Airports and land planning update: crosswind runway training, $53,660 boneyard auction proceeds
Summary
Airport staff told the commission ambulance services will use the crosswind runway for training pending FAA notices; a boneyard auction raised $53,660 and airport staff are drafting removal‑extension agreements.
Paul Thur and Stephanie May updated the commission on airports and land‑planning matters on Oct. 21, including planned training use of the crosswind runway and recent auction proceeds.
Thur said ambulance services will use the crosswind runway for training and outlined the FAA notice process required to accommodate that use; he said the same notice framework could enable other short‑term uses of that runway. Thur reported that a boneyard auction produced $53,660 in revenue and that airport staff are preparing items for removal and drafting agreements for parties that need extensions beyond the 90‑day removal clause.
Thur also said gates at the Greybull airport remain a concern and that forthcoming TSA security rule changes are likely to have some impact on operations. He reported that the move of a Veeder‑Root facility is generating unanticipated expenditures and that work on a flood‑plain development permit for the Rairden Bridge replacement is underway.
No formal actions or votes were taken on the airport items during the meeting; Thur said staff will continue to manage security, removal timelines and permit work and will bring updates as available.
