OLD BUSINESS
Skaar and Knutson gave an update regarding the Civil Air Patrol building. The building is functional as
the temporary terminal. The City's building inspector has been out, as well as the City Engineer to
inspect the building. Interior finishing will begin after the State electrical inspector performs another
inspection.
Jerry Peterson, TKDA, gave an update on Phase II (Parts 1 & 2) project currently underway. By late this
week, the floor and foundation for the shortened hangar and maintenance hangar will be complete. By
late next week, earthwork and paving for the entire project should be completed.
The area between the two oldest hangars and on the south was excavated to approximately three feet
deep. Subdrains, dry material, geotextile fabric, and granular material were added to create a base for the
taxiways.
Electricity, water, and sewer utilities have been installed to the building site. It is anticipated that shell
construction of the terminal /maintenance hangar will take ten days, with two months to finish all the
interior work.
Work on the new fueling island is nearing completion.
NEW BUSINESS
Commission members discussed the status of the lavatories in the southernmost hangar building.
Commission members decided to allow these lavatories to be used until they fail. No significant
maintenance will be done to keep them working. In order to maintain the water supply to the former
maintenance hangar, a conduit will be run between the two buildings, which will allow a pressure tank
and wiring to be installed in the former maintenance hangar.
Commission members discussed the status of Gopher State Contracting and asked that TKDA work with
them to ensure they are as expedient as possible.
Commission members informed Jerry Peterson, TKDA, that pavement abutting the northernmost edge of
the existing apron be removed and re -laid, as the pavement was laid on a muddy surface. Peterson had
identified that piece and others that would need to be corrected before the final lift of asphalt.
Commission members requested that Peterson ensure D -rings on the tie -down anchors are correctly
configured.
Commission members agreed that the fence along the southern driveway should be removed.

Olson informed Commission members that the runway and taxiway was striped today.
Skaar informed Commission members that RCO (Remote Communications Outlet) equipment is not
available from Mn/DOT Aeronautics.
Olson distributed a draft lease agreement covering private construction of aircraft hangars. The draft will
be discussed at future meetings. Olson will send a copy of the draft lease agreement to the City Attorney
for his comments.
Commission members discussed the agreement between the City of Hutchinson and Tom Parker.
According to the agreement, Parker is to be provided water, sewer, and electricity utility connections.
Parker is covering the cost of the electrical connection to the new home site. That cost, according to the
Commission, is consideration paid by Parker. The Commission members were not comfortable making
significant changes in the agreement without having the facilities in use. Robert Hantge made a motion,
which was seconded by Jim Faber, to make no changes to the current agreement through 2000, noting
Parker's consideration for payment of electrical utilities to the house. The motion was carried
unanimously.
There being no further business before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m., upon a
motion made by Joe Dooley, seconded by Robert Hantge.
Next Meeting: October 25, 1999 at 5:30 p.m.
