IV. REGULAR AGENDA
1. Municipal Airport
• Staff report on status of agreements with Sheppard AFB
and subleases — Ms. Morris reported that the new
agreements with Sheppard AFB had been executed. With
that complete, staff is already working on the renewal of
tenant subleases, specifically the FAA and TSA and those

agreements will now require approval by the installation
commander.
• Staff report on upcoming 2009 AIP projects — Ms. Morris
reported that the Master Plan project will kick off on June
1s with a visit from the airport planner and architect. The
runway rehabilitation design work is also making progress.
That project has been complicated by the discovery that
the runway has a line of sight issue which is out of
compliance with FAA standards and which will increase the
scope of the construction required. Staff plans to meet
with FAA to determine the best way to approach this
problem. Ms. Morris also reported that Sheppard is
actively working on the engineering of a Taxiway Echo
rehabilitation or reconstruction project which will require
some coordination with our runway project.
• Appoint members to the Master Plan working committees —
Mr. Armstrong made a motion, seconded by Mr. Little, to
appoint Mr. Gills and Mr. Beavers as board representatives
to the Master Plan working committee. All were in favor.
2. Kickapoo Downtown Airport
• Staff report on T- hangar construction project — Staff
reported that the t- hangar foundation would be complete
during the week and the erection of the building itself
should go rather quickly. The project will then appear to
slow down as the contractor prepares the area for the
apron pavement. The project is on schedule.
• Discussion and approval of t- hangar leasing procedures —
Ms. Morris presented the board with a draft letter and plan
for allocation of the new t- hangars to tenants, individuals
on our waiting list and other interested parties. After some
discussion, Board members had no objections to the plan
with some minor modifications being made.
3. Other Aviation Items — NONE
V. ITEMS OF CONCERN FOR BOARD MEMBERS
• Mr. Little inquired as to the status of the terminal office
space and agreement with Mr. Windle. Ms. Morris
reported that she had received some updates from Mr.
Windle but no significant progress had been made to date.
• Mr. Beavers inquired again about the status of addressing
the crabgrass around the terminal. Ms. Morris reported
that she had asked twice for a quote from a specific
AVIATION ADVISORY BOARD MAY 21, 2009 2
contractor with no response so she would inquire with
another contractor.
• Mr. Gills recommended that city leadership consider
contacting base leadership regarding the procedures and
consideration given when the airfield may need to be
closed. Specifically a suggestion was made to allow the
airfield to accept scheduled commercial flights and the
arrival or departure of aircraft based at SPS.
