Commission asks tenant to return with detailed plan on porta‑potty and wash station at hangar #16
Summary
A tenant requested permission for a porta‑potty and wash station to support seasonal fire crews at hangar #16; commissioners acknowledged operational benefits but cited precedent, maintenance, and access concerns and asked the tenant to submit a detailed proposal addressing location, servicing, timing, and justification.
The airport commission discussed a request from hangar tenant Robin Olterman for a porta‑potty and wash station at or near hangar #16 to support seasonal Oregon Department of Forestry crews.
Commissioners recognized the operational benefits of onsite restroom and wash facilities but raised concerns about precedent (what could be stored along hangar exteriors), maintenance and servicing responsibility, service‑truck access, and the five‑foot exterior area adjacent to hangars. Commissioners noted that other seasonal operations have used porta‑potties but that lease arrangements and placement vary.
The commission directed Robin to prepare and return with a specific proposal that identifies a proposed location, servicing plan, timeframe, and operational justification; staff will consider whether disconnection, alternative placement, or use of terminal plumbing is more appropriate depending on the water billing situation.
Next steps: tenant to complete feasibility and cost review and return with a formal proposal for commission consideration.
