REGULAR MEETING- On December 21, 2009, a Regular Meeting of the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport Authority was held in the Council Chambers. In attendance were Dan Evans, Rachel Nash, Larry Lynch and Arjay Morgan. Chairman, Dan Evans called the meeting to order and roll call was taken. A quorum was found to be present.

APPROVAL/CORRECTION OF THE MINUTES

The November Regular Meeting Minutes and Project Report are not available for review due to technical difficulties. The Minutes and Project Report will be available at the next scheduled Regular Airport Authority Meeting.

I. TABLED ITEMS:

1. SUNPATH LEASE ADJUSTMENT

2. SKYDIVE CITY-LEASE MODIFICATION REQUEST

3. MEETING MINUTES AND PROJECT REPORT-NOVEMBER 16, 2010

II. AGENDA ITEMS:

1. PROPOSED HANGAR DEVELOPMENT LEASE BY ARIEL HOMES

Ariel Quintilla and Attorney Clark Hobby were present to discuss a long term ground lease. This proposed lease is for thirty years and will allow one year for necessary tests to the land with the option to be released from the project upon the results of those tests.

Ideally, these condominium hangars will provide space for CEOs of companies to travel in the area as well as increased jet traffic due to their available executive amenities. This project is estimated for a $2.4 million budget. This project will only provide positive revenue to the airport from land lease and increased fuel sales, just to name a few. Mr. Quintilla would ultimately be responsible for the tenants and their needs.

After reviewing the lease, Dan Evans expressed a concern regarding the terminology dealing with the ‘Fuel Flowage’. Trina Sweet and Clark Hobby mentioned that the City Attorney, Joe Poblick, had reviewed it previously. Since this project has no intentions of building a fuel farm, it wasn’t a major concern at the time. Mr. Evans requested that the lease go back to the attorney to be modified and omit this entirely or to clarify that the FBO be the only facility on the airport to provide fuel.

Rachel Nash made a motion to accept the lease upon the contingency of the City Attorney’s adjustments to the ‘Fuel Flowage’ terms. Larry Lynch seconded the motion. The vote was two to one in favor while Arjay Morgan voted against.

2. LAND SWAP APPRAISAL REPORT

The Land Swap Appraisal Report was reviewed. Rachel Nash stated that appraisals that were used were dated as far back as 2005. Ms. Nash had given a copy of a deed to another sale in the area to Trina Sweet which was not used by Rick Rape in his report. Ms. Nash made a motion to table this item until we received information from the appraiser to explain why a comparable appraisal was not used in his presentation before we make a decision regarding the “numbers” on his appraisal. Trina Sweet agreed that the deed in question is more recent and comparable to the parcel that was appraised. Larry Lynch seconded the motion and was voted unanimously.

3. CANCEL/RESCHEDULE JANUARY 18, 2010 MEETING

Due to the Martin Luther King holiday, the Regular Airport Authority Meeting is to be held on January 6, 2010.

4. AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

The Airport Authority Members were presented with a Monthly Fuel Sales Report. The Fuel Report shows that both AVGAS fuel sales and JetA fuel sales are up. “Looking Good”.

II. AGENDA ITEMS:

SKYDIVE CITY-LEASE MODIFICATION REQUEST

T.K. Hayes, Manager of SkyDive City, was present and again requested an extension of the previously presented extended 20 years lease. The original budget of the new building has exceeded their expectations. Trina Sweet, Airport Manager, reviewed the minutes to the September 21^st 2009 meeting where Dan Evans recommended that this issue be tabled until the Airport Authority Members review minimum standards and look into other similar lease agreements. Mr. Hayes will present the Airport Authority with a final budget of the project upon its completion. Dan Evans requested it in written form. The Airport Master Plan would have to be reviewed. Jim Spears made a motion to retable this item until then. Arjay Morgan seconded the motion and was voted unanimously.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

The Airport Authority Members were presented with a Monthly Project Report, Monthly Income Statement and Monthly Fuel Sales Statement. The Fuel Statement shows that AVGAS fuel sales were down for the month of October and JetA fuel sales were up. In fact, the JetA fuel sales over compensated for the lack of AVGAS sales. The airport is in a better spot than this time last year. By keeping our prices down it seems to attract local aircraft that may otherwise fuel at their home base airport. Make a note that the September Income Statement should be a final year end statement but it is not due to the on-going audit. This is an estimated figure. It shows the operating budget with a surplus of $40,000. The audit should show very favorable.

Dan Evans inquired about the status of the T-hangar door repairs, which are ongoing at this time.

I. TABLED ITEMS:

No tabled items at this time.

II. AGENDA ITEMS:

SKYDIVE CITY-LEASE MODIFICATION REQUEST

T.K. Hayes, Manager of SkyDive City was present and requested an extension of the previously presented extended 20 years lease. The original budget of the new building has exceeded their expectations. Recently, the fire department informed Mr. Hayes that the construction of the new building would have to include a sprinkler system which would increase their budget by an additional $35,000-$40,000. The materials have been ordered and will arrive in three weeks. The estimated date of completion of this project is two months.

