6. General Business & Reports
6.1. Tree Removal Plan and Progress
Vance Czerwinski provided an update to the Committee. The tree removal is being
included in the 2017 Budget submission. Included are the cost of tree clearing,
acquisition of adjacent property, and legal costs. Budget deliberations are taking place
during October and November. Vance also advised that Council toured the Airport
earlier in the day and are aware of the issues being addressed.
Discussion ensued about potential options such as land trades and clearing only the
Airport owned property. Clearing the two remaining acres of Airport land and the end of
the runway would result in a 5,000’ threshold.
6.2. Scheduled Asphalt Work
Vance Czerwinski advised that the long anticipated taxiway asphalt work will begin the
week of September 26th. The $37,000 in Budget carryover from previous years will
cover the paving cost, and an estimated $5,000 in required culvert remediation will
come from the existing operations budget.
