Commission notes $172,000 Connect Oregon match and raises parking, dumpster concerns at Roseburg Airport
Summary
Commissioners were briefed on a $172,000 Connect Oregon match award for a taxiway project and discussed contractor submittals; commissioners also raised safety and misuse concerns about cars parked in movement areas and non-aviation use of dumpsters and hangars.
During informational items the commission heard that the city received a Connect Oregon award providing $172,000 in matching funds for a taxiway project. Speaker 1 said the grant was signed recently and that costs incurred since the project has not started will be eligible for match.
Staff noted contractor submittals (NiFeReaver) to Mead & Hunt and said construction is likely in early spring when conditions dry. Commissioners recalled that a runway extension had been part of a prior Connect Oregon round and briefly discussed grant round numbering.
In commission business the chair raised recurring operational concerns: vehicles parked in aircraft movement areas that can block operations, and non-aviation users (including RVs) using hangars and airport dumpsters, creating trash and safety issues. Chair asked commissioners to provide specific hangar/problem-user information offline so staff can contact those users directly.
No formal actions were taken on these informational items; staff said they will continue outreach and monitor compliance.
