Public Comment

No public comments were made.

Discussion and Possible Action Approving Revised Turner Hangar Land Lease from 80’ X 80’ to 70’ X 70’

Chmiel said Dr. Turner has been forced to reduce the square footage of his hangar to 70’ X 70’. After city approval of the East Hangar Development Area (EHDA), the state revised its building code for commercial structures regarding fire suppression systems. Commercial structures 5,000 square feet or greater must now have sprinkler systems. Turner said this would add $50,000 to the cost. Turner is requesting approval of a 70’ X 70’ hangar instead.

Mohr moved to approve. Rasmussen seconded and the vote was 7-0 in favor.

Discussion and Possible Action Approving Woldt Airport Access Agreement Proposal

Chmiel said that the airport committee had previously considered the concept of an airport access agreement. Such an agreement would allow a property owner adjacent to the airport to build a hangar on airport property and then install a pedestrian gate in the airport perimeter fence at their cost for direct access to the airport and hangar. The concept was tabled because there was no immediate demand.

Alan Woldt has interest in buying the William Markstrum property adjacent to the EHDA where he would build a hangar. His interest hinges upon an airport access agreement.

Chmiel supports Woldt’s proposal. Chmiel said that airport access agreements would encourage airport and aviation friendly neighbors and hangar development.

Prehn asked if an agreement with Woldt could set a precedent. Prehn said his concern is that if other adjacent property owners build hangars that they will want to have access to Woldt’s gate, which could get complicated. Chmiel said the airport access agreement holder would control who uses his gate. Adjacent property owners would be required to go through the same approval process and would not use Woldt’s gate. Prehn said such a gate would not be for public access.

Rasmussen said that aircraft owners who want to be on the airport are willing to construct private hangars regardless of airport access agreements. She said that airport security is enhanced with fewer entry and exit locations. She said allowing the access may not be worth the effort.

If Woldt buys the Markstrum property, his plan is to tear down the existing house and build a new one. That will increase the property value.

Rasmussen asked if BOA and FAA permission has been obtained. Chmiel said the BOA had been contacted earlier. A properly written airport access agreement could help with avoiding bad experiences.

Prehn said that the first property owner using the agreement will most likely not be a problem for the city but things could get messy with subsequent non-flying owners. Chmiel said time should be taken now to write and approve a proper agreement in order to be ready for a request in the future.

Rasmussen expressed concern regarding the image of having an airport access agreement between a private property owner and the municipally owned airport. The cost of the gate installation would be the responsibility of the private party. The city should get revenue but not have expenses.

Karl Kemper, an airport engineer, stated that this airport is not required by the FAA or TSA to have a security fence. Many this size in the area don’t even have a security fence. Kemper explained that if the hangar and house properties were sold separately, the city could immediately padlock the access gate. Kemper suggested that all such gates should be required to remain padlocked and secured at all times.

Rasmussen said she needs to see the economic benefits. She said it will require additional effort at an airport that already has a demand for hangars and it is not the airport’s responsibility to make area homes more appealing. Chmiel said there is a benefit to having more hangars built, getting revenue from each agreement and encouraging buyers to increase the value of the properties.

Diny said that he lived at a residential airpark in Illinois. The result was high-end homes and property values. There was never a problem with airport security.

Rasmussen said that a draft agreement should include an annual fee, the gate to remain secure, the property owner assumes all liability for those using the gate, and provides proof of insurance. She made a motion to direct staff to create an agreement for the committee to review and Chmiel should contact the FAA and Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics regarding airport access agreement policy. Prehn seconded. Smith suggested limiting the number of gates for security. Smith said his concern is with the additional people who the private property owner may allow access.

Motion carried unanimously.

Discussion and Possible Action to Approve Starr Proposal for Sewer/Water Installation in T-hangar #15

Robert Starr is the tenant for T-hangar 15, the only T-hangar that has been modified with heat and insulation. The previous tenant paid for the modifications and the upgrades were donated to the city. This work was completed with airport committee approval in the late 1980s or early 1990s.

Starr is wants to to install sewer and water service at his cost in T-hangar #15 for a bathroom. All modifications to T-hangar 15 would then become city property.

Alfonso said the city council would likely need to grant final approval.

