Committee moves to align hangar inspections with FAA schedule, plans grant‑assurance audit
Summary
Committee heard that a hangar maintenance and compliance inspection report is in progress for the April meeting, staff propose aligning annual inspections with the FAA schedule and performing an annual audit of grant assurances to better allocate repair funds; several specific hangar door repairs were noted.
The Airport Advisory Committee received updates on hangar maintenance and a compliance inspection report that staff expect to present at the April meeting.
Staff member Dan Gillis said the ongoing report is being prepared and recommended that annual hangar inspections be scheduled to coincide with the FAA's inspection cycle. He also proposed conducting an annual audit of grant assurances so that funds can be targeted to needed repairs and replacements more efficiently.
Committee member Tom Randall reported that hangar doors that were re‑sheeted are now having trouble opening because rails need adjustment or replacement. Cari Hoffart said she will have staff inspect the doors to identify interim adjustments that can be made until a replacement is funded. Robert Steenblock reported he has the rubber needed for Kirk Diers’ hangar door and will repair it. The minutes also note that Jim Kjelgaard’s garage door was repaired prior to the meeting.
No formal policy or funding decisions were made; the committee expects the inspection report at the April meeting and will consider recommendations for maintenance scheduling and any budget implications then.
