CONSIDERATIONS:
1. Discussion of 2016- 2020 TIPS
Tom reviewed the revised FY2016-FY2020 Transportation Improvement Program (TIPs) for the
board members. Revisions included:
Project 1 – bituminous overlay will now proceed with the completion of the WIN
threshold.
Project 2 - The USDA will perform the Wildlife Study saving the Airport approximately
$25,000. Thanks to Ron Naylor for facilitating this.
Project 3 – The PAPI will finally be replaced with a lifespan of approximately 10 years.
During project work, electrical boxes will be removed from 2-20 and windsocks will be
relocated off the runway.
Mr. Hunter asked if the socks can be set in white stone for visibility purposes. Windsocks must
be 400’ from the centerline of the runway. The Airport Manager will check into this.
Dick Anderson moved to approve the TIPS revisions and send on to City Council for approval at
the December 8 meeting. The motion was seconded by Jack Bennett and carried unanimously.
2. 2014 – 15 Snow Removal and Inspection of Snow Removal Equipment (SRE)
Chuck Lanning is working to get all equipment up and running. Plows are operational, with
Tom Cleveland, Chuck, and two Water personnel, when available, handling DTMA’s plowing.
The annual snow letter has been sent to tenants. Tom noted the FBO main parking lot will be an
issue due to construction and snow will be moved across the street.
Tom Cleveland and Chuck reviewed the de-icer truck with Springfield Airport Authority
personnel and DTMA line staffers are taking the NATA training. Tom will operate the truck.
The truck is operational and delivery of de-icer is pending. De-icer will be stocked in 275 gallon
totes and mixed with water. The truck holds has a 1500 gallon capacity and will be kept in the
FBO hangar. A base fee will be charged along with a per gallon fee. A price list has not been
established yet but small planes will receive a break. The cost of the truck was $4000 and will
bring in revenue for the Airport. Last winter 15 or 16 flights were lost because we didn’t have
de-icer.
Mr. Kohlert suggested we advise corporate flight departments of the equipment. Tom advised
that that information is on the Schedulers and Dispatchers conference postcard going out.
