The board approved $278,032.43 in airport claims, set setup for the Airstrip Attack on May 29 with the event May 30–31, authorized $495 setup plus $99/month advertising to recruit hangar tenants, and discussed dumpster misuse and lease clarifications.
The Board of Aviation Commissioners of the City of Connersville on March 30 approved routine minutes and $278,032.43 in airport claims, authorized advertising to recruit tenants for a new hangar and confirmed dates for the Airstrip Attack event.
Vice President Tim Patterson moved to approve the minutes of the Feb. 23 meeting; Kevin Yaryan seconded the motion and all board members voted yes. Andy Yaryan then moved to approve airport claims totaling $278,032.43; Tim Patterson seconded and the board voted unanimously to pay the listed claims.
Andy Yaryan provided event logistics for the Airstrip Attack, saying the board "will start setting up on Friday May 29th, with the event happening Saturday, May 30th and Sunday May 31st." The board also authorized an advertising service for the new hangar at a cost of $495 for setup and $99 per month to circulate listings and email blasts until a lease is secured.
Airport Assistant Manager Nathan Foreman reported the flyers produced interest; he said one caller indicated ownership of nine planes. The board discussed operational issues, including repeated misuse of the airport dumper (dumpster) and parked vehicles blocking hangar doors. Tim Patterson said he has a trail camera he can use to identify the person filling the dumper. Members agreed the airport lease should be revised to clarify what renters may store in hangars and whether vehicles may be left outside when aircraft are away.
Tim Patterson made a motion to adjourn; Andy Yaryan seconded and the meeting adjourned. The next regular meeting is scheduled for April 27, 2026.
