  • Dekalb Taylor Municipal Airport Organizational and Governance Study by Sixel Consulting Group, Inc
    DATE: October 19, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor John Rey City Council FROM: Anne Marie Gaura, City Manager Tim Holdeman, Public Works Director Tom Cleveland, Airport Manager SUBJECT: Presentation of the DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport Organizational and Governance Study by Sixel Consulting Group, Inc. Executive Director, Strategy and Development, Jack Penning. Background The City hired Sixel Consulting Group, Inc. in January 2015 to research, report, and provide recommendations on the organizational and governance structures for the DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport (DTMA). The draft report was completed in June 2015, however, finalization of the report was delayed when the former Public Works Director resigned. Subsequently, the current Public Works Director Tim Holdeman was hired and has been involved in the review of the report. The report (attached) was provided to the Airport Advisory Board in September 2016. Sixel Consulting Group, Inc. Executive Director, Strategy and Development, Jack Penning presented the findings and recommendations of the report to the Airport Advisory Board during a special meeting held on October 4, 2016 (attached). The Conclusions and Recommendations section of the report (p. 44–53) lays out five goals. City staff agree that these goals represent short-term actions that will better position DTMA to take advantage of its assets and potential new business. Goal one is to facilitate better communication between the Airport Manager, Public Works Director, and City Manager by having one-hour meetings at least once each month. These meetings have been taking place since June 2016. Another key goal is to change the structure and purpose of the Airport Advisory Board.

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts
    6 Aviation Activity Forecasts 6.1 Introduction The development of aviation activity forecasts or projections for Florida’s system of airports is a necessary step in assessing the need for and phasing of future airport development. The activity projections presented in this Chapter are used in part to determine the role of airports within the Florida system, evaluate the ability of the existing system to accommodate projected aviation demand, and plan future facilities for the system. Furthermore, understanding projected activity assists airports, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Districts, and the FDOT Aviation and Spaceports Office (ASO) in identifying potential opportunities for the development of facilities at the local, regional, and statewide levels. In order to determine future needs, forecasts of based aircraft and general aviation (GA) operations were conducted. These two indicators are important in the evaluation of activities and capacity needs at many of Florida’s airports, primarily for the GA airports. It should be noted that commercial operations were excluded from this evaluation, as drivers of commercial activity at airports can vary significantly, often due to factors that are beyond an airport’s control, such as airline consolidation, route restructuring, and fleet modification. Commercial operations are forecast as part of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) Terminal Area Forecast (TAF) and by airports during other planning and financial analyses. The forecasts prepared in this Chapter use calendar year 2014 as the base year, as it was the most recent year in which a full year of data was available at the start of Phase 1 of the Florida Aviation System Plan (FASP) 2035.

  • 3 Airport System and Classifications
    3 Airport System and Classifications 3.1 Introduction One of the first steps in the system planning process is to identify the airports to be included in the system. States utilize different methods for defining the airports considered for inclusion in their state aviation transportation networks. Inclusion criteria could relate to ownership and use, while the impact of inclusion could affect funding eligibility or regulatory impacts. Once system airports are identified, further stratification or classification of facilities helps organize the system according to the types of users served and role in the statewide system. 3.2 Aviation Facilities in Florida A considerable number of aviation facilities are located in Florida. According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airport facilities data as of August 2017, there were 768 aviation facilities located throughout the state. These facilities primarily consist of airports and heliports; however, approximately 10 percent of the aviation facilities consists of gliderports, seaplane bases, and ultralight facilities. These facilities are made up of airports with different ownership and uses across six categories (see Figure 3-1): 1. Publicly-owned, public-use. Of all aviation facilities located throughout Florida, 104 are publicly-owned and operated as public-use facilities. These facilities are owned by counties or municipalities or through the establishment of a special district (airport authority). A significant number of these facilities were originally military installations that were transferred from the U.S. government to local agencies. Many of these airport owners have accepted state and/or federal grant funding for new construction, maintenance, or other airport improvements. The acceptance and use of these grants comes with certain assurances, one of which requires that the airport continues to be operated as an airport for a specified duration as determined by the FAA, typically 20 years after the acceptance and use of grant funding.

DKB-4331 Rehabilitate Entrance Road and Parking Lot/Rehabilitate Bituminous T-hangar Pavements Airport Manager’s Summary: This project was engineered by Hanson Professional Services Inc. and issued under two separate IDOT Block Grants 105 and 111. I am working with their accounting department and the City’s finance department to determine the final payment owed to Hanson for their services. 2. AWOS (Automated Weather Observation System) Airport Manager’s Summary: The AWOS quarterly/yearly inspection with the FAA inspector present occurred on Sep 29, which passed, and received the approval letter dated Oct. 15. On Thursday, Nov. 12, I contacted Frontier Communications regarding the phone line to our AWOS station, as it is not registering the phone prompts when I attempt to record a message at the end of the weather recording. A Frontier tech is scheduled to arrive Friday morning to troubleshoot and hopefully repair. On Friday, Nov. 13, a Frontier Communications technician arrived to troubleshoot the AWOS phone line. Burt assisted him in getting into the AWOS installation. The technician did replace a transformer box but upon further testing found that the line from the transformer to the AWOS control box has significant static when the switch is connected. I have performed a few test recordings on the end of the weather recording, and they have been successful.
