Appendix D: Airport Commission Meeting Minutes ......................................................................................... page 1 Executive Summary In October 2022, the Airport Commission engaged the Bailey Leadership Initiative to develop a new five-year strategic plan. The planning process included gathering input from the public, the Commission, the Airport staff, and the City Manager. The consultant conducted an online survey, and the results, along with a SWOT analysis, were presented to the Commission at its meeting in December 2022. At its December meeting, the Airport Commission agreed that the “givens” noted during its previous planning process continued to be relevant for this planning process and were not open for consideration or discussion. Givens • Iowa City will have a general aviation airport. • It will be at the existing location of the Iowa City Municipal Airport. • It will be approximately the size of the existing site. During the planning process, the Commission reaffirmed the Airport’s mission statement, revised in 2017, updated the Airport’s vision statement, and developed four goals for the 2024—2028 strategic plan. page 2 Vision and Mission Statements Vision Statement The Iowa City Municipal Airport is an integral community asset that supports the strategic goals of the City of Iowa City and benefits the region’s commerce, vitality, and community pride. Mission Statement The Iowa City Municipal Airport, directed by the Airport Commission, provides a safe, cost-effective general aviation facility. The Airport creates and enriches economic, educational, healthcare, cultural, and recreational opportunities for the greater Iowa City community. Goals The Airport Commission adopted four goals for the FY 2024—2028 plan. • Increase the community’s use and understanding of the Airport. • Develop Airport infrastructure to support growing Airport uses. • Continue to develop funding mechanisms for Airport operations, improvements, and maintenance. • Sustain strong communication and collaboration with the City Council, City Administration, and other City Departments. The Commission further developed strategies and success indicators for each goal. These will be used to create the Airport’s annual work plan and provide direction to the Airport Manager. By aligning its efforts with the goals in its strategic plan, the Iowa City Airport Commission aims to ensure that the Airport supports its mission and continues to be an efficient, effective community asset that welcomes area residents to its facilities for aviation and community related events and activities. page 3 Overview The Iowa City Municipal Airport (IOW) serves the general aviation needs of the greater Iowa City community. The purpose of this strategic plan is to provide direction for the Iowa City Municipal Airport for fiscal years 2024—2028. The Iowa City Airport Commission will use the goals, strategies, and success indicators in the plan to guide the work activities and evaluate the work performance of the Airport Manager. The Airport Commission will use the 2016 Iowa City Municipal Airport Master Plan and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Layout Plan to guide facilities maintenance and upgrades necessary to comply with the latest safety standards and FAA regulations. In 2023, the Airport Commission will also undertake a Terminal Area Study and a Solar Project Study. Recommendations from these studies will also direct facility improvements at the Airport. History of Strategic Planning at the Airport In 2004, the Iowa City Airport Commission determined that a strategic plan was needed to guide the direction of the Iowa City Municipal Airport. In 2005, the Airport Commission developed the first strategic plan for the Iowa City Municipal Airport for FY2006—2010. In 2010, the Iowa City Airport Commission updated the original plan and created a document to guide the Airport’s FY 2011—2015 work. In the Fall of 2017, the Airport Commission used the previous plan to develop its strategic plan for fiscal years 2019—2023. This strategic plan is built on the processes and development of the previous plans to guide the Commission in its work during fiscal years 2024—2028. page 4 Background About the Iowa City Municipal Airport The Iowa City Municipal Airport is located two miles southwest of downtown Iowa City in Johnson County. Johnson County is the fourth largest county in Iowa (population 154,748—US Census Bureau 2021 estimate). The Iowa City-Cedar Rapids corridor is one of two principal economic growth areas within the state of Iowa. The Iowa City Municipal Airport is strategically located close to Interstates 80 and 380, U.S. Highways 6 and 218, and Iowa Highway 1. Iowa City is the home of the University of Iowa, with a student enrollment of just over 30,000. The Iowa City Municipal Airport is integrated into the activities of the University of Iowa, including the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, the medical college, the other academic colleges, and the athletics department. Airport Operations and Facilities The Iowa City Municipal Airport is owned by the City of Iowa City and operated by a five-member Airport Commission whose members are appointed by the City Council. The Airport Commission is