Dan Evans recommended that this issue be tabled until the Airport Authority Members review minimum standards and look into other similar lease agreements. Jim Spears made a motion to table this item until we get the complete budget of the SkyDive City project, review minimum standards, and look into how this issue would affect future lease conditions. Larry Lynch seconded the motion and was voted unanimously.

SUNPATH LEASE ADJUSTMENT

Airport Authority Members reviewed the letter from Derek Thomas requesting a reduction of the size of the acreage in his lease. Initially, the acreage in question was measured as two separate parcels of 2.5 acres each. The letter was found to be insufficient to vote upon. The Airport Authority agreed that they would need Mr. Thomas to provide a lease proposal to show change in SunPath needs and bring back to present to the Airport Authority to vote on. Arjay Morgan made a motion to table this item until SunPath presents a revised lease proposal. Jim Spears seconded the motion and was voted unanimously.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

The Airport Authority Members were presented with a Monthly Income Statement and Fuel Sales Report. The Fuel Report shows that AVGAS fuel sales are up and Jet A are down compared to this time last year. As a whole, we seem to be on track with fuel sales.

Dan Evans recommended that the Airport Authority needs to address Banner Towing issues including fees, guidelines, and other concerns. Also, airport safety has become an increasing concern within the Banner Towing, Tampa Bay Soaring Society, SkyDive City, and other small aircraft population. An Airport Safety Committee meeting will be scheduled mid October to discuss these issues.

I. TABLED ITEMS:

No tabled items at this time.

II. AGENDA ITEMS:

SUNPATH LEASE MODIFICATION

Trina Sweet presented the Airport Authority with a special circumstance for SunPath. The owners, Pat and Derek Thomas separated and Mr. Thomas relocated SunPath to its headquarter office in North Carolina. Mr. Thomas owns the building and is currently looking for a tenant. He is also looking for ways to lower his expenses. Originally, the land in question was surveyed at two separate parcels at 2.5 acres per parcel. It was understood that SunPath would expand over the next several years, therefore, leasing both 2.5 acre parcels. Unfortunately, these plans have changed. Due to the relocation of SunPath, Mr. Thomas will not need the acreage on the initial lease.

No action is expected from the Airport Authority at this time. No formal request has been submitted to date. If the Airport Authority is receptive at this meeting, Mr. Thomas will submit a formal written request. The Airport Authority agreed that they would be interested in seeing a formal request submitted to Joe Poblick, City Attorney, to be presented at the October regular meeting.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

Trina Sweet presented the Airport Authority Members with a Monthly Income Statement and Fuel Sales Report. The Fuel Report shows that AVGAS fuel sales are up and Jet A are down compared to this time last year. As a whole, we seem to be on track with fuel sales.

Recently the airport has been experiencing a multitude of problems with the new t-hangar doors after our first storm of the season. After constantly calling the contractor to fix each door situation separately, Mr. Carr spoke with the manufacturing company to accompany Carr Contracting to come up with a permanent solution. Hopefully, by next week we will have a full remedy. Trina Sweet would like to have LPA examine the t-hangar doors after completion. Dan Evans recommended that a letter from the manufacturer be requested once the adjustments have been made to reassure that all has been remedied. Mark Kistler stated that LPA was to be on site during the installation.

James Spears made a motion to schedule the Airport Capital Improvement Plan workshop on August 12, 2009, at 4:00pm at the airport FBO. Larry Lynch seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

Trina Sweet presented the Airport Authority Members with a June 2009 Newsletter, Monthly Financial Statement, and Fuel Sales Report. Trina Sweet explained that fuel sales are down a little, due to bad weather and the economy. We should expect an increase in fuel sales as the new T-Hangars fill up, as the new tenants seem to fly more than our existing tenant base.

Sweet also reported that, through revenues generated over the past two years there was no need to utilize the budgeted line of credit draw to finance the local share of the t-hangar project.

Sweet added that the t-hangars are paid for in full and the only remaining debt service the Airport has is approximately $35,000.00 from a previous project, which will be completely paid off next fiscal year. The Airport is operating in the positive at this point.

I. TABLED ITEMS:

No tabled items at this time.

II. AGENDA ITEMS:

ADVANCED DRIVER TRAINING SERVICES REQUEST

Trina Sweet advised the Airport Authority that it was premature to add this item to the agenda since no letter of intent has been received to date. The Advanced Driver Training Services are requesting Saturday, May 2, 2009 for the use of Taxiway “B”. The Porsche Club is scheduled to use Taxiway “B” on Sunday, May 3, 2009.

Arjay Morgan motioned that this item be tabled and be able to call a special meeting to accept this item when the letter is received. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

AVIATION INSTRUMENT TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED LEASE EXTENSION

Trina Sweet presented a letter to the Airport Authority from Dave Teichman of Aviation Instrument Technologies Inc. to request a lease extension of ten years. Upon review of the lease agreement on file, Trina pointed out that a modification to the lease was made on January 22, 2001 to include the rental of Aerocenter. The Teichman family resided in the Aerocenter apartment and ran Aerocenter along with Aviation Instrument Technologies, Inc. At a later date this arrangement was nullified and the lease went back to its original agreement omitting Aerocenter. A copy of this lease had been emailed to the City Attorney but no response has been received to date. Trina Sweet will contact Mr. Poblick to inquire of any concerns he may have before presenting to City Council.

