Commission told feasibility study for hangar expansion could cost $15,000–$20,000; wait list policy discussion flagged
Summary
Staff said a market feasibility follow‑up study for hangar development is estimated at $15,000–$20,000 and recommended agendizing the study as a business item; commissioners also discussed wait list policy and benchmarking from Minden, Nev., where a $100 deposit was used.
Staff told the commission that feedback from the commission was conveyed to Mead & Hunt and that a follow‑up market feasibility study is recommended, with a rough cost estimate in the $15,000–$20,000 range. Staff proposed bringing a formal business item on the study to a future meeting for full discussion.
Why it matters: A feasibility study would provide data and cost estimates needed to plan hangar development, inform wait list policy changes and guide potential CIP or private development decisions.
Commissioner McGaugh reported comparative benchmarking from Minden, Nev., where roughly 85 hangars served about 110 people on a wait list and a $100 deposit was required. Commissioners suggested combining wait list policy work with the development conversation, and staff recommended working with the incoming airport manager to refine the process and improve transparency.
Staff proposed agendizing the feasibility study for a future meeting or handling it through an ad hoc meeting; an estimated price range was provided so commissioners could preliminarily flag it for budget consideration.
Commissioners did not vote on initiating the study but supported further discussion. Staff will place the item on a future agenda or an ad hoc meeting for a fuller review.
