3.E. Discuss long term vision, planning and privatization.
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada informed the Board of a conversation he had with a gentleman about possible privatization of the airport. They discussed utilities needing to be extended to the airport and what that would cost, the need for zoning changes, paving roads around the airport, and other things as well. There is a lot more to privatizing the airport than he was anticipating, for both parties, but he is willing to work through what needs to be done. It will be quite a process if it all works out, but nothing has been set in motion yet.
Subject:
3.F. Discuss the Airport Improvement Plan.
Discussion:
Olsson engineer Chris Corr suggested the 2024 project to be a design only for 2024 and start bids in 2025 to allow time to work through FFA's process and to see where the funds line up. The plan itself is ready to present to the Council for approval.
