Council appoints Mike Conlon to airport commission and approves easement for airport electricity
Summary
The council appointed Mike Conlon to the airport commission through 06/30/2029 and authorized an electric-line easement to allow Alliant Energy to extend power to leased acres used by Wayne Moss for crop-dusting operations at the airport.
Council approved two airport-related items: the appointment of Mike Conlon to the airport commission for a three-year term expiring June 30, 2029, and a resolution authorizing the mayor and clerk to sign an electric-line easement that will allow Alliant Energy to place a pole and extend electricity to leased acres used for crop-dusting operations.
Staff explained that Alliant Energy will run the line from near the recycling center across a ditch to serve Wayne Moss’s leased acres. "Alliant's bringing energy across from the recycling center across the ditch there," staff said while describing the easement requirement. Council moved and passed both items by roll call.
Why it matters: the appointment fills a regular advisory seat on the airport commission, and the easement enables electricity to an operational aviation-related lessee, which has minor operational and safety implications for airport users.
