2021-03-14 MINUTES 2 <br /> <br />only certified fuel for Central Washington University’s Lycoming engines and until the fuel is <br />being distributed, the airport will not be providing G100UL. <br /> CWU is committed to the future of the airport and will continue to work with us to get an <br />unleaded fuel for their fleet and may eventually move into electric aircraft. The airport is excited <br />to move into the future of aviation in partnership with CWU. <br /> Director Grannan also discussed the need for a solution to the recent fuel outages. He will <br />be meeting with Midstate to see if there is a solution to the problem, and potentially look for <br />alternatives for emergency fueling if needed. Director Grannan should have an update by April’s <br />study session. <br /> <br />Taxilane Project <br />Director Grannan updated the BoCC on the airports upcoming taxilane project. The <br />airport has secured ALP funds that will be used to develop the taxiway, and the airport is in the <br />initial design phase. The west taxilane will run adjacent to the west apron, fourth of current T- <br />Hangars. Allowing for hangar development of Bowers rd. and future relocation of county owned <br />T-Hangars. The development of the taxilane will allow for Jet aircraft and larger planes access <br />which is not possible with the current taxilane. <br /> <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br /> Director Grannan is aware of the inconsistencies in the airports new T-Hangar leases. The <br />airport is working on creating an addendum to bring to the board for approval. <br /> The future of 7/25 was discussed briefly in the last AAC meeting. When the future of the <br />runway is decided it will be presented to the board. <br /> Commissioner Wright was curious about creating a pilot program with a commercial <br />airline for Central. It was brought to his attention after reading about Alaska Airlines new pilot <br />program in Hillsboro, OR. to deal with the pilot shortage. It was learned that Central has a <br />developmental program in conjunction with Horizon Airlines, which has been working with the <br />program for a few years now. <br /> Director Grannan brought up the possibility of having an A&P (Airframe and <br />Powerplant) school on our airport. The discussion went no further and will be brought up again if <br />there is any more information on the matter. <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 11:46 AM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br />Ken Grannan Laura Osiadacz, Chairman <br />
