3. Old Business
A. Box Hangar Roof Repairs- Kathol reports that two of the repairs had been completed for a total of
$4800. She states the contractor also did some extra repairs as well. Skinner states that he’s
optimistic that the repairs will solve the problems moving forward.
B. Council Airport Commission Report- Report is contained in meeting packet, Wolske relays that
Council has postponed the Commission Report and it has not been presented as of yet.
C. Action Item List:
a. Airport Entrance Landscaping- Kathol reports that the process continues. City staff has
been in contact with KenCairn Landscape Architecture, who did the design. Construction will
be placed out to bid shortly, more than likely bids will be put out to public bid. The project is
taking a little longer than planned, and Kathol hopes to have it completed by the end of
January.
b. Commission Member Vacancies- Schoen recommends that someone from JLC should be
present on the Commission. Woslke states that has been a precedent in the past but that it’s
up to them to show interest. Commission will keep eyes and ears out for potential
commissioners.
c. Airport Maintenance Plan- Metcalf mentions that there has been little movement on this.
However, talks between Public Works and Parks departments have been taking place. Metcalf
states he’s been trying to get more momentum, but events have postponed further
solidification of the Airport Maintenance Plan as departments have been shorthanded. Metcalf
will continue to pursue. Wolske wonders if private landscape contracts could be pursued at
this point, rather than Parks and Recreation. Kathol states she is supportive of looking into the
costs of a private company. Metcalf agrees, he mentions that the contract is up in June of
2021, also stating his support for looking into estimated costs for private companies to do the
work. Kathol requests Commission to put together their minimum requirements to present for
cost estimate accuracy. Wolske states the Airport Maintenance Work Group would be in a
good position to put those requirements together. Vandenberg agrees to do so.

height, as well as tree location. However, when the survey has been completed it will be bird
migration season and it will not be possible to have the trees cut this year. More possibilities
will be pursued by City Staff in hopes of finding a more economical and long-term solution to
this issue. Wolske states that in the past there have been talks with neighboring homeowners
about removing the trees in question and would like to see that pursued once again by City
Staff. Commission discusses liability and easements. Commission discusses further.
