Court approves two airport board nominees, defers vote on airport master plan pending liaison input
Summary
The court approved two nominations to the Kerrville–Kerr County Joint Airport Board but deferred final approval of a 299‑page airport master plan, citing the absent liaison’s input; Griffin said the plan supports future grants and listed a $140,000 AWOS as a near‑term equipment need.
The Kerr County Commissioner’s Court approved two nominees to the Kerrville–Kerr County Joint Airport Board and deferred action on the airport’s draft master plan so the court’s liaison can review and report back.
Kirk Griffin presented the board’s recommended appointees — Barry Dallin to a five‑year term and BB Stanfield to fill a one‑year remainder — and said the board had voted unanimously to support the nominations. A commissioner moved to approve the board’s recommendations; the court recorded the outcome as “Approve 4‑0.”
Griffin then summarized the airport master plan, describing it as a 299‑page document prepared to meet FAA and TxDOT Aviation requirements updated every 10–15 years. He said the plan is intended to guide 3–10+ year development, help secure grant reimbursements (including land acquisition reimbursement), and could enable runway extensions. Griffin also highlighted an equipment need: replacing an aging automated weather observation system (AWOS) with a $140,000 unit and relocating it to support future development.
Commissioners asked about near‑term budget commitments and emphasized the need for the court liaison (Judge Kelly) to review the plan; several members said they preferred the liaison be part of the decision. Because the liaison was absent, the court deferred final action on the master plan and asked for the judge’s input at a subsequent session. Griffin noted the draft is available online and offered to provide printed copies on request.
Action summary: the court approved the two airport board nominees (appointments recorded 4‑0) and postponed the master plan vote pending liaison review.