Prehn made a motion to approve Starr’s request. Mohr said he sees additional issues to consider. The city owns the heating system. If Starr is gone for the winter (after the bathroom is installed) and the furnace fails, who would be liable for the damage caused by leaking and frozen water pipes that would potentially damage all 10 units in the hangar. Prehn stated the tenant would likely be liable and would have to have sufficient insurance. Mohr stated that right now, electricity is included in the cost of the hangar rent and Starr only pays for the gas.

Rasmussen said that the water and sewer utility bills would also be Starr’s responsibility. Mohr recommended that a separate electric meter would need to be installed for T-hangar 15 that would also be Mr. Starr’s responsibility. Prehn changed his motion to add that Mr. Starr would also be responsible for all utilities for T-hangar 15. There was no second to Prehn’s motion.

Rasmussen suggested that allowing modifications to the T-hangars would impede private hangar construction since it will be cheaper for T-hangar tenants to pay for modifications to city-owned hangars rather than build their own. She said no further modifications should be allowed on city- owned T-hangars. Diny seconded the motion and the vote failed 4-3.

Mohr made a motion that the airport committee should review the T-hangar 15 lease to assess whether the lease rate should be adjusted for utilities and modifications. Rasmussen seconded and the motion passed 7-0. Alfonso stated she would bring the current lease for T-hangar 15 for review at the next committee meeting.

Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Private Hangar Building Code Changes

Chmiel said Turner’s private hangar dimensions were modified because of state building code changes that required sprinkler systems and that greatly increases the cost. Chmiel invited Bill Hebert to address the committee to present any possible alternative methods of compliance. The whole reason the east hangar development area was created was to encourage large hangar development greater than 5,000 square feet. These code changes could have great negative impact on hangar growth.

Hebert explained that the city follows the state commercial building code, so there is no “wiggle room”. Every private hangar at the airport has been built under the commercial building code. Even though the hangars can only be used for private purposes, commercial code is required for buildings constructed on Wausau airport property. Most hangars constructed on airport property are “type 5B” buildings. Under the code the state adopted in 2015, type 5B buildings exceeding 5,000 square feet of aircraft storage area must be sprinkled, unless firewalls are installed in areas of the building containing bathrooms, and offices. Firewalled rooms may then reduce the aircraft storage area to under 5,000 even though the footprint of the building may be greater.

Hebert stated another method of compliance would be to build a “type 5A” building. Everything on a 5A building would have a greater thickness of drywall. This also increases the cost of the building. Hebert stated that he believed most of the hangars already constructed at the airport might be 5A compliant. A hangar built under 5A could be built up to 8,000 square feet.

No further action taken.

Consider Minutes of Previous Meeting, September 2018

Peckham had recommendations for changes to the minutes of the previous meeting. Peckham reminded Chmiel that he should investigate the committee’s recommendation for snowplow clearance from T-hangars and private hangars and place on the next committee meeting agenda. On the third page, second paragraph, change “2017” to “2018”. With regard to racing at the airport change “change” to “chance”. Change “NOTAM” to “Notice to Airmen”.

Peckham asked if a funding source for a terminal building upgrade feasibility study had been decided on. Groat stated that the city has budgeted for it in the DPW budget. Mohr made a motion to accept the minutes with the edits suggested by Peckham. Smith second. All approved.

ASOS Facility Relocation and Jet A Fuel Farm Project Updates

Chmiel said the ASOS and Jet A Fuel Farm Project have been approved as part of the 2019 CIP budget. Chmiel said he will pursue FAA financial assistance with the fuel farm project since this will be a “new” farm in a “new” location on the airport, which is a key to FAA funding eligibility.

East Hangar Development Area (EHDA) Project and Learn Build Fly Education Center Updates

Kemper encouraged the committee to tour the EHDA. The project included repaving of the airport parking lot. The project is 95% complete. Only taxiway and taxi lane centerline painting and vehicle and man gate installation remain. The gates should be installed in October, and painting will begin within the next two week

Kemper said the city will be happy with the new sewer installation and the electrical upgrades, which were able to be included in the cost of the FAA, funded project. Even though this was phase I of the EHDA, many of the electrical and water upgrades paid for with this project are actually part of the phase II project. Chmiel complimented Kemper on a job well done. The Learn Build Fly hangar is 90% complete. No further action taken.

