Summary

Barbara Pape, a Bullhead City resident and airport committee member, told the board the Mohave County Airport Authority's governance and documentation are unclear and urged the county to ensure the airport serves Bullhead City and Mohave County.

Barbara Pape, who identified herself and gave her address to the record, told the board she has served on airport committees and voiced concerns about the Mohave County Airport Authority’s governance and documentation. "This is the 2nd time I've been on a airport committee," Pape said, and she said she believes documentation and clarity about which entity sponsors and controls the airport have been lacking.

Pape told the board she was worried the county's bid to exert additional oversight could force a court determination about sponsorship and control and said her "main goal here is to get the airport running in the best plan for Bullhead City and Mohave County." The board allowed the comment before proceeding to discuss and adopt a resolution authorizing condemnation proceedings.

The transcript records Pape’s concerns and the board’s subsequent motion but does not include a recorded response from the Mohave County Airport Authority itself in this meeting.
