U. STAFFS COM311ENTS ON THE LIST OF PRIORITIES AS OUTLINED IN THE
JUNE 14,1993 LEITER TO COUNCILMAN JIM LANE FROM THE MEACHAM
FIELD TENANTS ASSOCIATION (Letter is Attached)
PRIORITY
1. Dedicate all revenues produced by Meacham Airport to the Department of Aviation
Operating Fund. Other revenue sources...
STAFF COMMENTS: City Council Policy Decision. Staff does not recommend that
this be done. Other revenue sources should be explored, see IV of this report. The
operation of both Spinks and Meacham Airports are under the overall management
of the Director of Airport Systems. As a result of the management agreement at
Alliance Airport with Pinnacle Air Services, the City will not have to expend City
funds for the operation of Alliance. The use of funds from the sale of GSIA is
explained in section V of this report.
2. Provide adequate personnel and equipment to maintain Meacham Airport.
STAFF COMMENTS:
A. Personnel
Meacham Airfield Maintenance is staffed by six (6) full-time personnel (this
includes one (1) master electrician). Three (3) temporary staff are utilized
during the six months April through September.
Meacham Building Maintenance is staffed by four (4) personnel on rotating
shifts responsible for the Meacham building and outdoor landscaping for the
Meacham Terminal, the FAA Automated Flight Service Station facilit
Hangar 5 North. OFFICIAL RECORD

4. Initiate Phase II of the Meacham Airport Master Plan.
STAFF COMMENTS: At the present time,our most critical needs are to address the
maintenance,reconstruction, and rehabilitation of the airfield. Using local matching
funds to focus on improvements to the airport infrastructure is more important and
of a higher priority at this time. It would be more appropriate to fund air side
maintenance requirements before spending any additional monies on the MasterPlan.
A probable date to fund Phase 11 of the Master Plan would be in FY 95/96.
5. Maintain Runway 16L/34R.
STAFF COMMENTS: The City will perform approximately $35,000.00 on joint
repairs this year. A consultant has been selecteii'to design the reconstruction of the
runway and add shoulders. Additionally, inspection and work on the storm dminage
system will be performed this fiscal year. A pre-application for FAA funding has been
on file since 1991.
6. Reconstruct Runway 16R/35L, Taxiways "E" and foul$.
STAFF COMMENTS: The engineering consultant will complete the final plans and
specifications in three weeks. Subsequently, they will be reviewed by the City
Department of Engineering. The FAA has this project high on their funding list for
this FY and will fund as soon as funds are available. Advertisement for bids will
occur upon securing an FAA grant.
7. Obtain an ILS for Runway 34R.
STAFF COMMENTS: The ILS is currently in the FAA/FE program for FY 94
funding. Once funded, the availability of equipment will dictate when the ILS will
become operational. The latest projections from the FAA will have the second ILS
operational by no later than early 1996. After FY 94 funding, we will work closely
with the FAA to have it installed in either 1994 or sometime in 1995.
8. Develop a marketing program.
STAFF COMMENTS: We are currently working on promotional materials to use in
our marketing efforts. Funds in the FY 93 - 94 budget would be needed to print
system brochures and for national advertising.

