Board discusses hiring for airport maintenance and short-term snow-removal options
Summary
Board reviewed two applicants for an advertised airport maintenance position and debated short-term snow-removal arrangements, including part-time or contracted help and possible county equipment use; members agreed to review applications, form an interview panel, and defer final decisions until August.
The board reviewed staffing for airport maintenance and options to handle snow removal during the 2025–26 season.
Staff reported two applicants for the airport maintenance position and circulated application materials to board members for review. Board members discussed forming a three-person selection/interview panel that should include at least two board members; dates in mid-August were proposed for interviews. The board agreed to keep the posting open until filled and to include commissioners on the interview committee where feasible.
Separately, members discussed short-term and seasonal snow removal for runways and apron areas. Options included using a county loader (contingent on a $12,000 tire allocation mentioned in budget discussions), hiring a short-term contractor limited to 90 days in a 12-month period, or leasing private equipment and paying rental fees. Members emphasized ensuring clear scope, firm costs, and liability coverages when using private equipment or short-term contractors. No formal vote was taken; the board opted to continue the discussion and prioritize hiring and candidate review before committing to long-term arrangements.
