Committee approves airport hangar project, citing rental and fuel revenue to help repay costs
Summary
The committee approved construction of two 60-by-80 corporate hangars, with an agency official saying rent and fuel sales — and FAA funding covering over half the cost — supply the revenue to repay the project.
The committee approved a project to add two 60-by-80 corporate hangars at the City airport, with members saying rental income and fuel sales will help repay the cost. The chair put the motion, which was moved by Maiden and seconded by Girdler, and the committee adopted the measure by roll call.
Why it matters: Committee members flagged revenue and FAA participation as key to the project’s repayment plan. An agency official said the hangars "will be able to hold a pretty good sized corporate jet" and noted that fuel sales and hangar rent are the primary ongoing revenue sources. The official added that "over half of it's being paid for by the FAA," which reduces the net local obligation.
Details and context: Committee discussion focused on revenue sources and the hangars’ capacity. The chair said the exchange clarified the project's financial equation and there were no substantive amendments before the committee approved the project. The vote was recorded by the secretary and the project was approved as presented.
Next steps: The committee moved on to subsequent agenda items; no follow-up tasks for the hangar project were assigned on the record at this meeting.