9. Give Meacham an overall face lift.
STAFF COMMENTS: In November 1992,the airport began an on-going beautification
program of landscaping,grounds maintenance and work inside the terminal building.
Staff will continue to work the public areas within available funding. Staff is also
working with other City departments to insure that Main Street areas are
maintained. Tenants are required by their leases to maintain their leased areas.
10. Retain the Department of Aviation (DOA) Runway Sweeper.
STAFF COMMENTS: The runway sweeper is permanently located at Meacham and
will-be retained here to support the Meacham aiid Spinks Airports.
11. Extend Long Term Leases.
STAFF COMMENTS: It would be inappropriate to extend the leases based upon the
argument that the airport has not been properly maintained. The fact is that all
areas of the airport have remained open throughout the years. During this year,
26,000 LF of crack sealing the main taxiways was completed this year, and
engineering companies are being selected to design rehabilitation projects for the near
future. Some leased areas have deteriorated more so than the public areas. The
leases and the airport minimum standards require the leased areas to be maintained.
12. Reconstruct portions of Taxiway Kilo ("K").
STAFF COMMENTS: This work will be advertised shortly using DOA operating
funds. Work will include the replacement of concrete sections in the area and joint
sealing.
13. Enterprise zone.
STAFF COMMENTS: City Council Decision.
14. Resurface Main Street.
STAFF COMMENTS: The City has completed the overlay of Main Street from 14th
Street to 23rd Street. The design work for the reconstruction portion of the project
has been completed. We are now waiting for utility clearance. It is the City's desire
to coordinate this project with the EDA project for two reasons. One reason is for the
possible consideration for the local match'with the EDA grant and second is not to
have construction equipment required for the EDA project to be running over newly
constructed Main Street. If the EDA project is delayed fu ari rel er the
schedule for the Main Street project.

STAFF COMMENTS: The City Council has approved the FAA Part 150 Noise Study
for the Meacham Airport. This study identifies alternatives to mitigate the noise
problems. Once the FAA has reviewed and approved the study, the City may apply
for funds to implement the recommended alternatives. The earliest we can anticipate

The only City operated vacancies at Meacham Airport are hangar 5N and office facilities in
the Terminal Building. Most of the land on the airport is leased to the fixed base operators
(FBO). The FBO's have built hangars on their leased property and subleased them to their
tenants.
V. USE OF THE REVENUE FROM THE SALE OF THE GREATER SOUTHWEST
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (GSIA)
On May 8, 1979,the City Council approved M&C G-4167 which established the following four
priorities for the use of funds from the sale of GSIA.
1. Resolve all appropriate claims of the federal government as to
use of proceeds;
2. First additional proceeds (after federal claims) go into a fund to
defease any outstanding revenue bonds ($3,865,000.00 as of
April 30, 1979);
3. Next additional proceeds repay General Fund advances
($10,635,382.00 to the Airport Fund) to be placed in the Capital
Projects Reserve Account);
4. Any additional proceeds go into Capital Projects Reserve Account and
be earmarked specifically for future airport improvements.
The City has fulfilled the first two priorities in the following manner: First Priority Resolve
Federal Government Claims, reference attached letter from FAA dated May 2, 1984. The
Second Priority, "Defease any outstanding revenue bonds ($3,8965,000.00 as of April 30,
1979)was fulfilled when the bonds were defeased. The third priority required the repayment
to the General Fund for the advances to the Airport Fund which totaled $10,635,382 on May
8, 1979. Since that date, the General Fund has advanced the Airport Fund an additional
$2,693,000 for a total advance of $13,328,382. To date, the General Fund has been
reimbursed $3,779,079 from the proceeds of the GSIA sale. All of the remaining GSIA
payments,expected to total$6,347,996,may be used to repay the General Fund in accordance
to the third priority. A total of$10,107,100 of the GSIA sale proceeds have been used for
airport projects.
Should the City Council need additional information on this issue, it will be provided upon
request.

