Airport contractor work, tree trimming and surveys discussed; commissioners thank departing airport staffer
Summary
Director Mister Carroll reported contractor tarmac cutting and planned excavation for an airport pad, CMT drone surveys and tree-trimming plans around a beacon; commissioners publicly thanked airport staffer Joe for years of service.
Mister Carroll, identified in the meeting as the director, briefed the board on progress at the county airport, saying a contractor cut the tarmac last Friday and excavation for a new pad was expected to begin. Carroll said a CMT survey team visited with drones to confirm site readiness and had identified trees requiring trimming around the beacon on the north side of the field.
Carroll said CMT had submitted grants to support the work and that property owner Patty Levern was reported to have given permission for the planned trimming. Carroll also noted others involved in the discussion, including a mention of Al Hughes speaking with the owner. Carroll characterized the schedule as subject to change and said nonroutine tree work would involve coordination with police and air backup if needed.
Commissioners used the item to thank airport staffer Joe for his service. Participants referenced Joe’s tenure—comments range in the transcript from "pushing 7" to suggestions of about eight years of service—and expressed appreciation for his proactive engagement. Carroll acknowledged the thanks.
Speakers also discussed upcoming meetings concerning the land bank and the port board; one port-board meeting was rescheduled to Thursday and was expected to include action items.
Quote from Mister Carroll in the transcript: "I appreciate that, Don."
