Board approves airport permit for equipment tests; organizers to provide donation and insurance
Summary
The board approved a permit for equipment testing near the county airport with organizers providing a donation instead of a fixed fee and submitting an insurance certificate; organizers said the test brings local spending to motels and businesses.
Board members approved a permit for a group to conduct equipment tests using snow areas adjacent to the airport runways, after committee members confirmed the organizers had provided an insurance certificate and planned to give a donation. "It's a donation," the Chair said when asked about the fee, and members recalled last year's donation was $1,000.
Committee members noted organizers prefer a secluded stretch rather than the runway itself, confirmed they would stay within sound and exhaust limits, and said the tests typically bring lodging and spending to local businesses. The board voted in favor of the permit after a motion and second on the record.
