
U.S. Department of Transportation, Room Plaza 401, 400 Seventh Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20590-0001. You must identify the docket number FAA-2004-
17143/Airspace Docket No. 04-ACE-9, at the beginning of your comments. You may
also submit comments on the Internet at ht_pt ://dn,s.dot.eov. You may review the public
docket containing the proposal, any comments received, and any final disposition in
person in the Dockets Office between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic
Division, Airspace Branch, ACE-520C DOT Regional Headquarters Building, Federal
Aviation Administration, 901 Locust, Kansas City, MO 64106; telephone: (816) 329-
2525.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to 14 CFR 71 revises the
Class E airspace at Iowa City, IA. The Hawkeye NDB has been decommissioned. NDB
Runway (RWY) 30 SIAP and NDB or Global Positioning System (GPS)-A SIAP that
serve Iowa City Municipal Airport are cancelled effective April 15, 2004. Controlled
airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL that accommodates these SIAPs will no
longer be needed. The amendment to Class E airspace at Iowa City, IA provides
controlled airspace at and above 700 feet AGL to contain the remaining SIAPs that serve
Iowa City Municipal Airport. The additional Class E airspace necessary for the NDB or
GPS-A SIAP is revoked. The Hawkeye NDB and coordinates, and reference to these, are
deleted from the legal description of Iowa City, IA Class E5 airspace. These actions
bring the Iowa City, IA Class E airspace into compliance with FAA Order 7400.2E,
04-ACE-9
Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters. The area will be depicted on appropriate
aeronautical charts. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9L,
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 2, 2003, and effective
September 16, 2003, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Direct Final Rule Procedure
The FAA anticipates that this regulation will not result in adverse or negative
comment and, therefore, is issuing it as a direct final rule. Previous actions of this nature
have not been controversial and have not resulted in adverse comments or objections.
Unless a written adverse or negative comment, or a written notice of intent to submit an
adverse or negative comment is received within the comment period, the regulation will
become effective on the date specified above. After the close of the comment period, the
FAA will publish a document in the Federal Register indicating that no adverse or
negative comments were received and confirming the date on which the final rule will
become effective. If the FAA does receive, within the comment period, an adverse or
negative comment, or written notice of intent to submit such a comment, a document
withdrawing the direct final rule will be published in the Federal Re inter, and a notice of
proposed rulemaking maybe published with a new comment period.
Comments Invited
Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed rulemaking by submitting
such written data, views, or arguments, as they may desire. Comments that provide the
factual basis supporting the views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in
developing reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are specifically
04-ACE-9
invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy -
related aspects of the proposal. Communications should identify both docket numbers
and be submitted in triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA
to acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with those
comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the following statement is made:
"Comments to Docket No. FAA-2004-17143/Airspace Docket No. 04-ACE-9." The
postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
Agency Findings
The regulations adopted herein will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, it is
determined that this final rule does not have federalism implications under Executive
Order13132.
The FAA has determined that this regulation is noncontroversial and unlikely to
result in adverse or negative comments. For the reasons discussed in the preamble, I
certify that this regulation (1) is not a "significant regulatory action" under Executive
Order 12866; (2) is not a "significant rule" under Department of Transportation (DOT)
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and (3) if
promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Dear Ron:

MAR 2 � 2�0� '
Beginning this year, the Office of Aviation will require airports to reapply each year for
continuation of their public -use landing certificates. Approximately four to six weeks prior to
your current landing certificate expiration, the office will mail your reapplication packet to you.
This packet will contain a reapplication sheet, your current FAA form 5010-1 and a CAD
drawing of your airport. After these materials are corrected and received back in the office,
applications will be reviewed and landing certificates will be awarded. Applications will be
accepted based upon adherence to the state's minimum safety standards.
Our two most common violations are: crops in the safety areas and penetrations of the 20:1
approach slopes. Crops growing taller than 12" in height should not be planted in these safety
areas. Farmers should be reminded when baling hay from these safety areas, remove the bales
immediately or they will be in violation of the 12" height restriction.
Approaches to runway ends should clear a 20:1 approach slope. Trees that penetrate this
approach area should be trimmed or removed in accordance with the necessary clearance
requirements.
For those of you with AWOS sites at your airport, this is a reminder that any growth is required
to be 100' from the site. This distance is imperative to maintain accurate weather reports and
assists us in maintaining the equipment. Access considerations should once again be considered
when planting crops near these AWOS sites.
After violations have been recognized, airport personnel will have 30 days to submit an
acceptable plan of action to the DOT'S Office of Aviation. The office will review these plans
and award a conditional public -use landing certificate.
Airport managers and sponsors are reminded that observations of these standards are required to
remain open for public use. It is important that we improve the safety of Iowa's air
transportation system. Failure to meet these minimums may result in revocation of the current
landing certificate and removal from all state directories. If an airport is removed from public
use, they will be ineligible for any further state or federal assistance. As with all non -local
money, there is a 20-year grant agreement that requires airports to remain open for public use.
If they are not maintained, that money must be repaid.
Current Lanilin, C'ert'ificatus
Please review the list of State Minimum Safety Standards and feel free to contact me at
the number listed above if you have any questions.

14 CFR Part 71
[Docket No. FAA-2004-17144; Airspace Docket No. 04-ACE-101
Modification of Class E Airspace; Cedar Rapids, IA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Direct final rule; request for comments.
SUMMARY: This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR
71) by revising Class E airspace areas at Cedar Rapids, IA. On February 2, 2004, The
Eastern Iowa Airport airport reference point (ARP) was redefined. This action modifies
the Cedar Rapids, IA Class E airspace areas by incorporating the revised ARP. A review
of these airspace areas revealed that the Cedar Rapids Class E airspace area extending
upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) does not comply with FAA Orders.
The intended effect of this rule is to provide appropriate controlled Class E airspace
for aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) at Cedar Rapids, IA and to
bring the areas into compliance with FAA Orders.
DATES: This direct final rule is effective on 0901 UTC, June 10, 2004.
Comments for inclusion in the Rules Docket must be received on or before
April 14, 2004.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the Docket Management System,
U.S. Department of Transportation, Room Plaza 401, 400 Seventh Street, SW.,
04-ACE-t 0
Washington, DC 20590-0001. You must identify the docket number FAA-2004-
17144/Airspace Docket No. 04-ACE-10, at the beginning of your comments. You may
also submit comments on the Internet at httn://dms.dot.eov. You may review the public
docket containing the proposal, any comments received, and any final disposition in
person in the Dockets Office between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. The Docket Office (telephone 1-800-647-5527) is on the plaza
level of the Department of Transportation NASSIF Building at the above address.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic
Division, Airspace Branch, ACE-520C, DOT Regional Headquarters Building, Federal
Aviation Administration, 901 Locust, Kansas City, MO 64106; telephone: (816) 329-
2525.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Eastern Iowa Airport ARP has been
redefined. This amendment to 14 CFR 71 modifies the legal description of the Class E
airspace designated as a surface area at Cedar Rapids, IA by incorporating the revised
ARP. This amendment also modifies the Cedar Rapids, IA Class E airspace area
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface and its legal description. The revised
ARP is incorporated, the radius of the airspace about The Eastern Iowa Airport is
decreased from a 7.4-mile radius to a 6.9-mile radius, the extension to this airspace area is
enlarged from 3 miles each side of the 271' bearing from CINDY LOM to 4 miles north
and 8 miles south of the bearing and the length of the extension is defined in relation to
the LOM. This action brings the legal descriptions of both Cedar Rapids, IA Class E
airspace areas into compliance with FAA Order 7400.2E, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters. The areas will be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts. Class E
04-ACE-10
airspace areas designated as surface areas are published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order
7400.9L, dated September 2, 2003, and effective September 16, 2003, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. Class E airspace areas extending upward from
700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of the
same Order. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
The Direct Final Rule Procedure
The FAA anticipates that this regulation will not result in adverse or negative
comment and, therefore, is issuing it as a direct final rule. Previous actions of this nature
have not been controversial and have not resulted in adverse comments or objections.
Unless a written adverse -or negative comment, or a written notice of intent to submit an

FAA will publish a document in the Federal Re ister indicating that no adverse or

withdrawing the direct final rule will be published in the Federal Register, and a notice of
proposed rulemaking may be published with a new comment period.
