Hayward airport master plan stalled at FAA; hangar lease renewal and Young Eagles events detailed
Summary
Airport staff told the committee the airport master plan is pending at the FAA with no timeline, flagged a 30-year hangar lease renewal in September, and promoted a pancake breakfast and Young Eagles flights to support cadet programs.
Airport staff (identified in the meeting as Leslie) told the Sawyer County Public Works Committee that the airport master plan is currently with the FAA and has no firm timeline for approval, and asked the board to place a hangar lease renewal on the August agenda so the board can prepare for a 30-year renewal in September.
"It's sitting on the FAA's desk," Leslie said of the master plan, adding that the county and state have "no idea" when progress will be visible. She also encouraged board members to attend a pancake breakfast on Sunday, July 12, to support the Air Patrol cadet program and described Young Eagles flights planned in August, noting prior years' participation and community involvement.
Leslie said a hangar lease is scheduled for a 30-year renewal in September and reminded the board that rules suggest starting renewal work six months prior. She asked that the hangar lease be added to the August agenda so the committee can prepare and asked for members to weigh options related to lease negotiations and hangar management.
The committee heard an update on operations and equipment—Leslie reported steady relations with airport neighbors, little complaint about late arrivals so far, and a potential 12-foot mower donation that could improve brushing. Board members asked staff to bring lease options and planning details to the next meeting; no formal action was taken at this session.