Airport Manager Report – Chmiel

Chmiel presented the report and it was placed on file. Chmiel said the oldest Annual National Women’s Air Race would be using Wausau as a stop on their course in 2019. Peckham questioned why the aircraft rental totals fluctuate so dramatically from month to month and year to year. Chmiel stated much depends on weather, season, economy and summer vacation. Chmiel anticipated that rental totals should increase once the new youth aviation programs take hold. He said BOA representatives say the youth programs are the premiers in the state. Chmiel is working with the to introduce college-accredited aviation programs.

Prehn recommended Chmiel report back to the committee about taxation status of hangars at airports. Loss of the private hangar revenue could be devastating to the airport budget. Prehn said it is important the airport stay ahead of that.

Airport Budget Review – Groat

Groat said that the 2019 revenue budget is slight higher than previous years. Expenses are also slightly higher due to the kitchen & bathroom project in corporate hangar #4. In net assets or operating loss, we are $10,000 behind because of depreciation. Overall the airport budget is healthy, aided by growing revenue from private hangar construction.

Mohr moved to adjourn, second by Smith. Motion carried unanimously at 7:34 p.m.

Submitted by John P. Chmiel, Airport Manager Memorandum

From: Jamie Polley, Wausau/Marathon County Parks, Recreation & Forestry Director Eric Lindman, Director of Public Works and Utilities Tara Alfonso, Assistant City Attorney

To: Airport Committee Chair Date: November 12, 2018 Re: Staff comments on Pond Hockey Tournament Using Airport Property

Purpose: To provide you with information regarding the request to hold the pond hockey tournament on Airport Park property on January 11‐13, 2019.

Information:

1. Background The pond hockey tournament began eight years ago as an event at Sunny Vale Lake. Due to safety concerns the tournament was moved to Marathon Park two years ago. The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department works in coordination with the Wausau Central Wisconsin Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) to set up for this event each year. The event requires 12 pond hockey rinks to be constructed. While the event was held at Sunny Vale Lake the event was a partnership between the CVB, Parks Department and Wausau Youth Hockey. When the event was moved to Marathon Park the partnership was changed and the Parks Department charged $2,500 to the CVB for a small portion of the labor costs to build the 12 rinks. The cost to the CVB was increased to $5,000 in 2017 via a signed contract. The Parks Department labor costs are approximately $6,500 per year. As of today the CVB has not paid the 2017 bill.

2. Coordination The CVB has begun the coordination with the Parks department and City Engineering department to set up the rinks for the January 11‐13, 2019 tournament. City engineering staff has completed the rink layout and the Parks Department is preparing to start the rinks soon. The request to move the tournament to another location 60 days prior to the event is a decision of the CVB and has not been discussed with staff outside of the Airport. To date there has been no communication among staff (Airport, Engineering, Parks) on the change of this tournament.

Staff has been told the idea to move the tournament to an alternate location is due to the cost to run the tournament. Last week staff requested a budget break down from the CVB to see where the Parks Department costs fall within the overall cost of the tournament. It would be

the determination of the City to determine costs for the use of the Airport property. Park Department costs would remain the same if the Parks Department would be requested to build the rinks at another location within the City or County.

In addition, the County updated the electrical near the grand stand area in Marathon Park in large part because of the fair however the County considered the use of the electrical by the pond hockey tournament and incorporated that into the electrical upgrade plans.

3. City Engineering and Public Works Staff (ERIC) I was contacted by the organizer of the event last week and he asked if the “city” could assist with setting up the rink at the airport. I have not had any contact with the airport and there have been no official requests (i.e. event permits) to host a pond hockey tournament at the airport. Engineering staff have already completed the layout staking of the ice rinks at Marathon Park and the site is ready to be built.

Placing a 300’x500’ set of ice rinks at the airport without prior notice may create significant issues with snow storage and removal. No sets of plans showing the location of the rinks, ingress/egress to the rinks, or hangars to be used have been sent for our review to help us determine what would be feasible. This is a significant undertaking and something our staff would need more time planning. I would recommend the CVB hold the tournament at Marathon Park in 2019, any changes/approvals should be requested for the 2020 season.

