Call to Order/Introductions The meeting was called to order by Mayor Pro Tem Spinks at 5:30 PM. Mr. Spinks asked the members of the committee to introduce themselves.

Mr. Rairdin said that he has been at the Marion Airport since 1990 and has more than 1700 hours of flight time. He works with bible study software. Ray Brown is the CEO of the ESCO Group in Marion and has been very involved with the Chamber of Commerce and MEDCO. John Bender told the group that he is a civil engineer and has completed airport work for the Eastern Iowa Airport. He is retired from consulting and has seen many small airports after flying for his Rotary group. Bonnie Roth said that she has retired from Rockwell and is a flight instructor at the airport. Mr. Shaffer stated that he is also a pilot with IFR certification and runs the IFR flying club. Mike Goldberg is the current director of Linn County Emergency Management and is retiring soon. His career started in law enforcement before moving to county government. He has an extensive background in capital projects. ll. Approval of Minutes Not applicable to this meeting. lll. Discussion and Decision Items Selection of Interim Chair Mayor Pro Tem Spinks asked the group to select a chair for the next meeting. He explained that the ordinance establishing the committee specified both a chair and vice chair positions. Upcoming Project Briefing Mr. Pluckhahn outlined the selection process for a firm to perform engineering work for the airport. The immediate project is the design of the planned widening and resurfacing of the existing runway. A request for proposals was distributed that included that project plus general engineering services and/or grant funded projects for the next few years. This approach was suggested by the DOT so that the city would not have to go through a request for proposals on every project. One response was received and the firm would be asked to come to a future meeting and interview. Planning Director Treharne discussed the land use map and zoning ordinance update project. Housel Lavigne has been selected as the firm. He asked for volunteers from the committee to serve on the steering committee for that project. After the project briefing, Mr. Brown nominated Tim Shaffer to be the acting chair of the next meeting, which was seconded by Bonnie Roth. Motion passed with all ayes. lV. Adjournment With no other business, Mayor Pro Tem Spinks adjourned the meeting at 6:31 PM. .

  • The Lippisch Letter
    The Lippisch Letter October 2007 Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 33 A monthly publication of the Dr. Alexander M. Lippisch A Tale of Two Air Shows Chapter of the Experimental By Steve Ciha Aircraft Association, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I have always enjoyed going to Fly Iowa air shows. Many years ago, Chapter 33 was heavily involved with a Fly Iowa that was held Editor: David Koelzer at the Iowa City airport. It was well attended, had a lot of things for EAA Chapter 33 Officers kids to do, and a pretty good air show put on by some A-10 Wart- hogs. A few years later Chapter 33 was again involved with a Fly President: Randy Hartman Iowa that was held at the Cedar Rapids airport. While it was not as 319-365-9775 well attended, I still judged it to be a success. [email protected] Vice President: TomCaruthers I noticed that this year the Fly Iowa was to be held in Des Moines in 319-895-6989 late June. Since I had never been to the Des Moines airport with [email protected] either one of my airplanes I thought it a good reason to go. I kept my eye on the weather and it looked good so I planned the flight, Secretary & Newsletter Editor: cranked in DSM in the gps and took off. David Koelzer 319-373-3257 [email protected] Cedar Rapids departure handed me off to Des Moines and the flight in was easy and uneventful. I landed and expected to be directed to Treasurer: Thomas Meeker the air show flight line.
