Open Discussion
Mike Anderson posed the question as to whether or not lessees could pay Airport to
remove snow. Dennis Coyle agreed that the discussion is worth pursuing.
Airport Manager Recruitment
Dennis Coyle reported that Barbara Sivey, HR Director, has received considerable
interest in the Airport Manager Position. Dennis Coyle recapped timeline for the hiring
process. Dennis Coyle asked for an AAC member recommendation to sit on interview
panel. Rick Fereday volunteered to sit on panel. Dan Scott confirmed that John
Anderson would sit on the interview panel as well.
Airport Lease Rates
Dennis Coyle reported the status of the lease revision process. There are a lot of
inconsistencies in the current leases. Dennis Coyle has spoken with both the City Clerk
and City Attorney regarding some of the lease issues.
There was continued discussion on snow plowing. Rik Poston believes that snow
plowing shouldn't be part of the lease agreement and that it is an issue for hangar
owners to work out individually. Dennis Coyle reminded the Committee that using
private contractors for snow plowing presents additional safety and FAA issues on the
Airport.
There was a consensus to go ahead and draft a lease then have the City Attorney take a
look at it after the main content is in place.
John Anderson clarified the FAA's role in order to avoid possible discrimination with the
Airport leases.
