NEW BUSINESS: 6.A Priority List for the Susanville Municipal Airport Commission Discussion Item Mr. Godman, Public Works Director, presented a priority list to the Commission. Discussion occurred about the length of the priority list, decidedly the priority list will be one years’ time. Mr. Godman added Hangar #3 is one of the priorities on the list. Vice Chair Hrezo inquired about the status of Hangar #3. Mr. Godman explained we had money set aside for Hangar 3 and 4 repairs and that money has been spent. Mr. Godman notified the Commission he could go back to City Council to request additional funds for Hangar 3 to complete the repairs needed, estimated to be around $2,000. Vice Chair Hrezo asked to comment as a member from the Public, noting he is concerned the faults in the taxiways are widening, he is concerned his front wheel might stick in one. Airport Manager Steve Datema replied we are replacing the taxiways and it wouldn't make sense to spend money on repairing the taxiways if we are in the process of replacing them. 4  Commissioner Clark asked if we could do some crack sealing in the high traffic areas. Mr. Datema replied we do need about five miles of crack sealing that will need to be dealt with. Mr. Datema added there are two longitude cracks on the runway that will also need to be dealt with because the runway project is about 6-7 years away. Mr. Datema stated the striping was written up by the Cal-Trans inspection so that brings the striping up higher. Mr. Hrezo asked if the City can do the striping or would we have to hire someone else to do it. Mr. Godman stated we would have to bid out the striping for the Airport. Mr. Hrezo asked if lights could be placed where the trucks are fueling at night. Mr. Datema stated we currently have lights there. Mr. Godman stated next on the list is the Bathroom Project. Chair Tyndall asked when will the Engineers finish up on the plans, Mr. Godman notified the Commission that due to limited staffing resources in Engineering that work has been delayed. Mr. Godman stated the airport has about $7,000.00 left that can be used for the Bathroom Project and about $55,000.00 left in the other two CARES Act funds. Mr. Godman explained the CUPCCAA guidelines that the City has to follow. He stated the City is able to contract up to $60,000.00 anything over that threshold would have to go out to bid. Mr. Datema stated he can get some quotes to see what it would cost. Mr. Clark asked if the bathroom will be worked on next year. Mr. Godman stated he believes we are pretty close on having the plans complete, then will work on bidding it out. Mr. Hrezo asked if there is anything unsafe with the current restrooms. Mr. Godman assured him there was not anything unsafe, we are just upgrading appliances and updating the paint. Mr. Hrezo asked what happened with the potential of adding water tanks. Mr. Godman stated the Johnstonville Water System could not support filing tankers.

This replacement conformed with the rules that governed the CARES Act grants that the City had acquired in 2021, which was the most restrictive of the three grants. When the City submitted for reimbursement for this project from the FAA the FAA informed us that they had changed the rules governing these grants and would not reimburse this project. The City was able to cover the cost of the well project with a transfer from the Airport's available cash. The FAA suggested that the best route to take for using the grant money would be for employee costs, so currently staff is working on billing the FAA the full grant amounts based on past employee costs. This money will be placed in the Airport's available cash which could then be used for any projects that the City can legally fund.

After that the City will start the formal bidding process, this places a bid opening around the end of July, which means the bid could be awarded at the August 2nd City Council Meeting, but more likely the August 16th meeting.