Larry Lynch motioned that the Airport Authority recommend that the lease be presented to City Council for the first of two ten year extensions in contingency to Attorny Poblick’s review. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

MAX BRIDGES LEASE EXTENSION

Due to expire May 31, 2009, Max Bridges faxed a letter to request an extension in his lease agreement for his individual hangar located by the entrance to Runway 4. The surrounding individual hangars came along at a later date and agreed to a 3-5 year lease with the understanding that at the end of that time their lease would be year to year until the airport decided to build at that site. Once this decision was made, tenants would then have sixty days to vacate. Mr. Bridges is requesting an extension of ten years. Trina Sweet had had several conversations with Mr. Bridges over the years regarding the other individual hangars and their lease agreement conditions. He is aware that his future at this location is not a permanent one. If the Airport Authority decided to have Mr. Bridges stay, an extension is not possible. His current lease does not give him the option to extend. At this point, Mr. Bridges will have to negotiate an entirely new lease agreement. Trina Sweet recommended a year to year lease to coincide with the surrounding individual hangar current lease agreements. After review the Airport Authority agreed.

Ed Lark made a motion to make the lease agreement month to month until a new year to year lease agreement is drawn up with the City Attorney. Larry Lynch seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

Dan Evans presented an email from Steve Spina reiterating that the Charter/Ordinance authorizes the Airport Authority to do all it deems necessary to carry out all duties which includes forming committees. When committees are formed he would like to be informed of the members and subject matter. At that time, the meetings are to be made public and can be held at any location within city limits.

Trina Sweet presented a letter of intent from Jim Werme expressing his company’s interest in leasing Aerocenter in its entirety. Mr. Werme is not present to discuss the matter but requested that the letter be introduced to the Airport Authority as soon as possible in order for him to present a proposal. No action is expected at this time. Unlike previous business proposals presented by a company that would like to build on a particular airport parcel, Aerocenter is a current structure and built with grant funding, therefore, would have to be made public so that other interested parties could participate in the bidding process. This scenario would require an appraisal. At the time that Teichman leased Aerocenter it had been a new building and the purchase price had been used. Trina Sweet compared the recent Wachovia Bank appraisal to Aerocenter and an estimate of $3,800.00 was given to the Airport Authority.

Arjay Morgan motioned to include this item to the agenda today in order to discuss concerns. Larry Lynch seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Arjay Morgan inquired about the status of Aerocenter. Trina Sweet advised Airport Authority that the hangar is filled to capacity with aircraft that are under a month to month rental agreement, the pilots lounge has been relocated to a vacant office space, two other offices are currently being rented as was the apartment. Unfortunately as of late, the apartment is currently being cleared and will become available which puts the airport at breaking even financially. On the other hand, liability of moving aircraft in and around Aerocenter has always been a concern. It’s also an inconvenience for the airport staff to have to drop their task at hand to accommodate their needs in a timely manner.

Initially, the plans for Aerocenter was to use the offices as an incubator type facility for new businesses who do not have the means for the entire amount they need to start development. Offices would be made available for up to a year until construction of their business is complete. This description is made clear in the loan agreement which causes concern about leasing the Aerocenter in its entirety. Dan Evans discussed his concerns that Jim Werme’s company would be able to use Aerocenter any way that they wish whether it meets minimum standards or not. Without a business proposal he is reluctant to spend the money for an appraisal and move forward. Larry Lynch added that it should be considered to keep Aerocenter available for future events and special circumstances. Offices have been utilized for conference rooms by EAA and Ye Mystic for meetings and presentations and the pilots lounge has been relocated until the Fire Department returns to its downtown facility. With the airports plans of growth, we may need the Aerocenter for our own needs.

Arjay Morgan made a motion to decline the request for a singular lessee for Aerocenter. Larry Lynch seconded the motion and was passed unanimously.

Fuel sales are on target. Next month should reflect an increase in fuel sales due to an increase in tenants. Trina Sweet offered the Airport Authority an invitation to the T-Hangar Grand Opening Celebration scheduled for Saturday, March 21^st from 2:00-4:00pm. Refreshments will be served at H12 U1 where EAA and Ye Mystic would set up information and there would be a meet and greet with old tenants with the new.

Ariel Quintilla will be making a business proposal and presentation to City Council on April 13^th. He has been interested in the six acre parcel located beyond the newly constructed t-hangars. Mr. Quintilla has contacted a contractor and plans to move forward with construction on corporate hangars and an office. It would be helpful if Airport Authority members could be resent for the presentation so that Mr. Quintilla will not have to repeat it at a later date.

I. TABLED ITEMS:

No tabled items at this time.

II. AGENDA ITEMS:

FORMING COMMITTEES

The City Manager, Steve Spina, addressed the Airport Authority regarding a misconception by the City Attorney, Joseph Poblick, of the authority’s ability to form special committees. According to the Land and Development Code #13 which states that the Airport Authority Members are authorized to do all it deems necessary to carry out its duties which leaves it open ended. Mr. Spina expressed that forming committees should fall under this code. Dan Evans added that when committees are formed they are dispersed after the project is completed that said committee was formed. Mr. Spina will email all City Council Members with said information. If there are questions or concerns, Airport Authority will be notified but Mr. Spina does not foresee any future problems. All committee meetings should be made public.

