Construction work at the field will continue: contractors are scheduled to complete taxiway tie-ins and apron extension work and then return for electrical work and cleanup. The manager said the contractor will request up to 10 days of runway downtime to complete runway work once the electrical phase is scheduled.

The manager said the airport has the oil and rock needed for a chip-seal surface but must wait for dry weather. \"Once it gets dry enough, we'll have this done in 2 days,\" the manager said, adding that current weather has delayed paving and parking-lot work. The manager also reported work on window replacement and lower-level rot repairs in the terminal building that should reduce leaks and water intrusion when complete.

On fuel payments and equipment, staff are working to bring a card/point-of-sale device (referred to in the meeting as a QT/QR pod) online so the airport can accept transactions directly at the field. The manager reported delays with the electric utility (OG&E), saying a prior contract had lapsed during construction and a new contract is being arranged to finalize service to new equipment.

City staff reported that an ODOT project is behind schedule by about nine days, mostly due to weather, and that several town water-line breaks tied to that work have been repaired; additional town water projects funded through an FAP loan were reported to start next week.

No formal action was taken on the operational items during the meeting; staff said they will continue to monitor construction and utility schedules and notify the commission if the runway downtime request is formally scheduled.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Alva Airport Commission June 9, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The airport manager reported lower-than-expected fuel sales due to weather, upcoming taxiway and apron tie-ins with a possible 10-day runway closure request, and delays in electric hookup and other construction caused by weather and contract issues.

Lindsey Johnston, identified in the meeting as president of Little Red Hints, asked the commission to sponsor a $2,000 appearance fee for the monster-truck act and said last year’s standalone event drew about 1,500 people. Johnston said she hoped the airport could help by hosting aircraft on display and by coordinating outreach to pilots and teachers.

Commission members said airport funds are generally intended to promote aviation and suggested that any airport donation be tied to aviation-related activities such as an EAA Young Eagles event or display of aircraft. The airport manager and commissioners discussed permitting a donation box or QR-code donations at the airport and promoting the fundraiser at the field if the event is aviation-linked. Commissioners proposed tabling the request while staff and the organizer explore aviation-oriented options and potential Young Eagles participation.

A roll call recorded for the motion to table: Kinsey — yes; Weidner — yes; Lawson — yes (Parker called the roll). No dollar amount was approved by the commission at the meeting.

Johnston said she has solicited other donors (last-year donors listed in the meeting included a $1,000 donation from “7 star,” a contribution from Kay and Kayvon recorded in the minutes as approximately $3.50, and other support from Denny Plumbing) and that she would pursue EAA/Young Eagles and other aviation partners. The commission encouraged Johnston to bring more detailed proposals tying any commission support to aviation promotion at a future meeting.","The Alva Airport Commission tabled a request from Little Red Hints for a $2,000 monster-truck appearance at a Sept. 6 event and discussed preferring aviation-related sponsorship such as Young Eagles flights or promotion at the airport.",{"_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},6538581,"Airport commission keeps center of hay barn for maintenance, reopens south end for aircraft storage",724,1622000,2346000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3804267-0d620c93ac0cbecb4219bb5f7d6cd995&start=1622&end=2346","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3804267-0d620c93ac0cbecb4219bb5f7d6cd995/thumbnail_1622000.jpg","/articles/6538581/Alva/Woods-County/Oklahoma/Airport-commission-keeps-center-of-hay-barn-for-maintenance-reopens-south-end-for-aircraft-storage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6538581-362e2caac9603c0f6ac3e7e3ba13c5bc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150026&Signature=Fi2LPuq1-nNjjNPXZA~-B4iX3qFcmdYRT1CDuusTZa3-qBAYFGhXcSHeNgbUzppsrYvQrGxhplKPXEHUd4tqfFaHpCyj-hxsTo5LdX8E~0EjbQf2-i9VieIfwbGURFsxP9onuidCdEr9HivOsVZUzQYNx9Z~Ou4ba4CFj2lVX1eNVxFsNedAZqc-TWWAjdh9Xe3LYxdWqFNZReHXliAloXCY0g4g8vM6Ri0iSlCGMICnjqAzVXE72XZs55ZeDHv2v~kM23Gpv8xOtTXEjv45TUC0hN0JFg3mYeT6DYlWBeW-HmYA4BrGKHhXrM2JogBbGuVkguNKisKYv-gt5B3VIQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alva Airport Commission voted to retain the center section of the hay barn for airport maintenance use and to reopen the south end for aircraft storage.

Commissioners said the center section provides secure, dry space to store and service mowers, trucks and other airport equipment while reopening the south side will create room for transient and lease aircraft until new hangars are completed. The motion passed on a roll call vote recorded as: Loxton — yes; Geiger — yes; Weidner — yes; Kinsey — yes.

Airport manager (unnamed) told the commission the center area offers “equipment security, dry conditions for the equipment, longer maintenance” and asked that staff be allowed to secure a door that currently does not lock. Commissioners discussed a short-term space crunch driven by several large aircraft and ongoing construction; they said the plan frees space in other hangars and should ease congestion until new hangars are built.

Commission members clarified current occupancy and lease status for units in the hay barn. The manager reported one aircraft (a Comanche) remains in the north end and that the tenant had indicated payments extending into July; staff said they would follow the airport’s lease and billing procedures and contact the tenant to confirm plans. Commissioners instructed staff to treat the center section as airport maintenance space and to make the south end available for aircraft storage under existing hangar leasing rules.

The commission did not specify a timeline for locking or minor repairs; staff said they would report back with details and any required lease updates at a future meeting.

Practical effect: maintenance equipment will remain inside the central bay, the south bay will be cleared and offered for aircraft storage, and staff will manage tenant communications and lease compliance going forward.","The Alva Airport Commission voted to retain the center section of the hay barn for airport maintenance equipment and open the south end back to aircraft storage, citing equipment security and short-term space crunch until new hangars are built.","actionData","errors"]
