A.Airport Day Planning: Subcommittee continues discussion from last airport day planning meeting. Staff asks about Main St. banner and what it should say. Committee goes over wording and group comes up with “Airport Day May 16” as the main body and underneath “free admission, family entertainment, food and rides”.
 
Wolske asks about how to proceed with a media campaign to advertise airport day? Staff states the flyer can be placed on the airport section of the website and at the Community Development office. In addition, a blurb can be placed in the utility billing “city source” flyer that goes into ever utility bill monthly. Doran had previously mentioned starting a Facebook page associated with airport day and she could assist with its development. Wolske will develop a flyer template and forward to staff in order to gain input from all Commissioners.
 
Committee discusses additional task that need to be accomplished. Wolske to contact Skillman in order to see if Bill can contact the Medford Civil Air Patrol to perform marshaling duties and assist with parking of general public.
 
Butler will work with the Rogue Valley Flying Club and Young Eagles to be part of the event and assist were needed. Butler to do more research with respect to having a couple food vendor’s onsite for lunch and the possibility of a display from the smoke jumper museum.

Committee discusses general parking and overflow parking. Staff believes the upper area above Sierra Romeo’s and Brim’s hangar can be used for additional parking along with the area between the FBO maintenance hangar and Sierra Romeo. Staff can provide cones to be placed as needed. Concern over helicopter flights and the upper parking area need to be addressed if Brim plans to take off from his hangar or from the ramp.
 
Wolske to provide email update in two weeks on required tasks. Wolske to create draft airport day flyer and forward to staff. Staff will forward to the whole Commission for comment.
