Wilson Creek council votes to temporarily close airstrip after hangar fire
Summary
Following discussion of a recent airport hangar fire and a recommendation for a third-party investigator to assess wood damage, the council voted to temporarily close the town airstrip until property protection is verified.
Council discussed a recent fire in an airport hangar and reports that a third-party investigator or engineer (Northwest Code Professionals, referenced via Steve George) will need to assess wood damage. Councilmembers expressed concern about liability related to operating the airport.
A motion to temporarily close the airstrip until the town can verify property protection was made by Councilmember Kellie Ribail, seconded by Councilmember Shirley Billings, and carried.