SEANA AVIATION LEASE EXTENSION REQUEST

Dan DeBeer wrote a letter to Trina Sweet to extend his existing lease of Seana Aviation for 20 years. Seana Aviation is located at Hangar #200. City Attorney, Joseph Poblick, has a couple of concerns about the existing lease. After review, Ed Lark made a motion to accept the lease in contingent with City Attorney, Joseph Poblick’s concerns have been met before being presented to City Council. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

Trina Sweet went over the January 2009 Newsletter. Fuel sales and the budget are right where we should be. A pilot’s lounge has been set up in an Aerocenter office with new furniture that Steve Spina has required the Fire Department to reimburse the airport. A T-Hangar Grand Opening Celebration will take place on Saturday, March 21, 2009 from 4-6pm. Nancy Morin will print out invitations and mail out with March bills. Specific planning will take place within the next few weeks regarding food and location. Plans to invite business owners with airport services will be invited and media as well.

Jim Werme requested to address the Airport Authority regarding his current employee’s interest in leasing Aerocenter in it’s entirety. The company is interested in bringing all of their aircraft to one area, open an FBO and run it in conjunction with the city’s facility. They are interested in producing a corporate lounge, high end offices, and to fix up the building as well as add on to the current building. Dan Evans advised Mr. Werme to review the recent lease requirements and changes. He understands that even though they are interested in investing to improve the facility they are not expecting a thirty year lease. He is aware that the last tenant had obtained a five year lease with an option to get out of it. No fuel facility or maintainance. All current tenants would be considered and would be able to keep their space if they desire. Trina Sweet reiterated that the process for leasing Aerocenter would be slightly different than the normal lease process in that we would have to appraise the building and advertise for lease proposals. Trina Sweet advised that Mr. Werme would have to write a letter of intent. Mr. Werme also mentioned that his company would bring in new companies until they got on their feet and would move on, in other words, a multi-service facility. Dan Evans agreed that the next step would to have to be for Mr. Werme to deliver a letter of intent.

II. AGENDA ITEMS:

PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA AUTOCROSS 2009 PROPOSED SCHEDULE

Bill Riley of Porsche Club of America was present to introduce their 2009 schedule. All events would be using taxiway “B” as they typically have done in the past except for the event on October 18, 2009. For this event, Mr. Riley requested closure of runway 2.2/04 for the entire day. Years ago this would not be a concern but due to the increase of tenants and visitors into the Zephyrhills Airport, this could cause a number of safety issues.

Larry Lynch advised the Airport Authority that with the help from the Civil Air Squadron this event could be done. Mr. Riley stated that the Porsche Club of America would be willing to add any required additional insurance and would compensate the airport and squadron for their services. Larry Lynch volunteered to talk to the City Risk Manager and arrange the event with Bill Riley. Trina Sweet recommended that FAA be contacted for procedures that need to be taken in order to alert air traffic of the runway closure.

The event on April 18, 2009 is also of concern since Sun-N-Fun is scheduled to start on April 21^st. Traffic will begin to arrive during the previous week of Sun-N-Fun, therefore, the Porsche Club will have to reschedule.

Ed Lark made a motion to accept the calendar of events scheduled for the Porsche Club of America except for the April 19^th and October 18^th events for further discussion. Larry Lynch seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

WWII BARRACKS UPDATE

There have been many concerns for the structural stability of the WWII Barracks before the Fire Department moved in. It has only grown during their eleven months of occupancy. Recently another main concern has come to fruition, a pest control routine inspection stated evidence of re-infestation and recommended treatment as soon as possible. Events for the 2009 calendar year have been scheduled. The Fire Department’s occupancy of the Barracks building encroaches on our usage. Dan Evans would like to see a WWII Barracks committee formed with Ed Lark and Trina Sweet. Many complaints have been heard from visiting executive pilots since we do not have an appropriate pilots lounge available. We believe that some have rerouted to Tampa North or surrounding airports due to this inconvenience. The City Council needs to be addressed immediately to find a solution.

Arjay Morgan made a motion to reschedule the January Airport Authority regular meeting for January 5, 2009 in order to be prepared to address the City Council January 12, 2009. Larry Lynch seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

III. COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Dan Evans stated that the Disaster Committee met and recognized that it was going to be a lot of work to put it together. The committee agreed to continue to meet monthly. Trina Sweet will gather plans from surrounding airports in order for us to get an idea of a plan of our own. The committee plans to put it together in basic segments.

The Audit Committee has noticed that there is a very wide disparity between LPA timelines and Carr Contracting. The city auditor recommended that we move forward and have an auditor go over the numbers.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

A T-hangar celebration will be scheduled during the month of January after all of the tenants are moved in. This will make it easier to send out invitations. The media will also be notified. Hopefully, this will inform people that t-hangars are available and we’ll be able to occupy the remaining t-hangars.

Paul Lopez requested a delay to the February regular scheduled meeting in order to get more information regarding his aerobatic box.

