Summary

The board signed a land-lease for a privately purchased airport hangar and approved a $1,444 bid to replace chain-link fencing to increase airport security. Airport manager raised utility and fuel-motor replacement questions and proposed QR-code tie-down payments.

Daryl and Brenda Oster attended the March 9 meeting to request county signature on a land-lease for a hangar they purchased at the Jerome County airport. Daryl Oster questioned whether water utilities were included in rent; county staff said Marty had told them water was included but the lease did not specify payment details.

Chairman Ben Crouch moved to sign the lease for the Osters; the motion passed unanimously. Airport manager Marty Luhr also presented bids to replace sections of chain-link fence and reported a quote to replace an aging electric motor on the fuel tank from the 1970s. The board accepted a $1,444 bid for fencing to increase security and discussed using QR-code or credit-card payments for tie-down fees.

Marty said airport-day outreach materials (shirts and pamphlets) had been ordered and suggested QR-code payments similar to other county sites to collect tie-down fees remotely.
