Resident asks council for airport subcommittee; cites hangar ownership, Shelter Air issues
Summary
Charles Wright asked council to schedule a future agenda item and consider a subcommittee or formal forum for airport-related issues after residents raised concerns about Shelter Air and hangar management; the mayor asked staff to follow up.
During the public-input portion of the Dec. 3 meeting, Charles Wright, a local resident who said he stores a plane at the Sebastian airport, asked the council to create a standing avenue for airport issues and to schedule an agenda item where residents could address airport management and hangar matters.
Wright told council he and other residents have discussed concerns with the city manager and the airport manager about operations and property management by Shelter Air and that "we'd like to get an agenda item so that we could... express to you our needs or what we hope you could do for the people that have a flying passion here at Sebastian." Mayor Jones and staff confirmed they would follow up and that staff would reach out to Wright and to the airport manager.
Council did not take any formal action at the meeting but instructed staff to contact the speaker and coordinate next steps.