responsible for all aspects of Airport operations and management and makes budgeting, development, and maintenance decisions. The Airport Commission employs an Airport Manager to oversee the Airport’s daily operations and has a contractual agreement with Jet Air Inc., a fixed based operator. Jet Air provides fuel sales, flight training, aircraft maintenance, hangar space, and other Airport support services. The Iowa City Municipal Airport is one of Iowa's busiest general aviation airports, with around 36,000 flight operations annually. Ninety-two aircraft are based at the Iowa City Municipal Airport. These aircraft are housed in fifty-nine T-hangars and eight corporate hangars and are used for charter flights, page 5 corporate and business activities, flight instruction, rental, leisure, and health purposes, such as the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics organ transplant and air ambulance programs. A recent study by the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) reported that the Iowa City Municipal Airport generates $24 million of total annual economic activity, which ranks second for total annual economic activity among all the general aviation airports in Iowa. The Airport’s facilities include two runways, a terminal building, a maintenance facility, hangars, aircraft fueling facilities, an aircraft parking ramp, tie down apron, and a vehicle parking area. Runway 7/25 is the primary runway. It is 5,002 feet long and has a full parallel taxiway. Runway 12/30 is the secondary crosswind runway and is 3,900 long. Iowa City’s runway facilities enable the Airport to accommodate larger aircraft than many other general aviation airports. The Airport terminal building was completed in 1953. It was designed by Iowa City architect Henry L. Fisk and is an example of mid- century International Style. The terminal includes a lobby and pilot’s lounge with wireless internet access, an FAA certified flight simulator room, restrooms, administrative offices, and public meeting room space. The Airport has a rotating beacon, a lighted wind indicator, a remote communications outlet (RCO), and an automated surface weather observation system (ASOS). Fueling facilities are provided by Jet Air, the Fixed Base Operator (FBO). page 6 Airport History The Iowa City Municipal Airport is the oldest civil airport west of the Mississippi River still in its original location. It had its first recorded flights in 1918. In 1920, the U.S. Postal Service chose the site as a fuel stop between Chicago and Omaha. Public ownership of the Iowa City Municipal Airport was established in 1929, and 1937 saw the first asphalt-surfaced runway. In 1940, Runway 12/30 was extended to provide a base of defense for the Rock Island Arsenal. 1941 saw the first concrete paving of an Iowa City Municipal Airport runway. In 1944, the Iowa City Airport Commission was formed to manage Airport operations. Between 1930 and 1972, commercial passenger flights were available at the Iowa City Municipal Airport. After the cessation of commercial flights in 1972, the Airport became a public use airport with limited or no scheduled air services—known as a general aviation airport. As a general aviation airport, the Iowa City Municipal Airport serves area businesses, the University of Iowa, and private aircraft users. In 1992, a consultant was hired to consider the possible relocation of the Iowa City Municipal Airport. Several alternative sites for the proposed relocation were evaluated along with the existing site. After much deliberation, the Iowa City City Council determined that the Iowa City Municipal Airport would remain at its current location. The City Council directed that a master plan be completed to ensure safe aviation operations into the future that are consistent with the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration. In 1996, the Airport completed its first master plan. The update to this plan was completed in October 2016. Elements of the 2016 Master Plan will be completed as federal funds become available. page 7 Developing the Strategic Plan Planning Process In October 2022, the Iowa City Airport Commission engaged the Bailey Leadership Initiative to work with the Commission to develop a five-year strategic plan. The specific outcome of this task was to develop a plan that included goals and objectives that could be used to guide the Airport Commission’s annual work plan. The development of the strategic plan was to include a public input process and an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) facing the Airport. The project began by gathering input from the public, the Airport Commission members, the Airport staff, and the City Manager concerning the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing the Iowa City Municipal Airport. The consultants developed and launched an online survey. The survey used the same questions as the public survey in 2017 when developing the Airport’s previous strategic plan. The Airport Commissioners believed that using the same questions would enable them to compare the responses between the two surveys. The City of Iowa City’s Communications Department promoted the survey through various media channels, including the City’s news alerts, Facebook page, Nextdoor app, and Twitter