Commission hears budget update, terminal improvements and event plans
Summary
Staff reported a modest year-end surplus (figures cited in the $31,000–$34,000 range and an overall reported balance near $42,000), outlined terminal painting and furniture schedules, and discussed events including a possible United Way kickoff and moving the Young Eagles event to September.
Staff told the commission the new budget year is in effect and reported a year-end surplus in the $31,000–$34,000 range and a current fund balance the staff read as about $42,000; staff noted last-year bills arriving could alter final figures. Staff attributed some savings to solar panels and LED lighting.
Staff described terminal improvements under way — painting is largely complete, new flooring and furniture deliveries are scheduled (furniture expected in August, with a specific delivery date mentioned as the 20th for some items) and staff is obtaining pricing to replace or upgrade the shop office air conditioning unit if budget allows.
On community events, staff said discussions are ongoing with United Way to host a seasonal kickoff at an airport hangar and that the Young Eagles event is being considered for an earlier September date to avoid October weather risks. Staff also described a Kirkwood partnership to provide maintenance program shadowing for students.
No budget reallocation or new capital commitments were approved at the meeting; staff said they will proceed with planned maintenance and bring costed proposals for significant items if needed.