The Zephyrhills Golf Course is interested in keeping its lease. Mr. Doi is out of the country at this moment. We will have to request a formal payment agreement. The Airport Authority needs to pass it on to the City Attorney to put them in default. Ed Lark made a motion due to lack of payment to send to the city attorney to declare course of action. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

PROPOSED JPA - DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF AIRCRAFT WASH STATION

Ann Conley informed the members that the proposed Joint Participation Agreement, from the Florida Department of Transportation, is for an aircraft wash station, as provided in the Airport Master Plan. Oils and soaps would be filtered before going into the wastewater system, providing for an environmentally improved central location for washing. The wash station will probably be located on the backside of the fuel tanks.

II. AGENDA ITEMS:

AEROBATIC BOX PROPOSAL-PAUL LOPEZ

Trina Sweet presented the Airport Authority with a proposal from Paul Lopez to practice aerobatic activity in a specific location over the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport. The proposed aerobatic box would be used by Paul Lopez during a specified time communicated to Trina Sweet and a NOTAM would then be called in to alert other pilots in the area. Normal aircraft operations would have the right of way during these practice sessions. The Airport Authority suggested that an addendum should be included stating that the Airport Manager has control of the aerobatic box in case problems occur where the Airport Manager finds it necessary to close the box. The Airport Authority requested that Paul Lopez do further research pertaining to waiver application, NOTAM procedures, copy of addendums and procedures of other airports with aerobatic boxes.

Jim Spears made a motion to table this item until Paul Lopez presents the Airport Authority with the above requested items. Larry Lynch seconded the motion and was passed unanimously.

PEARSON LEASE ASSIGNMENT

Trina Sweet presented the Airport Authority with a copy of a proposed lease assignment for Pearson Industries who is interested in selling their two buildings located in the industrial park. The buyer would then assume the lease agreements and maintain the existing operations. A copy of the lease was previously presented to City Attorney, Joseph Poblick, for review but comments had not been received. The Airport Authority reviewed the proposed lease assignments.

Jim Spears moved that the Airport Authority accept the lease assignment as presented, contingent upon the City Attorney’s approval before presenting to City Council. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and was passed unanimously.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

Dan Evans expressed his interest to draw up a plan of disaster procedures for the airport. The Airport Authority agreed to meet at the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport FBO on October 31, 2008 at 3:00pm. Trina Sweet would notify the media to advertise for interested parties to attend.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Dan Evans presented the idea to the Airport Authority of developing an audit committee to compare LPA Group and Carr Contracting billable hours and expenditures for the t-hangar project. All Airport Authority members agreed to meet at the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport FBO on November 6, 2008 at 4:00pm.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

Trina Sweet advised the Airport Authority that the Monthly Financial Statement was not yet available from the City finance department.

Trina Sweet presented a final change order to the Airport Authority that was proposed by Carr Contracting in the amount of $99,439.62 for the additional items that the Fire Marshal requires. These requirements include improvements on the firewalls and grounding systems in each unit. The airport is not to pay for this change order. The last recommendation by the City Manager is that the City of Zephyrhills will be responsible for the additional funding. Carr Contracting has requested a twenty day extension to their contract time, which would show a new completion date of November 18, 2008. Dan Evans voiced concern about the first billable item on the change order of $800.00 for elevation changes. The LPA Group had previously agreed to pay this amount since it was a design issue. Mark Kistler explained that all items were billed to complete their paperwork for Carr Contracting and that the $800.00 fee would be reimbursed to the City of Zephyrhills by check. No action is needed by the Airport Authority since the change order will be presented directly to City Council.

II. AGENDA ITEMS:

PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL PARK SPEC BUILDING LEASE

Trina Sweet explained to the Airport Authority the plans to lease five acres located in the industrial park. Steve Spina was present for discussion. Mr. Spina described the plans that include a spec building of at least 50,000 sq. ft. for rental purposes. The City of Zephyrhills had advertised for a partner and received a partner in CLS Zephyrhills, a group of three individuals: 1) Lance Smith; 2) a contractor; and 3) a developer from Tampa. Progress Energy gave The City of Zephyrhills a $400,000.00 interest free loan to get the project started. This would be the first such project for Progress Energy in the state of Florida. They have previously made such loans to other municipalities but none in Florida. The loan will be paid back upon lease or sale of the building. Joseph Poblick had objections to the model lease. An email of changes to be made to the model lease were enclosed and discussed. Ms. Sweet advised the Airport Authority that Attorney Poblick’s issues had been previously addressed with all interested parties and agreed upon. Rachel Nash made a motion to accept the changes to the model lease as is to present to City Council for approval. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and was accepted unanimously.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

Trina Sweet requested time to present an LPA issue regarding updated specs needed for additional plans for the T-Hangar project. Carr Contracting has shown continuing concern regarding future erosion due to elevation problems surrounding the T-Hangars. Mr. Carr recommended to LPA that sod be used in some areas instead of seeding to limit future erosion. Mark Kistler, LPA representative, advised that the additional price would be approximately $4000.00. Jane Oparowski motioned to substitute the seeding in these specific areas with sod. Larry Lynch seconded the motion. Dan Evans added with the additional note to “not exceed” $4000.00. The motion was accepted unanimously. Ms. Sweet advised Airport Authority that if the amount acceded the $4000.00 she would not take it upon herself to accept the conditions. This would be brought back to Airport Authority for discussion or declined altogether.

