years.
Martin Mainja asked why there has not been a company that would want to build a
restaurant at the Airport. Quentin Hix said there has been several prospects that have
been interested,but after financials were completed it was not worth their expense.
Quentin Hix talked with Business Air to see if the company would be interested in using
the old FBO building for a restaurant, but they were not interested.
Kent Key suggested to have the City build the building and put out a RFP for a restaurant
to occupy. Quentin Hix informed the Board that the Airport had a TxDOT grant to build
the building for a community room. The City then went back to TxDOT to add a shell for
a restaurant attached to the community room and restrooms. The construction cost came
back well over budget for the building and the city did not have the money.
Martin Mainja proposed to put a package together for the Council Airport Committee.

Agenda Information Sheet
DEPARTMENT: Transportation
CM/ACM: Bryan Langley, Assistant City Manager
Date: March 8, 2017
SUBJECT
Receive a report and hold a discussion regarding reserving property for a proposed Airport Fire
Station.
BACKGROUND
Previous airport administration began working with Fire Administration in the Fall of 2016 to
establish a site for a future fire station located on airport property. The Fire Department indicated
they had three primary siting requirements for the proposed facility:
1. Central location on the Airport-quick access to Airport Road
2. Access to Taxiway/Runway—2 minute response time to mid-field runway
3. A minimum of two acres
It is anticipated the proposed facility would be dually certified so that it may serve the industrial
area on the west side of town (structures) as well as be certified as for Airport Rescue and Fire
Fighting (ARFF). Fire Administration indicates the facility would be a three-bay facility, ARFF
vehicle,Engine(structure) and an ambulance. The FD is currently looking to land bank or reserve
locations though out the community as part of their strategic planning efforts. Funding for the
proposed strategic plan may be identified as part of the 2019-2020 bond program. City Staff has
placed this item on the agenda for general discussion and discussion.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve
its vision. The foundation for the plan built on five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA):
Organizational Excellence; Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and
Family-Friendly Community; and Sustainable and Environmental Stewardship. While individual
items may support multiple KFAs,this specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly
to the following KFA and goal:
Related Key Focus Area: Safe,Liveable & Family-Friendly Community
Related Goal: 4.1 Enhance public safety in the community

Agenda Information Sheet
DEPARTMENT: Transportation
CM/ACM: Bryan Langley, Assistant City Manager
Date: March 8, 2017
SUBJECT
Receive a report and hold a discussion regarding the West Auxiliary Runway project.
BACKGROUND
As part of a briefing at the February 2017 Airport Board Meeting, Dave Schaumburg, Airport Manager
indicated that in January 2017, Texas Department of Transportation- Aviation (TxDOT) and KSA
Engineering officials met at the Airport and initiated the design phase. As part of the January 2017 meeting,
it was determined additional environmental impacts would be experienced due to a Jurisdictional
Ephemeral Stream(drainage feature)located near/adjacent to the proposed auxiliary runway. Quentin Hix,
Aviation Director and Chase Patterson, Operations Coordinator met with TxDOT in Austin to review
components of the Auxiliary Runway design and other Capital Improvement Projects on February 17.
As part of this meeting in Austin,there was some discussion on the current design of the proposed runway.
The proposed design plan is for a runway 5,000 feet long and 100 feet wide. TxDOT has agreed,as part of
their official planning and programming document,to fund 90%of a runway design for 4,500 feet long and
75 feet wide and to have a weight bearing capacity for single wheel aircraft of 12,500 pounds. The Denton
Airport(local sponsor)will be required to fund 100-percent of the cost for the additional 500 feet in length
and the additional width of 25 feet.
As part of the discussion on the proposed design,Airport Management is re-evaluating the cost-benefits of
the additional runway width. Rather than applying local funding to enhance the runway by 25 feet wide
and 5,000 feet long,is it more beneficial to enhance the weight bearing capacity to 30,000 pounds for single
wheel landing gear. KSA, Denton Airport's engineering consultant firm that will eventually facilitate the
design, has recommended the Airport invest local funding in the increased pavement strength rather than
the additional width. Staff is anticipating preliminary cost estimates will be available early next week to be
included as part of the discussion for this item.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan built on five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainable and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:
Related Key Focus Area: Public Infrastructure
Related Goal: 1.6 Collaborate with local, regional, state, and federal partners
