Council approves ordinance requiring airport commission voting members to be city residents, adds ad-hoc advisory seat
Summary
Ordinance 773 was approved to require the five voting members of the airport commission to be city residents and to create a nonvoting ad‑hoc advisory seat for someone with aviation experience or an airport ground lease; the ordinance also eliminated the secretary position and altered timing of chair/vice-chair elections.
Jolene returned ordinance 773 to the council after it was tabled at the prior meeting and summarized the changes: the ordinance requires the five voting airport-commission members be city residents while creating a nonvoting ad-hoc advisory seat for someone with active airport lease or aviation experience who may be a nonresident. She also explained the ordinance eliminates a secretary position and shifts chair and vice-chair elections to follow membership changes rather than annual elections.
A council member moved to approve ordinance 773 amending Chapter 31 of the city code; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff said the ordinance reflects feedback provided at the earlier meeting and is intended to strengthen resident representation while preserving access to technical aviation expertise via the advisory seat.
