Airport manager reports rise in activity, repair needs and a beehive concern
Summary
Airport manager Ellen McCann told council airport activity and fuel sales are up; she flagged a heat-pump repair likely around $2,000, reported a beehive on the taxiway and said a contractor quoted $500 to remove it.
Airport manager Ellen McCann reported that airport activity is up compared with last year and said fuel sales have increased. McCann described maintenance needs, including a heat-pump unit that will require repair or a part; she estimated the total at about $1,600–$2,000 and asked whether the council could consider a budget amendment to cover the cost.
McCann also raised a safety issue: a large beehive on airport property that complicates moving equipment and could endanger staff. She reported that "there's a guy named Michael Feldman that I spoke with. He said he could do it for $500," and staff discussed equipment limitations for lifting and removing the hive safely. McCann summarized operational metrics: "Overall, our activity is up," and noted they have increased fuel sales compared to the same time last year.
