Summary

The committee said an AIP order was placed for a front‑end loader with a large snow blower and a 12‑foot sweep; the equipment should arrive before winter to improve runway snow and ice removal.

Chair Chris Krohn reported the airport has ordered a front‑end loader equipped with a large snow blower and a 12‑foot sweep through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). He said the additional equipment should improve the airport's ability to keep the runway clear of snow and ice and is expected to be delivered before the coming winter season.

No delivery date beyond the general "before winter" timeline was provided in the meeting record; staff said the equipment would improve winter operations when it arrives.
