DISCUSSION:
Meacham International Airport (Meacham) is a Class IV, Part 139 Airport and is required to comply with all
Federal Aviation Adminstration Part 139 requirements. Meacham receives unscheduled commercial
charters throughout the year which require an Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) index to be
maintained 15 minutes before arrival until 15 minutes after departure.
The Airport Certification Manual update requires the airport to meet Part 139 Index-B requirements for
Logname: 55FTW ARFF VEHICLE Page 1 of 2
ARFF on a Prior Permission Required basis. Index-B requires one truck or two trucks to carry 500 pounds
of sodium-based dry chemical, Halon 1211 or clean agent and 1,500 gallons of water and the
commensurate quantity of Aqueous Film Forming Foam for foam production.
Meacham's current ARFF vehicle was built in 1995 and although it is still operational, it has far exceeded
its useful life and has become costly to operate and maintain.
The City will use revenue derived from gas well drilling for the City's 10 percent grant match.
The Aviation Advisory Board recommended approval of this action on June 20, 2013.
Meacham Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current capital
budget, as appropriated, of the Airport Grants Fund.
