F. Airport Housekeeping: Skinner states that he is working on cleaning up the area between the maintenance hangar and Sky’s hangar. Commission discusses wing jig outside of Maces hangar with DeBoer. DeBoer states that there really isn’t another spot for it, unless it is being used inside of a hangar. DeBoer states that his lease is up next year and if the City and Commission would like they can add another charge into the lease for the area the wing jig takes up. DeBoer will look into cleaning up any other items outside his bank of hangars. Commission discusses possible policy regarding items kept outside the envelope of the hangars and how people use the airport. Skinner states that people are walking there dogs and riding “glide” cycles around on the taxi-way and this can present a serious safety hazard if they are not aware of the day to day operations of the Airport. Skinner would like Commissions recommendation on how to deal with these situations. Zeve states that people moving around on the airport proper give it a “life”. Scott states that people who are unfamiliar with airport operations present a safety hazard. Commission discusses possible designated safety area on the airport grounds. Skillman states that the FAA regulates the allowed activities on the apron, taxiway and runway and these types of activities are not allowed. Commission trusts in Skinners good judgment to handle the situations as he sees fit. Commission agrees that the demo of the glide cycles on the Airport taxi-ways is a safety hazard and does not follow the minimum standards when it comes to a business that is not aviation related. Wolske will work on possible policy details regarding these issues for the December meeting.
