Board declines purchase but accepts donated gravel and volunteer labor for long-term parking site
Summary
After debate about FAA compliance and whether to purchase three loads of gravel, the board failed to approve buying gravel but approved a motion for a volunteer to donate gravel and labor to finish the designated long-term parking area under FAA compliance.
The board considered options to develop a long-term parking area required by FAA grant assurances and discussed whether to purchase three loads of gravel at roughly $250–$270 per load.
A motion to authorize purchasing three loads of gravel failed for lack of a second. A subsequent motion — offered by a board member — that a volunteer would donate gravel and volunteer labor to finish the designated long-term parking area passed. The board emphasized that the parking area must comply with FAA requirements and that grading should occur prior to placing material.
Members discussed that some gravel had already been moved and that the relocated lot was not yet suitable for parking without grading and additional material. The board agreed to document the volunteer donation and to proceed with the volunteer plan ASAP to restore compliant long-term parking.
