Board noted an increase in instruction-plane operations in January and requested a clearer revenue report and biennial review of fee schedules; public-comments included a potential returning instructor and a student solo-flight update.

Chairman Tim Parish presented the January airport usage report and said two instruction planes increased the number of operations. During public comment, Mike Coster asked that revenue reporting be added to the Airport Managers operational report and suggested fee schedules be reviewed every two years.
