SITE LOCATION
West Michigan Airport Authority 60 Geurink Boulevard, Holland, MI 49423 P (616) 510-2332
Comprising City of Zeeland, Park Township and City of Holland
The West Michigan Airport Authority will provide the public with state-of-the-art global air access to strengthen the local economy and improve the area’s quality of life.
The East Taxiway Connector Project will provide direct access from the Taxiway to the New Apron and is designed to improve overall traffic flow to the Airport Business Center. Funding for the project is split between the FAA (90%), MDOT Aeronautics (5%), and local contributions (5%). Final construction is intended to be complete by the end of the 2017 construction season and construction is estimated to take 14 days.
A request for bids was advertised January 20th; February 10th a pre-bid meeting was held with potential contractors; bids were received February 21st; and March 13th was initially scheduled for Approval of bids by the Airport Authority, however, the date has now been moved to March 6th.
The lowest bid came in higher than the engineer’s initial estimate ($399,725.00) at $426,472.10 (Kalin Construction Co. Inc.); however, MDOT has been able to acquire the requisite funding to make up the difference. Mead & Hunt has reviewed the bids and determined the contract to Construct the East Apron Connector be awarded to Kalin Construction.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the board move to approve the award of the contract to Construct the East Apron Connector to Kalin Construction.

March 6, 2017 Item 7
To: West Michigan Airport Authority Board.
From: Greg Robinson, Authority Manager.
Subject: Agreement with Mead & Hunt for On-Call Services.
The Airport Authority and staff use Mead & Hunt (MH) for a variety of engineering and planning services. Typically, MH submits a proposal for costs to conduct a particular project or planning service. However, some recent requested services do not lend themselves to a project-type cost and it is preferred to have MH bill on an hourly basis. For example, MH has been asked to assist with preparing an inventory of under-utilized airport properties, and with the evaluation of site needs for additional hangars. Attached to this report is a proposal from MH to provide “On-call” engineering and planning services to the Authority. It is the intent of staff to have an estimated cost before beginning any on-call work. The proposal is currently under review by the Authority’s attorney. Recommendation It is recommended that the Airport Authority Board approve an agreement with Mead & Hunt to provide “On-call” engineering and planning services as described in this report and in the attachment; subject to approval as to form by the Authority’s attorney.

March 6, 2017 Item 8.
To: West Michigan Airport Authority Board.
From: Greg Robinson, Airport Authority Manager.
Subject: Presentation of the Fiscal Year 2018 Operating and Capital
Budgets.
Annually, the Airport Authority Manager prepares and submits the fiscal year operating and
capital budgets to the Authority Board for consideration. The Fiscal Year 2018 Operating and
Capital budgets have been prepared and reviewed by the Operations Committee. Committee
changes to the original presentation are reflected in the budget submitted to the Board.
The budget presentation also includes a report on accomplishments during Fiscal Year 2017
and a proposed Action Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018. Much progress has been made on the
FY17 Action Plan and an aggressive Action Plan is proposed for FY18.
Revenues in the proposed FY18 Operating budget are estimated to decrease by about 2.3%
from the estimated FY17 year-end revenues. This is due primarily to a decrease in tax revenue
from the Cities of Holland and Zeeland as the result of the elimination of the personal property
tax. The other revenues are expected to remain stable. The millage rate is recommended to
remain at one-tenth of a mill.
Operating expenses are proposed to increase by 10.75% as the result of including a $10,000
contingency line-item, a slight increase in staff costs due to having a part-time Assistant
Manager on for a full year, an increase in communication costs due to the upcoming millage
renewal vote, and operating costs for the Airport Business Center.
It is recommended that $120,780 from revenues be placed in reserves to provide the local
match for future Capital Projects. There are not any new projects proposed for FY18, but
rather the completion of existing projects in progress.
Also, it is recommended that $25,000 be placed in the Reserves for Business Center
Maintenance and Repairs to save for future needs. The project contractor (CL Construction)
has provided us with a listing of the expected life and replacement costs for various items at
the Business Center. Placing $25,000 in this Reserve each year should enable the Authority to
be prepared for the repair or replacement of Business Center items in the future.

