Council asks about hangar fire inspections after airport update
Summary
Councilmember Mike Wilkinson asked whether the city performs fire inspections of airport hangars; City Administrator Steve Goemmel said he visits the airport and looks through hangars but the fire department has not inspected them formally.
During an airport committee update, Councilmember Mike Wilkinson asked whether the city conducts fire inspections of hangars at Davenport Airport. City Administrator Steve Goemmel responded that he "goes through the airport quite often and looks through the hangers, but the fire department has not inspected them." Wilkinson’s question followed a committee report on airport compliance and infrastructure.
The exchange highlighted a gap in formal fire-department inspections at the hangars as stated at the meeting; the council did not direct staff to schedule inspections during this session. The item was noted during committee reporting rather than taken as a formal action.
Council members did not further debate the safety oversight question at the meeting; any follow-up would require a future agenda item or administrative direction.
