The follow members were present: Richard A. Powell, Commissioner President, Roger D. Rose, Leslie R. Walters, Christopher D. Sailors, Council President, Earl Gaerte, Gary Sriver, Mike Gearhart, James Widman, and Auditor Denise Bonnell. The Fulton County Board of Commissioners and the Fulton County Council met with Jim Heyde, President of the Board of Aviation Commissioners. He introduced Bob Peterson, Vice President; Ted Waggoner, Secretary; and Jerry Lee, Treasurer. On September 24, 2005, the Board of Aviation Commissioners received a letter from AIRVAC resigning its management and underwriting of the airport as of January 1, 2006. He thanked AIRVAC for its contribution to the community for the last 36 years. He thanked Jim Ewen, manager, and Sharon Jones for their jobs over the years managing the airport. Jim Heyde noted that the airport budget had already been submitted when this letter was received, and it could not be changed, according to the State. Jim Heyde recommended the organization of an Airport Authority through a resolution. Alan Burke, Board of Aviation Commissioner attorney, described that an airport authority is the best way to manage and operate a public airport in Indiana. He reported that in a conversion to an airport authority the four members of the board would continue to be appointed by the Board of Commissioners and the County Council would continue to have fiscal supervisory authority. These two things would remain the same as it currently stands with a Board of Airport Commissioners. The changes would be that the Airport Authority would have its own authority whereby it would have its own tax rate, bonding powers, and more flexibility of devising methods for providing for its fiscal needs. It would also provide an additional layer of insulation between people who might potentially have claims and the County. The process of conversion would require a resolution from the County Council. The citizens are given 30 days for filing a remonstrance. If after 30 days, no remonstrance is filed, on January 1, 2006, the Airport Authority would come into existence. The budget would then need to be transferred by resolution from the Board of Airport Commissioners to the Airport Authority. Alan Burke presented the following proposed resolutions: RESOLUTION OF THE FULTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS WHEREAS, Fulton County has long been serviced by an airport and that has been overseen and operated by the Fulton County Board of Aviation Commissioners, and WHEREAS, Indiana Law provides that airports shall be managed and operated by a Board of Aviation Commissioners unless the CountyТs fiscal body should choose to establish an Airport Authority; and WHEREAS, after due consideration, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners is convinced that the operation and management of the Fulton County Airport by an Airport Authority provides fiscal and managerial advantages over the operation of the airport by a Board of Aviation Commissioners, and WHEREAS, the Fulton County Airport has been and continues to be a vital asset to Fulton County, and WHEREAS, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners believes that it would be in the best interest of Fulton County and the best interest of the most efficient operation of the Fulton County Airport to convert to an Aviation Board. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Fulton County Board of Commissioners hereby recommends and urges the Fulton County Council to adopt a resolution in favor of the establishment of an Airport Authority to control, manage and operate the Fulton County Airport, and the Fulton County Board of Commissioners further recommends the Fulton County Council adopt such resolution and implement the same as soon as practical. Dated: November 22, 2005 RESOLUTION OF THE FULTON COUNTY COUNCIL WHEREAS, Fulton County has long been serviced by an airport and that has been overseen and operated by the Fulton County Board of Aviation Commissioners, and WHEREAS, Indiana Law provides that airports shall be managed and operated by a Board of Aviation Commissioners unless the CountyТs fiscal body should choose to establish an Airport Authority; and WHEREAS, after due consideration, the Fulton County Council is convinced that the operation and management of the Fulton County Airport by an Airport Authority provides fiscal and managerial advantages over the operation of the airport by a Board of Aviation Commissioners, and WHEREAS, the Fulton County Airport has been and continues to be a vital asset to Fulton County, and WHEREAS, the Fulton County Council believes that it would be in the best interest of Fulton County and the best interest of the most efficient operation of the Fulton County Airport to convert to an Aviation Board, and WHEREAS, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners have passed a Resolution urging the Fulton County Council to adopt a resolution in favor of the establishment of an Airport Authority. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Fulton County Council, pursuant to the authority granted by Indiana Code 8-22-3, et seq. hereby establishes an Airport Authority which shall be known as the Fulton County Airport Authority, which Airport Authority shall control, manage and operate the Fulton County Airport which previously had been controlled, managed and operated by the Fulton County Board of Aviation Commissioners. Dated: November 22, 2005 Jim Ewen presented a list of proposed expenses for the airport. He gave a brief report of expected expenses for 2006. He reported that building insurance increased due to the assumption of extra buildings that were leased by AIRVAC. AIRVAC will give the Airport Authority its courtesy car. In 2006 the FAA would like the Airport Authority to purchase land across 400 East on the east end of the runway for a runway protection zone, which would preclude anyone building on property that would impede the clear zone. In 2007 they want to extend the runway to the east. This would accommodate the accelerate-stop distance of business jets. In 2008 the taxiway would be extended to the end of the runway. In 2009 additional taxiways may be constructed. He reported that to replace the underground steel tanks would eventually need to be replaced by fiberglass tanks. The Airport Authority would be responsible for 2 ╜ % of that cost with the FAAТs contribution of 95% and StateТs contribution of 2 ╜ %. He noted that as an Airport Authority, it can carry forward monies in an escrow account. He reported that the total proposed expenses would be $209,000, compared to the submitted budget of $116,000, without AIRVACТs support. Jim Heyde reported that this budget is outside of the County tax levy. He noted that the hiring of Jim and Sharon and their medical insurance has not been finalized. He reported that their responsibilities would be increasing with the change to an Airport Authority. He said that for 2006 the airport would ask the County Council for an additional appropriation for the balance of the needed funds for maintaining the airport. From that point, the Airport Authority would have its own taxing unit. The County and the Airport Authority would be partners for the first year (2006) and then the Airport Authority would be on its own. He asked that the Council and Commissioners approve the resolutions, so that the Board of Airport Commissioners can work toward an Airport Authority. The Council resolution is what is required, while the CommissionersТ resolution would merely show cohesion between the boards. The Council will present the proposed resolution in its next meeting to be conducted later this same day. James Widman moved to adjourn the meeting at 5:35 p.m. E.S.T. Chris Sailors seconded the motion. Motion passed 8-0. FULTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS _____________________________ _____________________________ Richard A. Powell, President Leslie R.
