City staff said the roofing amendment would allow the project to replace the remainder of the hangar roof and adjacent lower roofs after staff identified a systemic water leak. Linda Tepper, reporting for the city, said the contractor proposed the additional work to gain efficiency and provide a single complete roof: \"we do have a systemic water issue up there on the roof,\" and adding the east-side and lower roofs will provide \"an entirely new roof structure over that hangar area, by the end of this summer.\" The council authorized an amendment of $455,589, bringing the total contract not to exceed $801,378.

The staff presentation said roughly $150,000 of the roofing work will be covered by an existing state core grant; some work will be completed in the current fiscal year with the remainder falling into the new fiscal year beginning July 1. Council discussion included whether it made sense to use interest earned from airport project accounts to fund improvements in the same area.

On the joint-use agreement, Tepper described negotiations with the Air National Guard and said the city receives approximately $69,000 a year under the current agreement. She told the council that recent national template changes for joint-use agreements raise liability and environmental language around PFAS in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). \"They've been trying to get that hashed out nationally,\" she said, and the city is extending the agreement's expiration date by one year while the national template is resolved. The council authorized contract amendment number 3 to the airport joint-use agreement.

Council also approved a lease with RMC Aviation LLC for a new development parcel adjacent to the Pelican Hangar. City staff said the new building is essentially complete and will include fuel facilities; the airport receives an 8-cent-per-gallon fuel flowage fee on fuel dispensed at tenant facilities. Staff said the ground lease will generate increased annual rent and fuel flowage revenue for the airport.

All three items were approved by the council during the legislative action portion of the meeting. Motions were made and seconded and carried with aye voice votes or roll-call where recorded.

The roofing work is expected to be split between the current fiscal year (funds already identified) and the next fiscal year; the AJUA extension preserves the city’s revenue stream while national language is settled; and the RMC lease will allow the new hangar and fuel facilities to operate under the city's land-lease arrangement.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting - April 7, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Klamath Falls City Council on Monday authorized three items related to the Klamath Falls airport: a $455,589 amendment to an existing roofing contract to cover additional roof areas at the main FBO hangar, a one-year extension of the airport joint-use agreement with the U.S. (to buy time while national language on PFAS is settled), and a land lease with RMC Aviation LLC for a newly constructed hangar and associated fuel facilities.","taxTitle","Klamath Falls, Klamath County, Oregon","taxId",53214,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6085409,"Votes at a glance: Klamath Falls council approves consent agenda, liquor-license recommendation and ordinance amendment",654,307000,961000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2903653-c6e8bfef62a3589e390bd76eb2438bbd&start=307&end=961","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2903653-c6e8bfef62a3589e390bd76eb2438bbd/thumbnail_307000.jpg","/articles/6085409/Klamath-Falls/Klamath-County/Oregon/Votes-at-a-glance-Klamath-Falls-council-approves-consent-agenda-liquor-license-recommendation-and-ordinance-amendment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6085409-8db559c89a282ec76e8e2321b15fed36/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442895&Signature=VMQ0t0ssB8RHgJIT842KgSh1-dmT3qf~q9-M44ETuW9n8qw1W27sVWoq-prqCW3py~p9Fqklx4gBzZF7V~qFcI~f6hqFJrCnvbcmDECJD9Suzd5I7kRkPZQ9BfFXAYUDKUrN4E57x-vsktKu7e3pU73enG-SRBkgkFMhU38CFP5El10dtRm65kMybgulXYNbOu1sPoRgmkPL78xMLjeAu4LxJS4sGTuplm44KIPil8O9efSGQ~xK71or~Vh64fARIzCYmDxmKAD32LrFO8ImaX1SPyEQoLV-0Nht29hWF8wjx2fz0Qng0ESwLFlWdrvi1r9tvbb4ZuKLutBmnnXwQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its April 7 meeting, the Klamath Falls City Council approved a series of routine and legislative items.