West Michigan Airport Authority
Fiscal Year 2017 (July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017) Action Plan
January 24, 2017
Mission Statement
To provide the public with state-of-the-art global air access to strengthen the local economy
and improve the area’s quality of life.
Fiscal Year 2017 Action Plan Status as of January 2017
1. New Airport Business Center:
a. Complete the Airport Business Center. (August 2016) Complete
b. Complete the new apron. (August 2016) Complete
c. Move into the new Airport Business Center. (August 2016) Complete
2. Remove the existing airport office building and, perhaps, a portion of this parking lot,
and conduct site restoration for this airport entrance. (Fall 2016/Spring 2017)
The national ASOS weather system is still in the former office building. The WMAA has
constructed a new space for this system in one of the Thangar buildings and we have
been told that the FAA intends to move the equipment in March or April 2017. Once
this equipment is moved, then the building can be demolished. The Building &
Development Committee will be discussing possible improvements to the airport
entrance area at their next meeting.
3. Evaluate the Authority staffing structure and revise as needed. (December 2016)
Complete. The Authority’s staffing structure was changed in October 2016 to add a
part-time Authority Assistant Manager position. This position has been filled through
the City of Holland by assigning Aaron Thelenwood to the Authority. Aaron has an office
at the Airport Business Center as does Communications Coordinator Karen Scholten and
Authority Manager Greg Robinson. All of these positions are part-time and add to about
one full-time equivalent position.
4. Provide a centralized location at the new Airport Business Center for all Airport
Authority documents and reference materials. (August 2016)
This item is in process, but all current documents and files are now in a central location
at the Airport Business Center. Some past files remain at Holland City Hall and will need
to be moved to the Business Center.
5. Conduct crack sealing and paint markings. (June 2016)
It is anticipated that this item will be completed in 2017 during warmer weather.
6. Revise the airport Stormwater Management Plan upon completion of the Airport
Business Center and Apron projects if necessary. (December 2016)
This item is being addressed by the FBO and should be completed by the end of the
fiscal year.
7. Work with the Holland City Planning Commission on the preparation of an updated
Master Plan for the area around the airport. (July 2016)
This item has been completed, however, a detailed evaluation of airport properties will
be undertaken in February 2017.
8. Prepare a preliminary design, cost estimate and business plan for an additional public
hangar building. (November 2016)
This item is about to be addressed by the Building & Development Committee.
9. Establish a deliberate airport development effort in cooperation with Lakeshore
Advantage, the Michigan West Coast Chamber of Commerce, the Allegan County
Economic Development Office and Mead & Hunt that will:
a. identify opportunities for land development at the airport;
b. work with local and regional companies to determine opportunities at the
airport;
c. develop a network with airport-related companies and governmental entities to
determine opportunities at the airport.
An inventory of airport property, including possible available sites and development
alternatives is about to begin. This is the first step in determining what land
development opportunities there may be. However, airport development does not rely
totally on land development. There are other means to encourage additional use of the
airport by local and regional businesses. Further, as Lakeshore Advantage, the Chamber
of Commerce, and the Allegan and Ottawa County Economic Development Offices
conduct their business development activities, we want to be sure they are aware of the
capabilities of this airport and the value it may bring to their efforts.
10. Communications:
a. Organize a ribbon cutting event for the new Airport Business Center. Complete
b. Coordinate periodic updates to informational displays in the Airport Business
Center.
This item is being evaluated to determine the best way to accomplish it. There
are activities underway to present a visual/textual history of the airport and the
Communications Committee will be discussing other information displays.
c. Participate in at least three community events.
The Authority was a co-sponsor for the Wings of Mercy CareAffaire event this
past August. The Authority also had its float in the Holland Tulip Time and
Festival of Lights parades.
d. Distribute information on airport activities through videos, website updates,
periodic newsletters, media releases and community presentations. Ongoing
e. Continue to be active in social media venues such as Facebook and Twitter.
Ongoing
f. Provide updates to member units on activities of the Authority.
The Communications Committee has determined that it is up to the member
unit representatives on the Board to provide periodic updates to their units. We
may want to supplement this with specific presentations as we approach the
millage renewal request.
g. Interact with airport tenants and users on airport activities, needs and matters of
interest.
More interaction has taken place through the e-newsletters and the Airport
Business Center events of the past year, however, we need to be taking other
means as well to engage with tenants and users.
