Summary
Airport manager reported that airfield technician Steve Volk accepted a city heavy equipment operator job and a new controller, Rodney Potter, joined from South Bend; the board heard an update on B-29 and T-6 flights and a blimp scheduled to return August 3.
During the airport manager's report, staff announced that airfield maintenance technician Steve Volk received and accepted a position with the city as a heavy equipment operator; the position will remain vacant for 30 days per union rules before being filled. The manager also introduced a new air traffic controller, Rodney Potter, who joined the airport staff from South Bend and is expected to be cleared to work independently after local checks.
The manager described a busy week of visitors: a B-29 crew arrived and operated from the north ramp, accompanied by a T-6, and staff sold rides; the manager invited board members and the public to view a blimp expected to return on August 3. "They sold rides in the B-29," the manager said, noting the events drew good crowds and that staff coordination enabled the visits.