Consent agenda: The council approved the consent agenda by motion and second. Items included a biannual budget analysis report for 2023–2025, authorization to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Klamath Housing Authority regarding a sewer lift station for the Mountain View townhomes and the Everfree Homes project, authorization to purchase property at Fliesch and Shacker Street (Lots 1 and 2) in an amount not to exceed $5,500, and authorization of a construction services contract with Great American Contracting LLC for the 2025 spring crack-seal project in an amount not to exceed $185,000 plus a contingency allowance of $46,250.

Liquor license recommendation: Staff member Joe Wall presented a business-license application for a tasting room at 404 Main Street. He described the proposed use as a \"small wine bar\" offering limited on- and off-premises beer and wine sales. Staff said neighbor and police notice produced no concerns for this limited, not-late-night operation and recommended the council make a positive recommendation to the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC). A council member moved to recommend allowance of limited on- and off-premises alcohol sales to the OLCC for the tasting room; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.

Ordinance: The council conducted a second and final reading and adopted an ordinance amending city code section 5.285. The ordinance passed on recorded roll-call votes with all members voting yes as read into the record.

All motions reported in the meeting were moved, seconded and approved; no opposed votes were recorded during the session.","Council approved the consent agenda (budget report, IGA with Klamath Housing Authority for sewer lift station, property purchase, and a spring crack-seal construction contract), recommended approval of a tasting-room liquor license to the OLCC, and adopted an ordinance amending city code section 5.285 on second and final reading.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6085411,"Klamath Falls proclaims April 2025 Child Abuse Prevention Month; community partner highlights foster-care decrease",95,71000,166000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2903653-c6e8bfef62a3589e390bd76eb2438bbd&start=71&end=166","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2903653-c6e8bfef62a3589e390bd76eb2438bbd/thumbnail_71000.jpg","/articles/6085411/Klamath-Falls/Klamath-County/Oregon/Klamath-Falls-proclaims-April-2025-Child-Abuse-Prevention-Month-community-partner-highlights-foster-care-decrease","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6085411-69ba30f0b9f1ebce582e0307764a75bf/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442895&Signature=hre8Gkp7XbaNCWNMhJJp7FCj8-RFXgAYRH53fkV0mB0RJ-TGQg9Jcix51ZIPesFzGLkmSKCjB6JIvhlucWJQkzk6JKgAya2TsRQ8bQqWV0nQgy~JNA6Y3kth6zP3lG~QsbhyZ6liGvSUlr~0NW5zyz7p1Xm5hbOloFM7tDOThewgYW8AyWEmmC3CXP1noeUcCavWVPWSbzGERKCeFIRiTxFaYReFJvBR2dmhgiGsDzWFwDJsz-Lfrr-24QQ0j-0fwi28iRhO4BBMimte5uC8lPXes4sm6qK6ctyiY~AmJG6rd5v6ruSMhLLfZP3lBjjf7WapIPd6AblgHg475cNo0w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Carol Westfall on Monday read a proclamation declaring April 2025 as Child Abuse Prevention Month for the city of Klamath Falls and recognized local prevention partners.

During the proclamation, Mayor Westfall said the city is \"dedicated to strengthening families in our community\" and declared April 2025 as Child Abuse Prevention Month.

A community representative who addressed the council during the proclamation noted progress in local foster-care statistics and partnership work: she said that in February 2017 the local foster-care population was about 350 children and that, through local prevention efforts, the number has dropped to about 140 children. She also said local efforts are being shared with state and federal partners and that the community is working with the Doris Duke Foundation to develop policy approaches to keep families out of the child-welfare system. \"We didn't do that alone at the Department of Human Services,\" the speaker said, adding, \"we did that as a community.\"

The proclamation thanked local partners and urged continued community support for family-prevention programs. No formal council action beyond the proclamation reading was recorded during the agenda item.","Mayor Carol Westfall read a proclamation declaring April 2025 Child Abuse Prevention Month; a community speaker credited local prevention efforts with a drop in foster-care numbers and cited work with the Doris Duke Foundation.","actionData","errors"]
