Summary

The council approved Ordinance No. 3111 for a MoDOT State Block Grant to build T-hangars at Kennett Memorial Airport and approved a Jewel Aviation FBO lease and an Airport Management Agreement with Sam Jewell, all described as unchanged from prior terms.

The Kennett City Council approved several airport-related actions, including an ordinance authorizing a state block grant for T-hangar construction and two routine management agreements.

Ordinance No. 3111 authorizes the mayor to execute a State Block Grant Agreement with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for the design and construction of T-hangars at Kennett Memorial Airport. Council Member Steve Panousis moved the ordinance, Council Member Mark Bryant seconded, and the motion passed.

Council then approved a Real Estate Lease and fixed-base operator (FBO) agreement with Jewel Aviation after Mayor Crafton described the agreement as the same as past approvals. The council also approved an Airport Management Agreement with Sam Jewell; Panousis moved and Bryant seconded the airport management approval. Council did not discuss changes to compensation or operational scope during the meeting.

These approvals allow the city to proceed with state grant paperwork and continue existing airport management arrangements; any contract or grant implementation details will be handled by staff under the agreements approved by the council.
