Don Paggeot called the meeting to order at 7:05 PM and asked if there were any modifications to the minutes of the August 10, 1999 Community Council meeting. There were no modifications and the minutes were approved.

Katie Servis reviewed Paine Field’s noise monitoring system; calls made to the noise hotline and summarized the Quarterly Noise Report for July through September 1999.

Bruce Goetz reviewed the Airport’s progress with AFTEMS. Bruce explained that there have been several test days and that the system needs one more approval from the FAA, hopefully within a couple of weeks. There is still a 72-hour delay but the Airport is hoping for a shorter delay time. The system will run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with the information received filtered by the FAA.

Carmen Pecoraro asked about the difference in loudness between arrivals and departures. Dave Waggoner explained that planes departing the airfield are usually lighter, climbing faster and are higher over noise monitors than arrivals.

Bill Dolan spoke to the council about current construction projects.

Runway Safety Area Project: This year’s south safety area construction project is almost complete. This years work will include the construction of another retaining wall directly to the east of the current retaining wall, drainage work along wall, installation of new electrical conduit at the end of the safety area, and some dirt work in a very small section of the NW Territories.

North Ramp: There are discussions of building some corporate hangars on the north ramp, with Barnard Dunkleberg doing the Master Plan.

West-Side Commercial: Bill and Dave discussed the possible commercial development of the west side of the airport. Only land this is not aviation accessible will be used for commercial purposes. These include the area east of Chenault Beach road, the land in the area of the Sheriffs shooting range and a small triangle parcel next to the Speedway just south of the Aulinger wetland. There is 100 acres of land in the Northwest Territories where Boeing has first right of refusal. If this land is not used by Boeing there is the potential to develop a parcel of that property that is not runway accessible as a hotel/restaurant site. The rest of the NWT properties that is runway accessible would become a corporate aircraft development.

BFGoodrich: BFG will be repairing some concrete slabs near their blastfence during the month of December. The blastfence will not be usable while the repairs are being conducted so all BFG engine trims will happen between A1 & A2. BFG will coordinate their schedule so these trims do not occur after 7 p.m.

Kirk Kleinholtz asked Dave about general aviation hangars which generated a lengthy discussion about which parcels of land on the Airport could be used to build new GA hangars. Dave responded that the Airport does recognize a need for more general aviation hangars, however the Airport is going to hire a consultant to masterplan the development. Dave also mentioned that the Airport would build the next set of hangars. The Airport has requested funding from the FAA for an update of the Airport master plan which will help to delineate which areas will be used for corporate, industrial and general aviation. If the FAA can not finding funding for the year 2000, it will happen in the year 2001. With this update the need for more general aviation facilities will be addressed.

Don Paggeot adjourned the meeting at 9:15 p.m.
