Airport Master Plan- Deputy Public Works Director Peter A. Laaninen reported
that on September 17, 1991, the City Council awarded a contract for the update
of the Airport Master Plan to Coffman Associates Airport Consultants. Since
that time, work has been proceeding on the plan. A Planning Advisory
Committee was formed to meet with Coffman Associates and have input
regarding the plan at various milestones. Phase I, which inventories existing
airport facilities and activities and identifies future requirements, and Phase II ,
which presents development alternatives for the future, reports were provided
for this meeting as well as the proposed Airport Development Plan as refined by
input from the Planning Advisory Committee regarding the Phase E report. Of
particular concern is the maintenance of the airport as a general aviation airport.
To this end, the Planning Advisory Committee has indicated that expansion of
the airport to accommodate business jets and other larger aircraft should not be
emphasized as a goal in the master plan. Also of concern is the accommodation
of helicopters, including helicopter landing pad locations and flight patterns.
Mr. Laaninen introduced Ray Boucher, Coffman Associates, and Mr. Boucher
reviewed the reports and answered questions. Phil Lock, retired airport
manager, was present as well as Airport Commissioners Scott Showler and Tom
Klorer. Councilmember Larson moved to approve in principle the draft Airport
Development Plan and directed staff to continue with the completion of the
Airport Master Plan Update with the understanding that the City will improve
and maintain the

existing facilities and not think of expansion until the airport is fully using these
facilities. Motion seconded by Councilmember Foster and carried
unanimously.
The meeting briefly recessed at 9:55 A.M. and reconvened at 10:04 A.M.
Water and Wastewater Financing Issues - Deputy Public Works Director Gary
Phelps reviewed the discussions from the past several study sessions. This
meeting focused on the Wastewater Fund's revenue shortfall. Norman K.
McPhail reviewed his memorandum dated December 10, 1992, regarding the
integrated capital management program for the Wastewater and Water Funds
which contained several alternatives for Councilmembers to consider. Mayor
DeMirjyn declared the City Council must break the current gridlock situation
and give staff direction. He then moved to proceed with Alternative 11, a
combined gradual increase in sewer service charges over four years with a
refunding of the Sewer Certificates of Participation to accomplish the
wastewater financial objectives. Motion seconded by Councilmember Milson
and carried with Councilmembers Cunningham and Foster voting NO.
Monthly Payments - Finance Director Steven M. Chapman presented a
proposal for once a month utility billing with a projected cost of an estimated
$48,000 to implement. Councilmembers concurred they could not support a
concept that would increase costs and directed staff to prepare language for an
ordinance amendment that would allow staff the discretion to work with a
customer to set up an installment plan.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 1.1:45 A.M. The next
regular meeting will be held on December 15, 1992, at 3:00 P.M.
