REGULAR AGENDA
1) Discussion and possible recommendation to adopt the Yuma International Airport 2021 - 2025 and Rolle Airfield 2022 - 2026 Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) as presented.
Ms. Brown, the Airport Director, explained the ACIP process and presented the projects to be submitted to the FAA and ADOT regarding future development, rehabilitation and reconstruction at the Yuma International Airport.
After a brief discussion, the Committee came to a consensus to recommend to the Board of Directors to approve the ACIP for Yuma International for 2021 – 2025 as presented.
Ms. Brown, then presented the ACIP for Rolle Airfield Airport, which has its own Masterplan and infrastructure planning process. Since the airport does not qualify for FAA funding, the plan will be submitted to ADOT only once approved by the YCAA at the monthly Board meeting. Ms. Brown emphasized to the Committee due to the nature of our position as an Agent assigned to manage the airport on behalf of the County of Yuma, the YCAA does not currently qualify for ADOT capital improvement grant funding. Ms. Brown then described how the issue is being addressed by the City of San Luis, as well as the County of Yuma. Until this issue can be resolved, the amount of time remaining on the current agreement will not meet the grant assurance to accept funding if awarded. It is still in the best interest to submit the ACIP for Rolle Airfield.
The consensus of the Committee was to recommend the Board of Directors adopt the Rolle Airfield 2022 to 2026 Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) as presented.
2) Discussion and possible recommendation to authorize a Grant of Easement to the City of Yuma for 6,000 square feet of vacant land on the South side of 40th street West of the Pappy Boyington Hangar adjacent to Fed Ex for the purpose of constructing and operating a sewer lift station.
Ms. Brown, described to the Committee how the City of Yuma has communicated the need for a significant expansion of the small sewer lift station currently located on the South side of 40th street near the Fed Ex facility, on vacant land controlled by the Authority. The City has requested a perpetual easement of 6,000 square feet on the site which includes property currently available for lease, in the DCC between the Pappy Boyington Hangar and Fed Ex facility
After a discussion about the nature of the proposed facility and their intended location, further discussion ensued about its negative effects on the future lease and development of the parcel. The sound and smell of the expanded lift station may be problematic, and it was recommended to move it more westerly. It was the consensus of the Committee to propose an alternate site which would not have negative effects on future airport expansion.
Ms. Brown informed the Committee about ongoing discussions regarding an alternate location, which if successful would result in Airport Staff bringing the easement to the Board of Directors for consideration in the future.
3) Presentation and update regarding current construction projects, associated contracts, grant status, general aviation, marketing efforts, terminal improvements, aviation conferences, meetings and items of interest with the city and county or other federal or state agencies. This will include, but is not limited to, additional information, FAA and ADOT grant updates, an overview of projects underway, airport operations, Rolle Airfield, airline recruitment and retention efforts, general aviation, future events, and other Airport business.
Airport staff gave a general update on current grant and construction projects plus other pertinent activities to the Committee.