The Honorable Jim Lane

President, Texas Avionics Fort Worth TX 76106
Location A N
Meacham Field
REED PIGMAN Door Councilman Lane:
President, Texas Jet Meacham Airport, according to a 1988 study, generates an economic
Location 23 N impact of over $118,000,000 annually and is responsible for causing
Meacham Field over 1300 jobs in this area. This study does not include Page Aviet's
DON HANSEN impact, so the actual benefit probably exceeds $150,000,000 per year.
President, Sonc(piper Airport Inn We ore extremely pleased that you appreciate the significance of
Location I S Meacham Airport's economic impact to our community.
Meacham Field For many years, the tenants and users of Meacham Airport hove asked the
City to maintain and improve our Airport so it could continue to serve the
DON McMOY commercial and general aviation entities that use the airport. Many of the
President,Stricies Jet tenants have charged that the City was allowing Meacham Airport to dete-
riorate and that our businesses were being negatively impacted because of
Meacham Field the City's neglect. Instead of hiring professional management over the post
fifteen years, the City has generally appointed inexperienced City employ-
ees to manage Meacham Airport, these actions taken by the City to resolve
personnel problems in other departments.
Meacham Airport's condition deteriorated.
An FAA inspection a couple of years ago agreed and threatened to cut off
funding if the City's maintenance of Meacham Airport did not improve.
City Manager Bob Terrell even agreed with the tenants when, in Informal
Report to City Council Members No. 7709, he states that, "the City's air-
ports have experienced deferred maintenance and delayed improve-
ments...These actions have hod a negative impact on the operation of the
airports."
However, Mr. Terrell is quick to recommend that Alliance Airport be given
preferential treatment when he states, "Alliance Airport must be maintained
at a high enough standard that it will be attractive to businesses...mainte-
nance of the Alliance Airport should not be sacrificed even during fight
budgets."
This discriminatory treatment Meacham Airport has received causes grove
concern to Airport tenants, users and the many off-airport businesses that
are supported by Meacham Airport. If the City does not take immediate
and positive steps to rectify the deteriorating condition of Meacham
Airport, the value of the investments made by Meacham's tenants and the
City's taxpayers will continue to diminish. The tremendous economic
impact of Meacham to the community will decrease further.

MEACHAM FIELD ASSOCIATION
The hiring of Andy Rivera as Director of Airport Systems and the reassignment of Gary Curtis to
Meacham Airport are excellent first steps. They both have Meacham Airport's best interests in mind.
However, we believe the lack of care the City has given Meacham Airport has been due mainly to
the inappropriate direction that the City Manager's office and the City Council have given to the
inexperienced previous Airport management. The emphasis from the City has been on spending as
little as possible rather than doing what is necessary to protect Meacham Airport as a valuable asset.
Therefore, we request that the City aggressively pursue the following extremely urgent items:
DEDICATE ALL REVENUE PRODUCED AY MEACHAM AIRPORT TO THE AIRPORTS OPERATING BUDGET-
Include the $1.2 million in personal property tax generated by the Airport annually. This will give
Meacham Airport credit for the revenue it produces and will fund much needed improvements. We
request that this be accomplished in time so that the tax revenue can be included in the City's 93/94
budget. Other revenue sources include 1) leasing grassy areas for haying or other compatible agricul-
ture operations, 2) consolidating Spinks management with Meacham Airport 3) reducing manage-
ment level positions since Alliance is no longer in the City's airport system and A) transferring funds
from the sale of GSIA to Meacham Airport.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT TO MAINTAIN MEACHAM AIRPORT-
It is our understanding that five add_ itional main Wp=e psrsonnel (or equivalent overtime for existing
personnel) are necessary to properly provide routine maintenance while continuing the crack sealing
program recently initiated. It is clear that the current number of maintenance personnel is inadequate
to repair the damage done by years of neglect. We request that the additional personnel be added
by June 30, 1993 and that any necessary additional equipment be added by October 31, 1993.
BRING ALL TAXIWAYS AND RAMP AREAS UP TO A FIRST CLASS CONDITION -
Include tenant leased areas. This will provide a safe and neat operating environment for Meacham
Airport's users. By July 30, 1993, the tenants will submit a list of taxiway and romp pavement areas
needing rehabilitation. We request that the City complete this work by December 31, 1993.
INITIATE PHASE TWO OF THE MEACHAM AIRPORT MASTER PLAN-
This is necessary to plan for the future of the main runway and to determine the feasibility of a new
parallel runway. A new parallel runway could handle additional demand and serve as a bock up to
the main runway. We request that the City initiate Phase Two of the Meacham Airport Master Plan no
later than June 30, 1993.
MAINTAIN RUNWAY 16L-
This runway is the lifeblood of Meacham Airport. This runway is deteriorating, especially near the
south end. We ask that, by October 1, 1993, the City implement a comprehensive multi-year mainte-
nance program for Runway 16L that will insure that the runway will remain operational until such
time as a backup runway can be constructed.
RECONSTRUCT RUNWAY 16R -
This runway is in such a state of disrepair that it will have to be closed if not reconstructed within a
few months. Preferably, this reconstruction should be with concrete that could later serve as a taxiway
for a new parallel runway. We request that, no later than June 30, 1993, the City commit to fund
and obtain a commitment from the FAA to fund this project during FY 92/93.
,,rN AN ILS FOR RUNWAY 34R-
i 1 11
s improvement is necessary for the safety of aircraft operations. The City passed a resolution in
1991, requesting this ILS from the FAA. We request that, no later than June
obtain a commitment from the FAA to fund and install this ILS in FY 93/94. 0 ftift NO
CITY SECRETARY

