Board approves hangar lease for Lot 20 and orders power box for future hangars
Summary
The board approved a lease for Lot 20 (Eric Stahl) to build a hangar and authorized Northwest Energy to install a transformer/utility box at the south side of the field for $4,717 to support future hangar development; a separate lease for Lot 13 (Parker Chadwick) was deferred pending completion of lease details and measurements.
Board members reviewed two hangar lease requests and a utility quote tied to upcoming hangar construction.
Lease approvals: The board moved and approved a lease for Lot 20 to Eric Stahl; members discussed hangar footprint (reported as roughly 50×50, or about 2,500 sq ft) and confirmed the applicant had received the construction checklist and lease document. The lease will require signatures and final county commission approval as needed.
A separate lease for Parker Chadwick (Lot 13) was incomplete: the start date, rent and payment schedule were missing from the submitted document. Board members asked that Parker meet with airport manager Dwight Thompson to measure the site, confirm setbacks and firewall requirements, and return with complete documentation before a final vote.
Utilities for future hangars: The board reviewed a $4,717 quote from Northwest Energy to install a transformer/utility box that would provide a convenient service point for future hangars. Members discussed two payment approaches: the airport could pay now and bill hangar owners when they connect, or require the first hangar to pay the box cost. The board approved contracting Northwest Energy for the $4,717 installation and discussed applying for an aeronautics reimbursement grant in the future.
Next steps: The airport manager will coordinate with the applicants to finalize lease paperwork, schedule the utility installation with Northwest Energy and communicate any cost‑sharing arrangements to prospective hangar developers.
