Subject:
4.A. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding management and FBO options for the Crete Municipal Airport..
Discussion:
Since Elevate Air Services (EAS) is not going to provide Fixed Base Operator (FBO) or Management services at the Crete Municipal Airport beginning April 1, 2023, options for replacements were discussed. Ideally, an FBO that would provide the management services would be contracted. If this isn't possible, the FBO and Manager positions would have to be contracted or employed separately. The lease on the fuel equipment may have to be altered as well. Some established FBOs in the region could be contacted to see if they are willing to expand into the Crete Municipal Airport. The City Human Resources Office may be able to use their resources to advertise for open positions.
Action(s):
Motion Carried:
Recommend to the City Council to authorize the advertisement of the open Fixed Base Operator contract and Airport Manager position. Carried with a motion by Kirk Keller and a second by Anthony Fitzgerald.
  • Anthony Fitzgerald: Aye
  • Greg Hier: Aye
  • Kirk Keller: Aye
  • Howard Nitzel: Aye
  • Blaine Spanjer: Aye
Subject:
4.B. Discuss consultant selection for federally funded improvement projects.
Discussion:
The City will have to solicit a consultant for the next federally funded project. The information needed from the Nebraska Department of Transportation, Aeronautics Division, has not been received yet. When that information is received, the process will begin.
Subject:
4.C. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a quote to remove concrete by Dynamic Dirtwork & Demolition LLC at a cost of $6,800.
Discussion:
The quote from Dynamic Dirtworks Demolition LLC is very reasonable and much less than the first quote received. A smaller truck may need to be used to get the ruble where it needs to be dumped, and can be worked out with the City.
Action(s):
Motion Carried:
Recommend to the City Council to approve the quote from Dynamic Dirtworks and Demolition LLC for removal of the concrete ruble. Carried with a motion by Anthony Fitzgerald and a second by Greg Hier.
  • Anthony Fitzgerald: Aye
  • Greg Hier: Aye
  • Kirk Keller: Aye
  • Howard Nitzel: Aye
  • Blaine Spanjer: Aye