4. Non‐aeronautical Use of Airport Property. (Alfonso) An airport operator that accepts federal airport grants agrees to the conditions and assurances contained in the federal grant agreements. These assurances include the obligation to use the airport property, hangars, and other designated aeronautical facilities on the airport exclusively for aeronautical purposes. Given that requirement, such a use carries considerable potential for violating the grant assurances. While the Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics (“BOA”) has approved certain community type of activities at this airport and perhaps others in the State of Wisconsin, written approval would need to be sought in advance from the BOA. The City Attorney’s Office’s understanding is that the Airport has requested and been granted annual permission for the combination Balloon and Ribfest and that event is viewed by BOA to be aeronautically related. Violation of federal grant assurances can result in denial of Airport Improvement and assessment of civil monetary penalties.

The FAA’s Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue (64 Fed. Reg. 7696; February 16, 1999) provides several examples of unlawful revenue diversion. Some of these examples include:

• Paying in excess of the value of goods or services the airport receives; • Improper cost allocations; • Charging less than fair market value rental rates to nonaeronautical users, including the sponsor itself; • Directly subsidizing air carriers; • Using airport revenue for general economic development activities; • Paying for marketing and promotions not related to the airport; • Loaning money to other entities at less than prevailing rates; and • Using airport revenue to participate in some types of community events.

5. Consideration The Committee is asked to consider the timing of the change for the 2019 tournament. This request may be best to consider for future years. If the change is going to be made for January of 2019 the Parks Department will stop the process of building the rinks at Marathon Park however due to the short notice the Parks Department will not be available to construct the rinks in another location if requested.

G. AIRPORT PROMOTION

● WFS is partnering with Learn Build Fly and the Wausau School District to create college accredited aviation courses at the high school level. Courses will be offered to prepare students to earn their private pilot certificate and instrument ratings before graduation. The courses will be offered as part of the Virtual Classroom and offered to Wausau East/West, DC Everest and Mosinee High school students. We are currently working with Fox Valley Technical College in Oshkosh where students are able to earn their bachelor degree through an agreement with UW Oshkosh. ● “Model Airplane Night” (MAN) currently has 10 kids participating. MAN is organized by Wausau Flying Service, Inc. for Learn Build Fly . The annual activity will have four different models built over the year starting with basic free-flight models, then U-control and eventually radio control. Kids will have the opportunity to build their own airplanes. There will be a reasonable fee to cover costs. Model Airplane Night is a family activity. We highly recommend that parents participate with their children who are under age 12. Model Airplane Night is an event created to expose kids to aviation & aircraft modeling. We have full sponsorship for the first year from Kocourek Automotive, Becher Hoppe Engineering, Learn Build Fly, and Wausau Flying Service, Inc. ● We are in the process of planning the next “Drone Racing Event” at the Wausau Airport. The goal is to grow this event into an annual community airport event which will showcase drone flying, R/C model airplane/helicopter airshow, and a military drone display. The hope is we can plan the first big model airplane airshow in August of 2019. Our hope is that we can arrange to have the military drones fly-in for the event and perform demonstrations during the day. We are currently trying to encourage the Wausau R/C Sportsmen to consider moving their annual airshow back to the Wausau Airport as it was back in the 1990’s. ● “Run the Runway 5K” planned for October 2018 by the Southeast Side Neighborhood Group raised $1700 for local causes. ● “Learn, Build, Fly” has gained 501 (C)(3) status. The group is building a Wittman Buttercup. Building meetings take place on Tuesday evenings and Sundays. The goal is to build aircraft and introduce adults and youth to aviation and homebuilding. About 30 people are active in the organization. ● Boy Scout Troop 465 sponsored by Wausau Flying Service, Inc. meeting weekly at the airport. ● The Southeast Side Neighborhood group meets on the 3rd Monday monthly at the airport. ● Civil Air Patrol holds all bi-monthly meetings at the airport. ● Wausau R/C Sportsmen holds monthly meetings at the airport September through May and they now hold their meetings in the new Learn Build Fly facility. ● The AirVenture Cup Race returned to the Wausau Downtown Airport in July of 2018. Over 70 aircraft participated in the 2018 race including Wausau Downtown Airport tenant and first year air racer Dave Conrad. ● Please check out Flywausau.com and Wausau Downtown Airport FB page are being updated regularly. ● Sign-Up now for our monthly email newsletter “CONTACT”
