How about they do it legally?” said Ben Williams, president of Friends of French Prairie. $37 million request raises ire In September 2018, the Oregon Department of Avia tion applied to the Federal Aviation Administration for $37 million to extend the runway by about 1,000 feet. But as the legislature wasn’t in session at the time, the body’s Joint Emergency Board heard the matter and gave retroactive approval to apply for the grant in December 2018. An Oregon Solutions report released in December 2018 found in some of the steps along the route of the Aurora Airport expansion had not been vetted with the public and recommended an increase in communica tion about future plans. It also found a lack of clarity about the future of the airport created tension between the airport and com munity groups and government bodies from places impacted by it such as Wilsonville and Clackamas County. A master plan was undertaken by the Oregon De partment of Aviation and completed in 2012, accord ing to Stansbury, but it was never presented to the State Aviation Board for adoption. Land use attorney Jeffrey Kleinman, who repre sents the Friends of French Prairie, has requested the state Attorney General’s office investigate the legality of the appropriation in the absence of an adopted mas ter plan. In the state’s application for the Consolidated Ap propriations Act grant money, it stated the runway ex pansion was part of its approved master plan. “Trying to get that much money was to allow them to go from extending the runway to expanding the air port without any of the normal processes,” Williams said. “It was all hidden from sight No. 1. No. 2, they’re not going to be found guilty of misrepresentation by the federal government.” According to newspaper articles from 2011, the State Aviation Board recommended the runway not be extended, but the approved minutes of the board don’t include that. Stansbury said the uncertainty has led her to have the department’s staff transcribe the board’s minutes to find out what they voted on.

The state is currently working on master plans for its airports in Lebanon, Mulino, Bandon, Independ ence and Cottage Grove. “I don’t know when we’ll be taking Aurora forward until we have clarity,” Stansbury said. Grant money for run-up The Aurora Airport has one runup area on the south end of the property parallel to the runway. A runup area is an area where an airplane can pull off a taxiway prior to pulling onto the runway for take off. Airplanes need to take off into the wind, there are times when they need to take off to the south, and cur rently they need to test their engines on the north end of the runway. “And so right now if the winds are favoring takeoff to the south, they’re having to do the runup areas in the ramp and it’s more congestion,” said State Airports Manager Matt Maass. The state is preparing to build a runup area in a portion of the property currently occupied by fuel tanks. Oregon House Bill 5006 includes $205,000 for the state’s portion of construction of a runup area on the north portion across from the runway for airplanes to test their engines before taking off. That would be joined with $1,845,000 of federal funds through the Airport Improvement Program, which gets funds through taxes on tickets for commer cial flights, different grant than the $37 million appli cation. “Once that’s done, we’ll do the design,” Stansbury said. Where the runway extension would have to go through the state’s land use process, which would have been done through Marion County, the runup area would not because it is on existing airport proper ty. The runway extension would have to go through Marion County’s land use process, but the runup area would not because it is already on airport property. Stansbury said the runup improvement is on the airport’s approved Airport Layout Plan. But the questions about the approved master plan linger over the runway extension. “There is a process,” Stansbury said. “It may take longer than we like, but we will honor that process. We will not exclude communities. “It’s a multiyear process to get through this. But that’s how it works here in Oregon. We’re going to fol low the law.” But the state has to answer the questions about the master plan before the runway extension can move forward. “We’ve got aborted public process with a dozen ex amples,” Williams said. “How do you wrap this thing up and put a bow on it without going back to that avia tion board meeting in 2011 and restarting it there?” bpoehler@StatesmanJournal.com or Twitter.com/ bpoehler Fred Richard Fetch Jr. KEIZER - Fred Richard Fetsch Jr, born 9/11/1937 to Fred and Edith Fetsch in Salem, Oregon.

Fee increase Continued from Page 1A utility rates to recommend changes, said Public Works Director Petra Schuetz. “It’s best practice to take an annual look and ac counting of water and sewer rates,” she said. “It’s probably been five years since the city last looked at these rates.” At their June 17 meeting, city councilors adopted a $55.9 million municipal budget for 201920, up from $44.3 million in 201819. The 26 percent increase is largely due to a few largescale projects, many of which are bringing some outside funding with them, said Finance Director Kathleen Zaragoza. “A lot of it is capital projects,” she said. “Next year, (202021) you’re liable to see a decrease in the munici pal budget.” An overhaul of McClaine Street is the next big pro ject in Silverton’s future, with the street and storm wa ter fees collected from home and business owners helping pay for it. Councilors voted to hire Keller Asso ciates of Salem to design a rebuild from the ground up, including drains, roadbed, bike lanes and sidewalks. The cost is estimated at $6.1 million with “under grounded” electricity and $5.1 million without. SDCs and Silverton’s flat utility fees – saved from 201819 and tobecollected in 201920 – put the city within striking distance of the total cost, at $4.3 mil lion. The Street Maintenance Fee Fund will contribute $1.14 million, while the Storm Water System Fund will pay $890,000, Zaragoza said. The shortfall will likely require some kind of public financing, she said. Silverton’s other large projects include a $2.3 mil lion expansion of the city’s drinking water intake sys tem, and the addition of sidewalks and bike lanes on South Water Street from Smith Street to Pioneer Drive. Comparatively small is the upgrade of Lincoln Street Park, a 1 ⁄ 4 acre park serving mostly neighbor hood children, occurring now. With about $10,000 from the Park Fee Fund, the city is extending the play ground and adding a basketball court and other hard surfaces to accommodate visitors with disabilities. Silverton Rotary is buying a new swing set valued at roughly $3,500, Schuetz said. Work on the park is scheduled to be complete by the end of the month.
