During public comment, Scott Mellon (self‑identified) asked the board to explain how the airport is funded, what revenue it produces and how that offsets city support. Mellon said he was "curious" about the net figures and noted that departmental leaders are being asked to raise revenue.
A different community speaker praised the board's public‑facing events, including open‑airport days and pancake breakfasts, calling them valuable free services for families and residents. The board acknowledged those comments and closed public comment before adjourning.
The transcript records the questions and praise but does not include a full budget breakdown or a complete answer to the revenue/net‑budget question during the meeting; staff indicated the question was welcome but not required to be answered during public comment.
