AIRPORT MANAGER’S REPORT

STAT Air: Has not emptied out the hangars yet.

Martin Hangar Door?

International Fire Truck: Do we need to keep it?

New Gate Code: Any suggestions?

Purchased water filled fire extinguishers for the two mowers, planning to get one for the pickup.

The fire department came out to do a little training with the fire truck and look over the equipment. None of the equipment has been touched in a few years; generator and cutting saw wouldn’t start. The breathing apparatuses have batteries that are supposed to be replaced and the tanks need hydro testing every 5 years. Jon Bengochea is supposed to be responsible for these items and I have emailed him to follow up on it.

I have called 5 contractors to get bids for replacing the windows in the back of the terminal building.

We will be repairing the walls and repainting the rooms that STAT Air moved out of.

Replacing the brushes on the runway broom, I need to get a few bristles for this replacement. The next replacement we will need to buy an entire set of the poly bristles.

The F-150 error code about the throttle body came back, so it may need to be replaced as well as have the four wheel drive looked at before winter. I have the fire truck and F-150 going in for oil changes this week.

Oshkosh Specials: I have purchased bottled water and ice cream to give to pilots.
