Park County Hazard Mitigation Plan Final Draft
PARK COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN FINAL DRAFT PREPARED FOR Park County City of Livingston Tow n o f C l yd e Pa r k AUGUST 2018 respec.com EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Disasters can strike at any time in any place. In many cases, actions can be taken before disasters strike to reduce or eliminate the negative impacts. These actions, termed mitigation, often protect life, property, the economy, or other values. The Park County Hazard Mitigation Plan addresses sixteen major hazards with respect to risk and vulnerabilities countywide, including in the City of Livingston and the Town of Clyde Park. Through a collaborative planning process, the Park County hazards were identified, researched, and profiled. The major hazards are each profiled in terms of their description, history, probability and magnitude, vulnerabilities, and data limitations. The vulnerabilities to critical facilities, critical infrastructure, existing structures, the population, values, and future development are evaluated for each hazard. Based on the probability and extent of potential impacts identified in the risk assessment, the prioritizations of hazards within Park County are outlined in Table ES-6-1 through Table ES-6-3. Table ES-6-1.

Minutes of the City/County Joint Airport Board Meeting, March 28, 2017
Minutes of the City/County Joint Airport Board meeting, March 28, 2017 . MEMBERS PRESENT: Ray Sundling, Chairman Don Wilson Hunter Michelbrink Noreen Burg, Secretary OTHERS PRESENT: Lance Bowser, Clint Tinsley, Quentin Schwartz, Russ Ferguson, JoAnn Ferguson, Steve Koontz, Darin MacKenzie, Ed Walby, Michael Klasing, Elena Klasing, Cody Wood The meeting was called to order by Chairman Sundling. Minutes of the March 2nd, 2016 meeting were approved as emailed. Robert Peccia & Associates provide engineering services to Airports and assist with FAA funding. Currently they oversee 24 airports in Montana. RPA’s engineer, Lance Bowser spoke to the group about the 3 main types of funding through the FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP). The FAA manages the aviation fuel tax program to provide 90% of funds for approved Airports on qualified maintenance and improvements projects. Non Proprietary Entitlements (NPE Funds) of $150,000.00 per year are based on need. Those funds require a 10% local match. NPE funds can be loaned to other airports on years we don't have a project. Currently the Mission Field fund owes Conrad 24,462.00 to be paid back with this years’ NPE Funds. We have borrowed from Conrad several times over the years. The NPE funds can only accumulate for 3 years without being used, so loaning them keeps the funds coming in. Funds are borrowed from previous years’ entitlements and are paid back with future funds. The Enforcement Project Funds are divided by the ADO (Aeronautical Division Office) in Helena based on a priority work for larger projects. Mission Field used those funds to help with the 2011 resurface project. -
Montana Airports 2016 Economic Impact Study
MONTANA AIRPORTS Y D TU T S AC MP 2016 C I OMI ECON Introduction Montana’s airports play an integral role in our transportation system by providing access to destinations within the state, throughout the country, and across the globe. Airports also offer significant economic benefits to our communities by supporting jobs; generating payroll; paying taxes; and triggering spending at local, regional, and state levels. The importance of airports goes beyond transportation and economics. Airports offer access, services, and other valuable attributes for Montanans that cannot always be easily measured in dollars and cents. Residents and visitors use airports for leisure and business travel, and airports serve as the base for a wide range of critical activities such as wildland firefighting, search and rescue operations, and training for future aviators. Airports are the starting point for aircraft that conduct utility inspections, provide medical evacuation services, and transport staff and executives for business activity. This Economic Impact Study analyzed the contributions of Montana’s airports to determine the benefits that airports provide throughout the state. This study updated the previous analysis conducted in 2007 and 2008. CLASSIFICATION OF AIRPORTS Commercial General Aviation Service Airports Airports MONTANA 1 AIRPORTS 2016 Economic Impact Study Methodology To better understand the value of Montana’s airports from the perspective of both economics and community benefits, the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) conducted a comprehensive study of the state’s aviation facilities. The study analyzed the contributions of Montana’s airports, including aviation- and non-aviation-related businesses, visitor spending, capital expenditures on construction, and additional spin-off (or “multiplier”) effects. -
Minutes of the City/County Joint Airport Board Meeting, April 26, 2016
Minutes of the City/County Joint Airport Board meeting, April 26, 2016 Members Present: Kerry LaDuke, Chairman Dennis Skattum Don Wilson Ray Sundling Noreen Burg, Secretary Member Absent: George Denton Others Present: Russ Ferguson, JoAnne Ferguson, Marty Malone, Dennis McIntosh, Mark Carmen, Steve Iobst, Tyler Youderian. The meeting was called to order at 12:00 pm by Chairman LaDuke. Minutes of the March 22, 2016 meeting were approved as mailed. NPS Gardiner Maintenance Agreement with Park County. 1. Discussion to recommend the Commission hire RPA Engineering to oversee the Gardiner Crack Seal Project. Kerry recommended that the board approve a cost plus agreement with RPA to ensure the work was completed according to FAA standards. Kerry felt that there are enough funds in the budget to cover those costs. Dennis Skattum stated that the since the National Park Service is donating the labor and materials we shouldn’t be too picky. NPS repair their own roads and have skilled workers. NPS is the main user of the Airport, so they would do a good job for their own benefit. Don Wilson felt that the engineering side could be deferred and the legal issue of closing the runway could simply be handled with the NOTAM and marking each end of the runway with an X. There was no further discussion on hiring RPA to oversee the Gardiner Airport project. 2. Decision to recommend signing NPS Gardiner Maintenance to Commissioners at 4- 28-16 meeting. RPA reviewed the Maintenance Agreement created by the National Park Service and had noted a few changes. -
