Transportation Security Administration Hurricane Preparedness Gainesville Regional Airport has been chosen to house emergency supplies such as food, water, generators and trailers required to support TSA staff at airports affected by hurricane damage. The inland location is strategic for distribution, with some protection afforded through distance from the Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.

Materials have begun to arrive, many of them housed at Florida Food Service, and staff will develop a lease amendment to accommodate this new TSA activity. RFP # Corporate Hangar Area Development The GACRAA Board has directed staff to expedite the RFP process to solicit proposals from parties interested in building facilities on sites identified for corporate hangar development in the recently approved Airport Master Plan Update. The sites are located on NE 45th Avenue behind the Kenn Air and Ali- Air hangars. A recommendation will be presented to the GACRAA Board at its December meeting.

The water management district has tentatively agreed to the proposal of recording the easement on Gum Root Park property. The City Commission approved recordation at its June 26 meeting if they receive $118,000 from GACRAA. The Commission must now approve Amendment # 2 to the Interlocal Agreement that the GACRAA Board approved on October 26. Edge Lights on T/W A and R/W 7-25 Aging cable and years of lightning strikes leave edge lights on T/W A inoperative. A FY2006 grant has been accepted from the FAA for T/W A lighting and the associated electrical vault. Reflectors have been installed on T/W A as an interim measure. A grant for 50% of the local match for T/W A edge lights has been received from FDOT. Temporary recabling of R/W 7-25 has been completed.

Financial Policy A new Financial Policy is needed to describe the Authority s financial strategy and accounting structure that is now in place. Facility Solicitation / Evaluation / Leasing Policy A policy is needed to describe how the Authority intends to go about leasing facilities it owns, and when competitive processes will be employed. A draft policy has been developed for the Facilities and Planning Committee to consider. ADS-B Installation Gainesville is one of five sites in Florida to receive new technology that will broadcast traffic information to aircraft. Installation of equipment was anticipated in Access Road Projects Funding for an upgrade to the existing access road to the airline passenger terminal, and an extension of the Airport Industrial Park road will be requested as a FY08 USDOT appropriations language earmark.

Substantial improvements, to include baffling, have been proposed by the association. Discussion with the City regarding the environmental status and responsibility for existing lead needs to take place. Port-A-Ports A variance for location within the FEMA floodplain will be granted once floodproofing improvements are made. The Airport now owns 5 of the 18 Port-A- Ports, all purchased from willing sellers. Air Traffic Control Tower Hours of Operation Hours of operation remain a concern because the Air Traffic Control Tower provides backup weather observation needed for air carrier operations. Staff has requested that the FAA consider additional hours of operation to meet the requirements of Airport tenants. Civil Air Patrol Aircraft Housing The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) has historically been given space to house their single-engine aircraft at Gainesville Regional Airport, at no cost, since the 1980 s. In recent months, there has been no aircraft assigned to the Gainesville unit, leaving the hangar that CAP occupies empty except for furniture and supplies. The CAP was asked to vacate the hangar since no aircraft is assigned, so that the T-Hangar can be leased to a waiting aircraft on the T-Hangar list. A letter was received on September 21 announcing an aircraft would be assigned to Gainesville in October, and that the CAP has requested a formal agreement for no-cost facilities to house their aircraft. Staff recommends this issue be considered by the Facilities and Planning Committee at its next meeting. UAC has offered to sponsor the CAP for meetings and storage of materials and equipment other than the aircraft.
