Committee member praises airport management, cites overdue maintenance caught up
Summary
A Committee member told the advisory board it is "very pleased" with airport management, saying long-delayed maintenance has been addressed and the facility is now poised for development projects.
A Committee member on the advisory board told colleagues the board is "very pleased with the way the airport is going," calling it "probably 1 of the county's most valuable assets." The speaker said recent projects are "leading to the long term improvement of the facility" and that the board has no current issues with management.
The member said the board was previously behind schedule — "we were 6 years late in getting that process going" — but that maintenance work is now largely caught up. "I was shocked to find out how maintenance deficient that airport was when gas took over," the Committee member said, crediting the current management program with substantial progress. The speaker added that meetings have shifted from confrontation to dialogue, with fewer audience grievances and a more cooperative tone.
Board members framed the maintenance work as a corrective phase that allows the airport to move from crisis management to planning for future growth. The speaker recommended commissioners take note of the progress and suggested the board will soon focus on additional development items raised in recent meetings.
