Airport manager reports runway award, hangar lease activity and a likely delay to ALP updates
Summary
Leslie reported airport operations are increasing, the airport won a Bureau of Aeronautics project-of-the-year award for a recent runway project, a hangar lease transfer and a 30-year lease renewal are pending, and the airport layout plan (ALP) update will likely be delayed.
At the May 13 Sawyer County Public Works Committee meeting, Leslie delivered the airport operations report, saying traffic is increasing and the fixed‑base operator is staffing for busier days. She said the airport’s recent runway project earned a "project of the year" award from the Bureau of Aeronautics and noted the runway shutdown lasted about 30 days during construction.
Leslie flagged two hangar items for future agendas: one hangar owner has inquired about a lease transfer (the request is currently in legal review), and another is a 30‑year lease coming to its term that will require renewal with the existing lessee. She described those items as "to be determined" and said legal review is ongoing.
Leslie also said the airport layout plan (ALP) update and master‑plan work would likely be pushed farther out and might not come back to committee this year; she recommended watching the schedule and bringing updates as they are available.
Committee members thanked staff for attending conferences and noted the runway award as a positive development. No formal action was taken on hangar items at the meeting; the chair said matters would be brought forward when legal reviews and documentation are complete.
