2.1.1 Airport Management
Georgetown Municipal Airport is owned and operated by the City of Georgetown. The Airport Department is
organized under the Division of Transportation within the Georgetown municipal structure. Day to day
management and operation of the airport are the responsibility of the Airport Manager. In addition to the
airport manager, one administrative assistant, one permanent part time airport clerk, four permanent part time
fueling attendants, two on call fueling attendants and one permanent part time maintenance worker complete
the personnel assigned to the Airport Department.
2.2 Data Collection
In order to establish the technical building blocks for the business plan, the project team assembled and
reviewed the following documents:
• 2005 Master Plan
• Existing lease documents
• Airport rules and regulations
• Operations and security plans

• Airport regulatory requirements
• Rates and charges and rate making methodology
• CIP and capital maintenance plans
Information utilized from the various sources is discussed throughout the analysis in applicable sections.
2.2.1 Site Visit Stakeholder Meetings
At the kick -off of the project, meetings were held with the following stakeholders:
• Airport Management
• Airport tenants
• Airport Business Owners
• Airport governing body (City of Georgetown Transportation and Finance staff)
Input received has been documented and provided in Appendix A, Site Visit Meeting Notes. In general, the
common theme of the input received was the following:
• Customers are under the impression that the City does not support its Airport
• Perception by tenants and business owners is that the airport staff is over - burdened
• Airport can be self sustaining if operations are not hampered by City Bureaucracy
• There is a significant disconnect present between City and Airport
2.2.2 Baseline Condition Assessment — Field Observations
2.2.2.1 Airport Civil
A site visit was constructed on Wednesday October 24, 2012 of the Georgetown Airport. The purpose of the site
visit was to access the overall condition of the pavement on the airfield and verify that all maintenance needs
are covered in the proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Field Observations
Table 2 -4 summarizes the condition of the various pavements on the airfield, as well as proposed improvements
to those pavements.

AIRPORT BACKGROUND & DATA COLLECTION
Tenant Expansion
The area just north of T- Hangars H, I, and J has been proposed as a location for possible expansion of tenant
space. In order for this area to be a viable option, taxilane access would be required. Taxilanes could be
constructed by extending the existing taxilanes present between the hangars. Additionally, power lines and
other above ground utilities would limit access to the area and would need to be buried before development in
this area could occur.
The area just south of the hex - hangars has been proposed as a location for possible expansion of tenant space.
The existing taxilanes to this area would need to be widened to accommodate this.
The area just west of T- Hangar G has been proposed as a location for possible expansion of tenant space. In
order for this area to be a viable option, the taxilane access would have to be improved. Additionally, power
lines and other above ground utilities would limit access to the area and would need to be buried before
development in this area could occur.
In general, many hangar taxilanes appear to not have adequate clearances for aircraft. These clearances should
be investigated before further expansions are considered.
Safety Issues
It was noted that in many areas where the hold bars have been restriped, the original hold lines have not been
removed and 2 hold lines are present. Recommend the obsolete hold line markings be removed to avoid pilot
confusion.
It was recommended by the tenants that grooving of the runways would improve safety. CH2M HILL concurs
with this recommendation. Seal coats will reduce the micro- and macro - texture of the pavements, and
therefore increase the likelihood of hydroplaning.
Additional Recommendations
Sarah Hinton, airport manager, requested a runway strength be provided for both of the runways. In order to
provide a runway strength, information regarding the pavement section and the subsurface conditions (soils
information) is required. Once the airport can provide this information, a pavement strength can be calculated.
Drainage issues near the Advanced Services hangars were noted. Ms. Hinton informed us that during rain
events, the area experiences severe ponding. Upon inspection of the pipe and inlet, it appears that the pipe and
inlet are free of debris. Two recommendations for this area are proposed: 1) increasing the pipe capacity to
allow for adequate drainage and 2) regarding the apron in this area to provide slopes within criteria.
Additionally, TXDOT noted that the hangars do not have adequate Taxilane OFA separation. Power poles and
trees along the western edge of the apron are within the OFA. These power poles should be buried to provide
the adequate clearances.
2.2.2.2 Airport Facilities
On Wednesday, October 24, 2012 a meeting was held with Georgetown Airport personnel and City of
Georgetown maintenance personnel. The purpose of this meeting was to conduct a high level condition review
of several existing buildings on airport property. A total of 19 buildings were identified as buildings that will
revert to City of Georgetown ownership within the next 4 to 5 years. Most of the buildings are used as aircraft
hangars. Some have office space, meeting space, maintenance shops and restrooms. Several of the buildings
are simple pre- engineered metal buildings with minimal lighting and convenience receptacles and no plumbing.
None of the buildings have fire sprinklers or fire alarms.

GANTT AVIATION — Legend ID # 4
The hangar currently leased to Gantt Aviation was built around 1977. The hangar structure is two pre -
engineered metal buildings with interior offices, break rooms and rest rooms. The skin construction appears to
be standard R- panels over affixed to the girts. The roof appears to be R- panels affixed to the purlins. The
hangar space for aircraft storage has minimal lighting, 8 foot fluorescent Tight fixtures, and convenience
receptacles on the side walls. There is no heating or cooling in the hangar space. The office, meeting and
restroom spaces are conditioned space with smaller, Tight commercial DX HVAC units. The age of the HVAC units
is unknown. Incoming electric power is via a standard service entrance with 110 V and 220 V single phase power
available. It appears the higher voltage power is for the HVAC units. The restrooms and break rooms are on the
City water supply and connected to the City sewer system. The current tenant, Mr. Gantt, stated he had
recently repaired the roof to confirm proper collection and removal of rainwater where the two metal buildings
intersect. The tarmac on the south side of the hangars is in reasonable condition with some cracking. A new
sealcoat would extend the life of the asphalt. None of the structure has sprinkled fire protection.

According to the tenant, hangar D was rebuilt in 1977 after the original structure was destroyed in a tornado.
The building is a pre- engineered metal building with two interior offices and a restroom. The building skin is R-
panels. It is assumed the roof is also R- panels. The hangar space has high bay lighting and 8 foot fluorescent
light fixtures. The office space and restroom are conditioned with a residential sized DX HVAC unit. The age of
the AC is unknown, but appears to be at least 10 years old. The incoming electrical power is a standard service
entrance with a small circuit breaker panel board. There is no heating or cooling in the hangar space. There is a
wooden framed structure added to the west side of the hangar. This space is utilized as a maintenance shop
with an air compressor and bench mounted maintenance equipment. The restroom is on the City water supply
and connected to the City sewer system. The condition of the roof is unknown.

convenience receptacles on the side walls. There is gas fired infrared heating in the hangar space. The interior
of the hangar space is insulated. The office and restroom spaces are conditioned space with small, Tight
commercial DX HVAC units. The age of the HVAC units is unknown. Incoming electric power is via a standard
service entrance with 110 V and 220 V single phase power available. It appears the higher voltage power is for
the HVAC units. The restroom is on the City water supply and connected to the City sewer system. The