Trina Sweet presented the Airport Authority the Monthly Financial Statement and the Fuel Report. Ms. Sweet pointed out that the budget would be off since the T-Hangars were figured in as positive revenue prematurely. Due to computer difficulties Trina Sweet will email a copy of the Airport Newsletter to each Airport Authority member.

Concerns were discussed about the fire department still using the WWII barracks as residence and whether City Council will approve billing the fire department for monthly rent. Steve Spina, City Manager, was present to explain future plans for the fire department. Options for a modular building during refurbishing the old fire department are being considered but due to the expense, it seems as though the fire department may be staying put until the fire department repairs are completed. Dan Evans brought up the issue of what monies are going to be needed to bring the building back up to standard once the fire department moves out as it was never meant to be used as a residential facility. Ms. Sweet mentioned the damaged culvert by T-Hangar 1 which the fire department has caused due to driving the fire truck over it. The culvert was not designed to support that much weight and has shown sagging and concerns for collapse. Mr. Spina made a note that this will be brought up at a later date. Ms. Sweet brought up Mr. Evans idea of billing the fire department monthly rent. Her concerns are not about income, her concerns are that we have no proper facility for visiting pilots. Pilots that are required to sleep between flights are sleeping on tables, benches, floors and in chairs. Steve Spina brought up the idea of perhaps a temporary pilots lounge at an office in Aerocenter but was reminded by Ms. Sweet that there is no furniture available in the empty offices. Larry Lynch inquired whether the WWII Museum was open to the public. Ms. Sweet affirmed that it is not. The entire barracks building has been utilized by the fire department since January.

I. TABLED ITEMS:

II. AGENDA ITEMS:

T-HANGAR FIRE INSPECTION REPORT

Trina Sweet reviewed the Fire Inspection Report with the Airport Authority which states that it’s in agreement with the Fire Marshal’s findings. All members of the Airport Authority agree that the plans were previously signed off by the Fire Marshal prior to the bidding process. Any additional work should not be necessary. If these additions are deemed necessary by the City Council, all financial responsibility should fall back to LPA Group. Larry Lynch motioned that the original design in which LPA Group recommended should be adequate and no further adjustments made to the plans since Fire Marshal Barnett approved them prior to the bidding process. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

T-HANGAR CHANGE ORDER

Trina Sweet presented a Change Order to the Airport Authority for the T-Hangar Project. This proposed Change Order included costs to raise the drainage inlets since it could be a safety hazard to tenants, flooding possibilities as well as concerns of erosion to this area.

Dan Evans expressed once again that any additions or changes to the plans at this time should fall back to LPA Group. Dave Carr of Carr Contracting stated that the work has been completed. Larry Lynch expressed that there seems to be a continuing problem with “malfunctions” which should not be the airport’s responsibility. Jane Oparowski reiterated that any additional financing of the T-Hangar Project should not be a burden to the airport.

Mark Kistler of LPA was present to answer any questions that the Airport Authority may have. Mr. Kistler stated that this adjustment was indeed necessary and LPA Group would pay the $800.00 bill but stands by the original design which was approved twice by the Zephyrhills Fire Marshal, Kerry Barnett. Mr. Kistler also stated that Dave Carr has worked diligently and has not done any work that has not been requested of him. Dan Evans accepted that LPA Group would pay the $800.00 for the elevation adjustments. No other action was needed.

AEROCENTER LEASE OPTIONS

Trina Sweet presented the Airport Authority with options of leasing AeroCenter to a single tenant. Ms. Sweet stated that the airport would benefit in several ways such as one tenant to bill, linemen availability to move planes and liability, and vacant offices would be used which would provide more income for the airport. The Airport Authority requested that Ms. Sweet research all information pertaining to present vacancies and history of single tenant at AeroCenter.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

Trina Sweet presented the Airport Authority the Monthly Financial Statement. The Fuel Report was not available for review but would be emailed to each Airport Authority member along with a copy of the Airport Newsletter.

Dave Carr of Carr Contracting requested a special meeting with Steve Spina; City Manager, Kerry Barnett; Fire Marshal and Bill Burgess; Building Official since each day prolonged production costs him money. Mr. Carr needs to address City Council for a decision to complete the project one way or another since the project needs to be signed off by October 28^th. Trina Sweet noted that she has requested on no less than three occasions for any changes/additions be made in writing by the Fire Department. No response has ever been received. Larry Lynch reiterated that Carr Contracting is not responsible for any adjustments that are necessary. The inspector’s performance is in question, not Carr Contracting or LPA Group. Trina Sweet advised Dave Carr to finish the project per original plans and move on. Dan Evans agreed that his work has followed the plans and that the Building Official can sign off a project so that Carr Contracting is not liable after completion without changes made. Larry Lynch advised that if he was concerned he could get a General Release of Liability Form instead of going to litigation. Go to the City Manager and City Council to state your case. Dave Carr stated that Steve Marlow, Esq. would be representing him at the City Council meeting scheduled for Monday, August 25, 2008.

Trina Sweet recommended that all Airport Authority members and LPA Group representatives be present at said City Council meeting.

