AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES

MONDAY – OCTOBER 26, 2010

AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING

The Muscatine Airport Advisory Commission meeting was called to order at 5:00 p.m. by

Chairperson Page. Commission members present were Chairperson Jerry Page, Phil Fitzgerald, and Bill

Leddy. Also present was Steven Boka, Director of Community Development and Carver Aero employees

Janet Lewis and Mike Woerly, and Councilmember Dyann Roby.

Commissioners Tooman and Cale were excused.

The Commission and guests toured a variety of hangars to observe the types of construction and

overall condition. The Commissioners noted that poor drainage in and around a number of the hangars has

caused deterioration and icing around the doors during the winter months. Options were discussed and it was

determined that a policy regarding use of the limited hangar space for aircraft storage should be a priority.

The Commission returned to the terminal building to continue the meeting.

The next item on the agenda was the approval of the August 23, 2010 minutes.

It was moved by Commissioner Fitzgerald and seconded by Commissioner Leddy that the minutes be

approved as corrected to show that Commissioner Tooman was not present for the meeting. There was no

additional discussion and the minutes were approved unanimously.

The Commission then reviewed an inventory of hangar types that was prepared by Chairperson Page.

The materials suggested a formula for determining an updated rental fee schedule. Following a general

discussion concerning a hangar tour and the inventory submittals, it was concluded that a hangar rental and

use policy should be developed that will match the hangar with the type of aircraft to be stored. The

Commission generally agreed that first priority for available hangar space should go the City of Muscatine

residents and/or business owners. Second priority would go to non-residents that have been on the waiting

list the longest.

Boka stated that he will try to provide the Commission with a draft policy for the next agenda.

Commissioner Fitzgerald moved to adjourn. Second by Commissioner Leddy. All present voted aye.

Meeting adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Steven W .Boka

Director of Community Development
