Minutes
➢ The minutes from the June, 2006, meeting were reviewed and approved
Public Comment:
➢ Lori MacNichol, of McCall Mountain Canyon Flying, voiced that her
request of hangar enlargement (AAC meeting August 4, 2005) for
aircraft storage and hangar construction for commercial use (AAC
meeting March 2, 2006) had been ignored and now the property behind
her hangar was being leased to Hangar Solutions for the east hangar
project. She wanted to know what the status of the project was,
specifically, why had the property she had requested to lease (and the
concept presented) was now being leased to the developer? And, she
had talked to the developer about incorporating her project into his plan
but was ignored. The Airport Manager recommended that she wait for
the developer to give his presentation of the project.
