SPECIAL MEETING BOWERS FIELD MAIN HANGAR PUBLIC WORKS
Vice-Chairman Osiadacz opened a Special Meeting to consider the sale
of a Main Hangar at the Bowers Field Airport.
Mark Cook, Public Works Director, provided information to the Board
on a request they received from a person who is interested in
purchasing the main hangar at the Bowers Field Airport. He said he
had approached the Airport Advisory Board about the request and they
were all unanimously opposed to it. He reviewed the costs of
maintaining the hangar properly; annual revenue that’s generated
through leases; and the process which would need to be adhered to if
the Board decided to go in the direction of selling the hangar. It
was noted the sale would only be for the hangar and not land.
Vice-Chairman Osiadacz said she was cautious about moving forward
too quickly and would like the chance to hold a joint meeting with
the Airport Advisory Board to hear their concerns of why they are
opposed to selling the hangar. Commissioner O’Brien agreed with
having a joint meeting to hear the reasoning behind opposing the
request. Mr. Cook was directed to schedule a joint meeting between
the Board of County Commissioners and the Airport Advisory Board.
Meeting adjourned at 2:05 p.m.
