Usage uptick noted; board asks for revenue reporting and updates on aviation programs
Summary
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. Airport Manager Bill Calderwood said hangar leases are recorded by his office but other revenues (ramp, tie-down, and fuel flowage fees) are tracked by the County and do not appear on his budget sheets.
Coster noted a possible instructor, Chris Garcia, may complete instruction in Ely after returning from Utah, and Calderwood reported that "Hazel completed her solo flight this past week." Scott Brown asked about turnout for a 4-H aviation meeting; Coster said one family attended. The board recorded these public comments for follow-up and directed staff to include revenue detail in future reports.
