Airport operations: gate sensor fix estimated at $400; one hangar available
Summary
Staff and Steve Brent reported routine airport operations: a failing magnetic exit sensor will likely be fixed with a post and keypad for about $400, fuel sales remain roughly steady at $5,000, and Larry Peterson has vacated a hangar that is now available.
Airport staff and maintenance leads updated the advisory board on routine operations and facility issues, including a small gate repair estimate, steady fuel sales and an available hangar.
Steve Brent reported the gate exit sensor (a magnetic sensor) was not working well with the installed system. "The sensor to get outside of the gate, the exit sensor is magnetic, and it was not working well with the system out there," Brent said, and added that the equipment manufacturer recommended installing another post and an exit keypad for an additional "roughly $400." Board members noted that without a working exit sensor the gate function was impaired: "We can get in, but we can't get out," one member said.
On operational matters, board members commended Brent's crew for snow clearing and routine taxiway maintenance; staff said lighting and fuel systems are being monitored and prioritized based on available funds. A board member reported typical fuel sales of about $5,000.
The board was also informed that Larry Peterson had vacated his hangar, making that space available, and staff said they have a potential interested party. Members also discussed that the contractor agreement with Lochner for new hangars had been approved and that details of timing and bidding remain in Ian's hands.
The meeting moved to the public-comment period (no substantive public remarks were recorded in the transcript excerpt) and then was adjourned by voice vote.