T-HANGAR CHANGE ORDER REQUEST

Trina Sweet presented a revised Change Order to the Airport Authority for the T-Hangar Project. This proposed Change Order included costs to keep the originally designed metal flashing on one side of each interior wall and add concrete to the other side of each wall.

Mark Kistler of LPA was present to answer any questions that the Airport Authority may have. Dan Evans quoted LPA’s contract for this project, which outlines the services that LPA would provide for the City of Zephyrhills as well as for the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport. From his reading, Mr. Evans’ opinion is that LPA should be responsible for the design and also clarify any misinterpretation of the plans that they recommended. Mr. Evans suggested that LPA should be working to rectify this problem or be financially responsible for the corrections. At the very least, he suggested, they should be the persons contacting the State Fire Marshal’s office instead of the airport.

No recommendations were made by the Airport Authority to approve or disapprove the Change Order in the amount of $48,912.86, as the Authority did not approve the original Change Order.

Trina Sweet requested that the Airport Authority adjourn and accept the remaining items as informational, as no action was required at the time.

T-HANGAR CHANGE ORDER REQUEST

Trina Sweet presented a Change Order to the Airport Authority. This Change Order showed procedures and costs of what it would take to change the current installed curbing back to concrete.

During a recent site visit, the Fire Marshal noted that he did not believe the metal flashing/curbing meets the applicable NFPA code and determined that concrete curbing on both sides of each wall would be required.

In response to the Fire Marshal’s determination, Carr Contracting Services, Inc. has provided a Change Order for an additional $90,751.75 to change from metal to concrete curbing.

Mark Kistler of LPA explained that the Fire Marshal misunderstood about the curbing being on both sides of the wall. He also mentioned that other projects were currently being completed at Ocala and Sarasota locations with the same curbing method. It is up to the individual Fire Marshal’s interpretation of the code. The Airport Authority members questioned whether the additional curbing was even necessary. If so, who is responsible for the additional cost?

Larry Lynch made a motion to direct Steve Spina, City Manager, to request a test of the barrier with the Fire Marshal and to request a declaration from the State Fire Marshal on the design that has been approved. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

DAVID HAYES-SKYDIVE CITY LEASE PROPOSAL

Before Mr. Hayes addressed the Authority, Trina Sweet reiterated the plans for a joint workshop with City Council members and Airport Authority members pertaining to the current model lease agreement. All members will be notified via email with the specifics of the workshop.

Mr. Hayes presented his updated lease proposal, which included changes that were addressed during his meeting with Trina Sweet. Dan Evans voiced concerns about the wording “flight training.” Mr. Hayes stated that it involves the training for his new employees (pilots) in the training of operating their specific type aircraft, not to imply they would operate a “Flight School” at Skydive City.

Ed Lark motioned that with the change to the language of “training”, the lease proposal be presented to City Council, along with any modifications to the model lease agreement. Jim Spears seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

ORDINANCE #1014-08 T-HANGAR EXEMPTION FOR SPRINKLER ORDINANCE

Joe Poblick was present to answer any questions or concerns from the Airport Authority. Dan Evans reiterated that hangars do not have flammable items stored in them. The Airport’s Minimum Standards do not allow this type of storage; therefore, a fire in a hangar is very unlikely. Trina Sweet questioned Section 2, Paragraph B, and what “change of use” was intended to cover and how this would differ from new construction. Jim Spears interpreted “change of use” to be if a hangar were converted into a business, such as a restaurant or FBO. Joe Poblick agreed to that interpretation. Trina Sweet mentioned that after extensive research, she found that most Florida airports go by the NFPA guidelines and this information will be presented to City Council at their next scheduled meeting.

Ed Lark made a motion to accept the Ordinance with modifications to Section B, to clarify that “change of use” refers to uses not covered under NFPA 409. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

AIRPORT MANAGER REPORT

Trina Sweet presented the Airport Authority the Monthly Project Report and Monthly Fuel Sales Report and they accepted the reports as information. She advised the Airport Authority that Sun-N-Fun was once again a success and very profitable for the Airport.

ZEPHYR DEVELOPMENT LLC. SUB-LEASE TO EQUITY TRANSPORTATION

Rachel Nash motioned to take the item of Zephyr Development Sub-lease off of the table for discussion. Dan Evans seconded the motion.

Mike Prilliman from Prilliman Realty was present to answer any questions that the Airport Authority may have regarding the sub-lease to Equity Transportation. Joe Poblick stated that a change to the previously presented sub-lease had been made pertaining to parking. The sub-lease is signed by William Krusen and is sufficient as presented. Dan Evans moved to approve the sub-lease to present to City Council for approval. Rachel Nash seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

II. AGENDA ITEMS:

DAVID HAYES-SKYDIVE CITY LEASE PROPOSAL

Mr. Hayes presented a more in depth plan for growth at SkyDive City in order to obtain an extension in his current lease or renegotiate a new lease. Rachel Nash is concerned that we need to speak at length of the development and specifics of the extension since it will set precedent for future leases.

The Authority directed Mr. Hayes to renegotiate the lease agreement with the Airport Manager and bring the proposed lease agreement back for review.