feed. The Airport and consultant promoted the survey through their social media channels. The survey was available between October 27 and November 10, 2022. During this time, 185 people responded to the survey. A summary of the survey results is available in Appendix C. At the initial planning session on December 8, 2022, the Bailey Leadership Initiative team members presented an overview of the planning process. They outlined the fundamental questions that will be answered by the strategic planning process and resulting plan: Where are we now? Where do we want to be in five years? How will we get there? The consultants reviewed the South Central District Plan of the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan and current land use surrounding the Airport. They also presented results from the public survey and discussed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats identified in the public survey and the Commissioner’s surveys and interviews. page 8 Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths The following were listed in survey responses to “What does the Iowa City Municipal Airport (IOW) do well?” and in comments in other survey questions and comments from the interviews with Commission members. • Facilities • Events • Financial self-sufficiency (by the Airport) • Location Weaknesses These were listed in survey responses to "What does the Iowa City Municipal Airport (IOW) need to improve?" along with comments in other survey questions and comments from the interviews with Commission members. • Facilities • Noise • Awareness • Services • Climate friendly actions • Trail access The consultants also presented items to consider, including opportunities and threats that the Commission should be aware of as they develop the plan. These included: • Climate action • Changes in aviation • Airport’s business model and self-sustainability • On-going Commission activities page 9 After presenting the public survey results with the SWOT analysis, the consultants reviewed the goals, the vision and mission statements, and the “givens” stated in the Commission’s 2019—2023 plan. The Airport Commission agreed that the “givens” outlined in the 2019—2023 plan continued to be relevant for this planning process and were not open for consideration or discussion. Givens • Iowa City will have a general aviation airport. • It will be at the existing location of the Iowa City Municipal Airport. • It will be approximately the size of the existing site. The Commission reviewed the vision and mission statements. A mission statement describes who the organization is and what it does. It helps distinguish an organization from others doing similar work. A vision statement is more aspirational and represents the long-term change resulting from the organization’s work. Both statements were updated during the planning process in 2017. The Commission made a few changes to the vision statement and made no changes to the mission statement. Vision Statement from the 2019—2023 strategic plan The Iowa City Municipal Airport supports the strategic goals of the City of Iowa City and is an integral community asset that contributes to the region’s economic vitality and evokes community pride. Revised Vision Statement for the 2024—2028 plan The Iowa City Municipal Airport seeks to support the strategic goals of the City of Iowa City and is an integral community asset that benefits the region’s commerce, vitality, and community pride. Mission Statement The Iowa City Municipal Airport, directed by the Airport Commission, provides a safe, cost-effective general aviation facility. The Airport creates and enriches economic, educational, healthcare, cultural, and recreational opportunities for the greater Iowa City community. page 10 The discussion moved on to discuss the goals from the previous plan. The Commission determined that the broad goal categories of communication, funding, Airport use, and Airport infrastructure continued to make sense for the new plan. Goals The Airport Commission developed four goals for the 2024—2028 plan. • Increase the community’s use and understanding of the Airport. • Develop Airport infrastructure to support growing Airport uses. • Continue to develop funding mechanisms for Airport operations, improvements, and maintenance. • Sustain strong communication and collaboration with the City Council, City Administration, and other City Departments. At its third meeting, the Commission discussed strategies to accomplish each goal and success indicators to track progress on the strategies. The strategies and success indicators were reviewed and refined at the Commission’s fourth strategic planning session. The Airport Commission will review progress on its strategic plan annually. The Airport Manager will be responsible for developing annual work plans and timelines to implement the strategies listed within each goal. The Commission and the Airport will monitor the progress of its annual work plan as part of its regular monthly Commission meetings. page 11 The Strategic Plan Vision and Mission Statements Vision Statement The Iowa City Municipal Airport is an integral community asset that supports the strategic goals of the City of Iowa City and benefits the region’s commerce, vitality, and community pride.

