Attended by: Mike Jolovich, Dennis Carpenter,
Jim Ward, Sonny Pacheco, Rob Schultz & Gary Bumgarner
* = Need Action
RLG = Kremmling
GNB = Granby
Continued from previous meetings
County Items
* Hole in asphalt and stress cracks from heavy truck traffic from last years new ramp work, needs repaired in RLG. Ron L. to check with Scott at Columbine Hills Concrete.
* Advisory committee knowing ahead of time as far as possible to closure of GNB airport.
* In anticipation of 20-30 extra aircrafts this summer from GNB, we need to plan for tie downs on the northern expansion of ramp at RLG (to north to new ramp)
* If this recommendation comes to pass we believe it should come to further airport specs with 2 or 3 inches of road base or recycled asphalt.
* Letting pilots or interested persons know as to time of meeting. Mike J will let GNB know & RLG will post meeting time at RLG F.B.O.
* Post # of county dispatch at airports for after hours help.
* Talked water permitted to hangers in RLG for washing airplanes. No sewer required for these hangers, as are private owners & they are just keeping planes & floors clean, no maintenance. Commercial maintenance operation would require oil & grease traps. Committee believes this should be allowed as keeping airplanes clean is a safety factor. Dennis is going to approach town for permission.
Master Plan Review
* T-Hangars layout is needed on master plan as per terminal area drawing, file name 5739602, date 7-13-05, project #055739
* Need to check all developed areas as projected on master plan for elevation of drainages.
* Attach agreement between engineer & professional services to master plan. (Such as Rocky Mountain Mapping Consultants, Armstrong Consultants and any previous work/studies done on RLG).
* On McElroy Field Airport Master Plan Executive Summary Draft please get map with Kremmling on it.
* Area slated to be removed should not be until last part of development, if at all. (aprons, runway)
* With these exceptions the Airport Advisory Committee recommends the McElroy Field Airport Master Plan Draft Report dated April 10, 2007 be approved by the commissioners & town board at no additional cost to either.
* Colorado discretion/aviation grant applicants GNB & RLG were discussed. Committee needs information when it is available for feedback to manager if wanted.
New Items
* Committee meets every 6 weeks on Sunday, 3 pm at RLG unless a special meeting is called
* Prepare the 20 tiedowns @ RLG to future ramp grade & move fill to future T Hanger pads
* Need one of the following for future waste @ RLG hangars
o City Sewer Line
o Holding Tank
o Septic Tank & Field
* Water at the airport needed to some future hangars
* Anything that belongs to the hangar owner, is safe and not a health issue may be stored in a Non commercial hanger as long as there is also an aircraft with N-number resident.
* Hangar tie down fees are not recommended but decided on by FBO.
* Is engineering at RLG Master Plan done with elevations on everything?
* Can there be an elevation established for future hangar. We feel it should be done with the $9,500 study.
* Make sure the master plan includes all elevations
* The county has done site work on ramp work and hangar pads in the past.
* We recommend the airport committee meet with the commissioners after every third committee meeting or as needed.
