III. Airport Manager’s Report
Discussed the ongoing annual thaw and the effect on airport operations. Taxiway A-2 required a temporary cold patch where a six inch trench had sunk in. Snow Removal equipment has
had a normal number of break downs during February, and the diesel budget continues to be utilized faster than in previous years, because of the cost and amount used. Need for more
equipment that can be stored inside was discussed.
Restrooms in the Airport Manager’s office building were discussed. While it would be desirable to have restroom open to the public all hours, a solution that works has not been found.
Restroom is open to the public during business hours.
Seasonal Tie-Down letters have been mailed to previous years tie-down tenants. Availability of restroom during business hours was mentioned.
