1.         Proposed Ordinance – Amend 2010 Annual Budget – Airport Paint Sprayer

At the August 2, 2010 meeting, the City Council authorized the purchase of a LineLazer 5900 paint striper with rider attachment and bead system for the purpose of painting airport taxiways, markings and portions of runways.

This item has been approved for 50% State Grant Funding.  The City portion will be paid through Airport Reserves in the amount of $5,697.50 with the State paying $5,697.50. In order to increase the budget for this grant funding, an amendment to the 2010 budget is necessary. Attached is a proposed budget ordinance.

It is recommended that the Committee and Council place and pass an ordinance amending the 2010 Annual Budget in the amount of $11,395 for the purchase of a paint striper for the purpose of painting airport taxiways, markings and portions of runways and $5,697.50 for the State grant funding, on first reading.

2.         Final Project Review and Acceptance – Terminal Upgrade Project

The Airport Director reports the Minot International Airport Terminal Upgrade Project was completed on July 22, 2010.  The project was satisfactorily completed with one change order.  The change order was sent to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in May and will be applied to AIP Grant #3-38-0037-039-2009 with 95 percent funding and a 2.5% state and local match.  Construction was performed in accordance with the plans and specifications, approved change orders, and terms of the contract. Final payment will be with project closeout at a later date.

Fiscal Impact:  The total contract amount of $712,560.07 is applied to the grant with the Federal portion (95%) at $676,932.06 and a State and Local portion of $17,814.01 each. 

It is recommended that the Committee and Council approve the Final Review and Acceptance for the Airport Terminal Upgrade Project and authorize the Mayor to sign the documents on the City’s behalf.

3.         Removal of Airport Parking Meters

The Airport Director received a letter from ARM Parking, Inc. requesting the removal of the sixteen (16) parking meters located in front of the Airport Terminal Building. City staff supports this request.

According to records, the airport parking meters were installed in 1993, shortly after the completion of the terminal building and roadway.  In 1994, ARM Parking purchased the parking meters from the City and also took over the maintenance responsibility of the meters.

The removal of the parking meters will provide the following:

Fiscal Impact:  No fiscal impact to airport.

It is recommended that the Committee and the Council authorize ARM Parking, Inc to remove the sixteen (16) parking meters located in front of the Commercial Airport Terminal Building.