Appendix D: Airport Commission Meeting Minutes Meeting Minutes October 2022 November 2022 December 2022 January 2023 February 2023 March 2023 April 2023 May 2023 June 2023 July 2023 Airport Commission December 8, 2022 Page 2of 6 GMT as a different set of eyes. Lawrence asked about the similarity of this situation and when the Commission selected Bolton & Menk to prepare the Airport Master Plan when AECOM had been their engineering consultant. Members continued to discuss the experience with similar projects presented by GMT and Bolton & Menk. Clair moved to direct Tharp to negotiate a contract with CMT, seconded by Orozco. Motion carried 5-0 ti: -Airport Stra egic Plan -Bailey statea tnat they wantea1o give a surface level review of the survey results and introduced Jeff Davidson to the Commission. Davidson introduced himself and gave a summary of the Airport Commission's strategic planning work to date stating that he had helped the Commission develop the first and second plans, and assisted on the last plan when the Commission hired Bailey Leadership Initiative to facilitate the plan. Davidson discussed the Comprehensive Plan and the South Central District plan with the members. Davidson discussed details of the district stating that the Airport was the central piece of the district. Davidson discussed the land use plans that had been proposed in 2000 with the plan and noted how development today had matched the planned. Members discussed the plan with Davidson. Bailey then led the Commission through a review of the survey results. Bailey highlighted some of the responses to the questions including the breakdown. Bailey noted that the largest response group was those that lived on the east side of the river and of those 39% were non-users of the airport. Members continued to discuss the survey results with Bailey. Bailey noted that in preparation for the January meeting where the goals and objectives would start to be discussed was a review of the Council's strategic plan and how airport projects would connect. Bailey noted the need to look at the long term trends in aviation and how the Commission can anticipate and react to those trends. Bailey also noted that the strategic plan should also include the other actions of the Commission such as the terminal space study. Bailey reviewed the goals in the current plan and how the Commission would want to change the goals or edit what they prioritized. Bailey asked if the Commission wanted to see the survey results directly, to the which the Commission affirmed. Tharp noted she could send the results to him and he would funnel them out. Bailey noted that if there were any questions she'd be happy to answer them or send them to Davidson for any land use related questions. c.Hangar A Mural Project -Tharp noted that there were 24 submissions to the RFQ and that a review committee had narrowed that list down to 6 for the Commission to review and pick 3 who would be asked to provide a concept for the work. Tharp stated the Orozco wasn't able to make the subcommittee meeting, but since Orozco was also on the Commission he felt ok for the group to move forward with their review as Orozco would be able to be included in the Commission discussion. Members discussed the submission members and highlighted their top picks. Tharp noted that Brownlee had been a name that occurred on the lists of everyone so they should be one of the finalists. Members agreed and continued to discuss other submissions. Clair discussed the submittal by Scarborough. Pfohl discussed the submittal by Gossell. Members agreed by consensus to seek concepts from Brownlee, Scarbrough, and Gossell. Ford stated she would contact the artists for the concept work. d.Airport Construction Projects: i.FAA grant projects Airport Com mission December 8, 2022 Page 3of 6 1.Runway 25 Threshold Relocation -Tharp stated there were some cleanup items that needed to occur in the spring. Bishop asked about the taxiway lead in lines, Tharp noted that was one of the things that needed to be completed. 2.Runway 12/30 Displaced Threshold/�elocation -Tharp noted -they had received the go.letter to proceed with the work and Bolton & Menk was working on the contract 3.FAA FY24 AIP Pre-Application -Tharp noted that there was a change in the plan due to funding and that the solar power project would be pushed into 2024. Tharp noted that with the plan to use the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) funds for both the terminal study and the solar power project they weren't confident sufficient funding was available for both projects. Tharp noted the FAA had released the amount that airports would get for the fiscal year noting they had been allocated $295,000 in the first year and $292,000 in the second. Tharp stated they also had some environmental items they would need to address so they would be able to proceed with that in the mean time. Lawrence asked about banking the funds to which Tharp noted that was allowed. Lawrence then asked about the matching funds and Tharp stated they were a 90% grant and the city was on board with funding the other 10% match. Clair asked about other projects for the funds, and Tharp stated they didn't have anything else planned at this point for the BIL funds. Tharp stated that with that change, the pre-application lays out the projects much like they've been discussing. Clair motioned to approve the submittal, seconded by Lawrence. Motion carried 5-0 ii.Iowa DOT grant projects 1.FY22 Program a.South T-hangar infrastructure -Tharp stated that this was a spring project 2.FY23 Program - a.Terminal Building Improvements -Tharp stated that they had an agreemen t for this and the wayfinding project with Bolton & Menk.

He would present the operating budget at that meeting. ii.Management 1.Consider a resolution approving temporary easement with Hills Bank -Tharp stated that Hills Bank had been working with the engineering department and him and the bank had done some work along the joined property line where the pond is located to remove trees. Tharp noted that Hills Bank wanted to add some rip-rap to the area for bank stabilization and the group felt they should get a more formal agreement with the airport for the work. Tharp noted that Hills Bank was completing the work at their cost.
