Board approves snowmobile-testing use of airport-adjacent area; permit to be donation-based
Summary
Commissioners approved a permit for a vendor to use an area near the airport for snowmobile testing; the user provided insurance and the apparent fee structure will be a donation similar to last year's arrangement rather than a fixed charge.
Board members discussed an application for a vendor to perform snowmobile tests using areas adjacent to the runway. Commissioners confirmed the vendor had provided an insurance certificate and that the tests would be staged away from active runways. Members said the vendor had good prior experience in the area and that previous arrangements included a donation to the airport (last year cited as $1,000).
After confirming safety and insurance, the board voted in favor of the permit. The Chair explained the donation-based approach: the fee amount was not fixed at the meeting; members expected a similar donation level to prior years but deferred to later reporting when the donation is received.
