Commissioner offers to lead city Fly‑In; no decision made
Summary
Commissioner LP Jenkins proposed the Airport Commission host a Fly‑In next year, offering to take the lead and inviting nearby organizations; the commission did not take formal action and staff will follow up at the Feb. 10, 2026 meeting.
Commissioner LP Jenkins proposed that the Airport Commission host a Fly‑In event in 2026 and said he would take the lead on organizing it. He asked the commission to begin by inviting surrounding organizations and companies to gauge support and emphasized the event would be open to all types of aircraft and the public.
The proposal was presented as an item for discussion rather than a formal motion or vote; no timeline, budget, or specific organizing partners were identified at the meeting. Commissioner Wayne Burkhardt acknowledged the item but did not call for an immediate vote.
Why it matters: a successful Fly‑In can boost local engagement with the airport, attract visitors and pilots, and create opportunities for outreach or fundraising. Commissioners signaled interest but requested staff follow up with additional details.
Next steps: staff were asked to return information at the commission's next meeting on Feb. 10, 2026, including potential partners, estimated costs, and any logistical constraints. No formal commitment or budget allocation was made at the Dec. 9 meeting.
