Michele Levy, 3021 Highland Drive, Carlsbad, suggested that the Council consider selling the Farmers Insurance Building to help fund the Joint First Responders Training Facility.

Kulchin - agree with Mayor. Need to do this and need to do it now. In full support of moving forward.
Hall - I think that through the whole conversation - we have to have the types of facilkities not only in this City, but also in the Region. Will support this tonight.

Am in support tonight to get the relationships and partnerships built.
No JPA's per Kulchin.

Airport requests that the City requires the Durkin applicant to file a FAA Notification Form for the project as requested by the FAA.
Packard - does the FAA consider navigable airspace including airspace below ground level of the runway? Mr. Nelson - runway protection zone is not defined by above or below runway level (elevation).
Lewis - this is a General Aviation Airport - now pursuing commuter aircraft. Transforming the general aviation concept into semi major airport.
Mr. Nelson - always had commuter, customs is new service.
Lewis - increased commuter service by quite a bit.
Haven't expanded airport runway at this time per Nelson. Referenced Mr. Willy Vazquez.
Willy Vazquez - commuters been operating since 1984 at Palomar. Currently operating two airlines now. Will be down to Skywest only tomorrow - was two airles (was Mesa too)
Airport is subject to business decisions of the Commercial Airlines. Must be available to airlines business decisions.
Lewis - because airport is confined to small area - is there a limit to how many airlies. Willy - limited by size of terminal building - can handle about 3 airlines - could do 15 departures a day. Are building a new terminal to modernize existing building.

Nygaard - concern about the ability to use the unused time of the firing range. Hammann - quite of bit of work relating to that. A number of scenerios - a lot of other agencies would be interested in participating - could lease out range of facility 3 to 6 days a week based on availability - would have consultant to review feasibility.
Break at 7:37 p.m.
Meeting called back to order at 7:41 I think listen, listen
Michele Levy, 3021 Highland Drive, Carlsbad, suggested that the Council consider selling the Farmers Insurance Building to help fund the Joint First Responders Training Facility.
Lewis - this is a safety factor and extremely important for fire and police. This is more important than parks, swim complex and golf course. We do have the $$$ available and would hope the Council would consider the project and move forward.
Kulchin - agree with Mayor. Need to do this and need to do it now. In full support of moving forward.
Hall - I think that through the whole conversation - we have to have the types of facilkities not only in this City, but also in the Region. Will support this tonight. Used to be a $1 to $3 million question. This is a lot of money. Could cost the citizen up to $2 to $3000 a day. This will give us the opportunity to work with other communities.
Am in support tonight to get the relationships and partnerships built.
No JPA's per Kulchin.
Hall - need to focus on how the numbers are across the building.
Packard - will not vote to support this agenda item. Do support safety, continue to feel it is unwise to take on project uni-laterally.
Nygaard also can support - the sooner we get going the less expensive it will be. High priority.