BILL OPAROWSKI-AIRPORT MARKETING/RESTAURANT

Bill Oparowski addressed the Authority, pointing out that certain things, such as low fuel prices and restaurants entice aircraft traffic to any airport. He suggested that the FBO should be relocated to Aerocenter and that the FBO be transformed into a restaurant privately owned or for the city to hire in employees to run the restaurant. Trina Sweet agreed that a restaurant would be a great asset to the airport, but was not necessarily in favor of the City operating the restaurant or relocating the FBO to Aerocenter. Sweet pointed out that the FBO is located in an a central location to service pilot needs, including the fueling system, hangars, barracks building and maintenance facility.

No action was taken at this time, but the Airport Authority appreciated Mr. Oparowski formally introducing the idea.

ADTS-DRIVER TRAINING CLASS REQUEST

Trina Sweet presented a request from ADTS to use of a portion of Taxiway B on Saturday, April 26, 2008 to conduct a driving safety course. Sweet advised that ADTS has provided the required proof of insurance and will pay the established fee, and then recommended the Airport Authority approve the request from ADTS.

Dan Evans moved to approve the request, as presented. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

FIRE SPRINKLER ORDINANCE SYSTEM

Trina Sweet explained that the City of Zephyrhills recently adopted a fire sprinkler ordinance, which became effective in November, 2007. The new ordinance is more stringent than the NFPA standard and requires sprinkler systems in all commercial and multi-family buildings 5,000 sq. or larger. Through interpretation of the ordinance, the fire marshal has determined that this requirement also applies aircraft storage hangars. Sweet explained that this is certain to have a negative impact on future development at the airport and questioned the logic of including aircraft storage hangars under this ordinance, when the basis of the ordinance was one of life safety, assuming that a larger commercial or multi-family unit would increase the occupancy. Dan Evans spoke on the difference in material type and construction standards for aircraft hangars, then questioned the likelihood of having a fire in an aircraft hangar and the safety aspect of applying water to such a fire. Steve Spina addressed the Authority and indicated that in speaking with a perspective investor at the airport, he found that other governments have created specific exemptions for certain types of buildings such as aircraft hangars and agricultural buildings. Fire Chief Williams addressed the Authority in defense of the ordinance citing concern for the safety of firefighters and the lack of manpower and equipment in comparison to other regions.

Dan Evans moved to have City Council exclude aircraft storage hangars under 12,000 sq. feet from the ordinance, in accordance with the NFPA code. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and it passed four to one, with Rachel Nash opposed.

BARRACKS MUSEUM/PILOTS’ LOUNGE

Trina Sweet advised the Airport Authority that the extended living arrangement for the fire department in the Barracks Museum is causing interference with standard business at the airport. Sweet explained that the extended living situation has resulted in loss of use, not only of the Barracks Museum, but also the pilot lounge and conference room. Sweet suggested Aerocenter as an alternative which would be more suitable and comfortable for the fire department. Steve Spina and Chief Williams agreed to view the property.

1. ZEPHYR DEVELOPMENT LLC. SUB-LEASE TO EQUITY TRANSPORTATION

Mike Prilliman from Prilliman Realty was present to answer any questions that the Airport Authority may have regarding the sub-lease to Equity Transportation. A few questions were brought up by the Airport Authority regarding whether Equity Transportation will be able to meet the minimum standards set for the airport. Mr. Prilliman was not aware of the minimum standards and will stop by the airport to get a copy so that he can be educated on what the Airport Authority expects from the sub-lessee. Since Attorney Joe Poblick was not in attendance, an email from him was read by Nancy Morin. Mr. Poblick stated that the lease for Equity Transportation looks fine, but, he has questions and concerns whether their business complies with minimum standards. Patrick Graham stated that Attorney Joe Poblick needs to approve or disapprove the contents of the sub-lease. It cannot be submitted to the Airport Authority at this time as an actual lease since it’s not signed by Mr. Krusen.

Dan Evans moved that this item be tabled until Attorney Joe Poblick has completely reviewed and has made the appropriate changes to the sub-lease. It also requires a signature from Mr. Krusen (the lesser) to resubmit to the Airport Authority. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

3. AIRPORT MANAGER’S REPORT

Nancy Morin informed the Airport Authority of the amazing turn out for History Flight and the WWII Barracks demonstrations February 15-17, 2008. Spectators from the barracks would migrate to the FBO which resulted in a great deal of walk-in business for History Flight.

IFR traffic volume indicates a great need and if finances allow, Mr. Christian encouraged the Airport Authority to consider proceeding with investigation the possibility of implementation.

LPV not feasible now, but is needed badly for airport progress. He suggested an alternative LP approach. The board agreed to take his suggestions under advisement and research.

2. ROMA LEASE PROPOSAL

Trina Sweet presented a proposed lease agreement for a personal hanger for Ron Roma.

Joe Poblick questioned the rent amount, specific type of lease, CPI rate adjustments, grace period, maintenance requirements, deposit, default period and indemnification clause. The authority agreed that the cost of a new appraisal would not outweigh the possible increase of rent. Tenant tax responsibility was presented as another basis for lower rental rates. The model lease was approved to streamline the approval process and provide consistency. The authority agreed to address possible changes to the model lease in a future workshop. Dan Evan’s moved to accept the Roma lease as presented. Jane Oparowski seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
