Airport administrative assistant to retire in June; intern praised and house lease approved
Summary
The authority heard a retirement announcement from longtime administrative assistant Cindy, praised intern Jackson Dooley’s contributions, and approved a 30-month house lease with an employee of Jet Access starting June 1 at $1,000 per month.
Board members and staff honored administrative assistant Cindy, who told the authority she will retire in early June after about eight years with the airport. Cindy said she intends to retire on June 6 and called the date her “D Day.” Board members thanked her for years of service.
Airport Director Sam and other board members praised Cindy’s service. Sam said, “You have been a great confidant and a person to talk with,” and the board noted a retirement party scheduled for June 5 in the county auditor’s conference room.
Staff also recognized intern Jackson Dooley for a broad set of contributions over the school year: airfield inspections, website updates, lease tracking, social media setup, newsletters, tours and other operational tasks. Sam said Jackson “redid our website to make sure it was ADA compliant” and that he had been “an important part of the airport.”
The board approved a new house lease with Cody, an employee of Jet Access, to provide on-site presence. Counsel described the lease as nearly identical to the prior agreement but with two changes: monthly rent increased from $950 to $1,000 and the term set to 30 months beginning June 1 (the lease was described in the packet as beginning June 1 and running 30 months). A motion to approve the lease was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Discussion: Board members emphasized continuity of airport administration as Cindy retires and asked staff to ensure coverage. The house lease is intended to provide an on-site person who can respond to emergencies; counsel said the tenant is not required to live there every night but should have someone nearby in extended absences.
Ending: The board scheduled a retirement celebration and thanked both Cindy and the intern for their service; staff will continue transition planning for the administrative assistant role.
