MJ Aircraft asks board for permission to add avionics work and update signs; chair suggests executive session
Summary
A public commenter, Mackenzie Bousay of MJ Aircraft, asked the board to approve adding avionics work to her repair-station operations and to change signage; staff and the chair said the lease requires board approval and recommended legal counsel or an executive session to handle contract negotiation.
During public comment, Mackenzie Bousay introduced herself and said MJ Aircraft (a part-145 repair station) is seeking board approval to expand into avionics work and to update business signage. She said the company had begun exploratory steps after a technician left another firm and that she had not completed formal lease-change paperwork before starting some interior work.
Bousay told the board she and her team would stop any work if the board requested it and apologized for moving ahead without prior approval. She asked for a written authorization from the board to modify the lease or add an operational specification for avionics and signs.
The chair and staff responded that the lease’s occupancy and use provisions require board approval and advised that the commenter consult an attorney. The chair said contract negotiations are an appropriate subject for an executive session, noting it would allow the board to discuss the proposed lease change privately. A staff speaker confirmed the facility’s ops specs do not yet include radios and that the company is pursuing the necessary paperwork; the commenter said Lee (identified in the discussion as an IA) would serve as the inspector-authorized mechanic.
Next step: staff suggested scheduling an executive session to discuss contract negotiations and advised the commenter to coordinate with staff and legal counsel on the requested lease amendment.