MEACHAM FIELD ASSOCIATION
DEVELOP A MARKETING PROGRAM -
Use the Fall 1993 semester MBA students at TCU or North Texas to develop a plan to market
Meacham Airport and the services offered by the tenants. This plan should emphasize cooperation
between the City and Meacham Airport tenants, and should include a strategy to make our Airport
attractive to general aviation, air carrier, charter and air freight operators.
GIVE MEACHAM AN OVERALL FACE LIFT-
By August 31, 1993, clean the windows of the Terminal building, repair the fascia, and begin to
remodel and remove asbestos to increase the occupancy rote and income to the City. Point the exteri-
ors of other hangars and buildings as necessary and landscape by November 30, 1993. The ten-
ants will submit a detailed list of hangars by July 30, 1993.
RETAIN OUR SWEEPER -
Provide a dedicated sweeper for Meacham Airport. If used frequently, this sweeper will help to pro-
vide a safe environment for the users of our Airport. The City currently owns such a sweeper. We
request that it stay at Meacham Airport.
EXTEND LONG TERM LEASES -
Since Meacham Airport has not been properly maintained for over ten years, it is only fair to the ten-
ants to replace those lost years with a ten year lease extension for all long term leases, under the
same terms and conditions as when the existing leases expire. Include o provision to credit rent for
property tax on hangars as in the Page Aviet lease. We request that this be accomplished by August
31, 1993.
RECONSTRUCT PORTIONS OF TAXIWAY KILO-
This area of deteriorating pavement was reported to the City over two years ago. We request that
replacement of failing concrete in this area begin no later than July 31, 1993.
ENTERPRISE ZONE -
To encourage development, we request that the 200 ocre hangar oreo on Meacham Airport be
included in the City's Enterprise Zone by August 31, 1993.
RESURFACE MAIN STREET-
The condition of much of Main Street from downtown to Meacham Airport is deplorable. This is our
"front door" and is seen by the majority of business people who fly into and out of Meacham
Airport. Bond money for this resurfacing was approved several years ago. We understand the City's
desire to leverage the Main Street bond money to provide the City's match for the EDA funds.
However, the time that posses allows the condition of Main Street to worsen. We request that the City
aggressively pursue EDA approval and, if EDA approval is not imminent by July 31, 1993, we
request that the City begin the resurfacing project. We also request that the failing portion of Main
Street located adjacent to the Meacham Airport main terminal be repaired no later than July 31,
1993.
MITIGATE NOISE IMPACTED NEIGHBORS -
The noise study underway has identified churches, schools and residences that are impacted by the
aircraft noise at Meacham. Meacham Airport tenants and users wont to be good neighbors with the
community. We request that the City proceed with mitigating our noise impacted neighbors, with as
little disruption as possible to the local community. Soundproofing and the acquisition of ovigation
easements should be the prime method of mitigation. We request that the City proceed as soon as
possible with the installation of on engine test area for run ups to minimize the 14"T66t OR
bars. OFFICIAL RECD
