Airport manager asks county to reconsider hangar permit classification to keep planes stored locally
Summary
Dale Thomas, Gooding Airport Manager, asked the board to consider reclassifying some cold-storage hangars that were rezoned commercial to reduce permit fees, saying higher costs drive plane owners to neighboring airports; Prosecuting Attorney Misseldine said Patrick Galloway will research the matter.
Dale Thomas, identified in the minutes as the Gooding Airport Manager for the city, told commissioners that permit fees for cold-storage hangars have increased since the hangars were rezoned commercial. He said many hangars lack sheetrock, insulation or power and that higher permit fees reduce the airport’s ability to retain plane owners, who instead move storage to nearby airports.
Prosecuting Attorney Misseldine told the board he would have Patrick Galloway investigate the zoning and permit-classification question; the issue will be discussed again in two weeks according to the minutes. No formal motion or ordinance change was made at this meeting.
