Board approves weather camera at Mission Field with state match and donor commitments
Summary
The board approved proceeding with a weather camera installation at Mission Field. Montana Aeronautics will install the unit and pay roughly half (~$4,000) of an estimated $8,000 cost; two private donors each pledged $2,000 toward the local share.
The City-County Joint Airport Board approved proceeding with installation of a weather camera at Mission Field, a safety measure the board said would provide real-time conditions to pilots and emergency services. The chair reported Montana Aeronautics installs this system and covers about 50% of the cost; the board recorded the total project estimate at roughly $8,000 and said two private donors had each committed $2,000 toward the remainder.
A committee member moved to proceed with the camera installation; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The chair said he has email confirmation from the Montana Aeronautics staffer who installs the units and asked staff to give the vendor a heads-up so installation can proceed as funding arrives. Board members described the camera as a safety tool pilots could use to view runway and taxiway conditions in real time.
