FBO Present: Bob Skinner
Members Absent: None
Council Member Present: Shaun Moran
Staff Present: Chance Metcalf
Guests: None
1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - 06/01/21
Wolske moves to approve minutes as corrected by Herdklotz that “the Airport Emergency
Plan would also be shared with other Airports”. Herdklotz seconds, All ayes, motion carries.
2. Commissioner Announcements – Herdklotz mentions that she would like to see Ashland Airport provide youth
programs similar to Medford in the future. Wolske apologizes for missing last meeting.
3. Public Forum – None
4. Unfinished Business
A. Airport Security – Dahle stated that this topic has been brought up due to theft on the airport
premises as well as non-airport personnel/users on the airfield side of the airport. Dahle Mentions
that he knows the Airport Master Plan addresses security in future projects but asks the
commission if anything needs addressed now. Skinner states that he doesn’t think there has been
major issues with Security but mentions that he has noticed smaller incidents such as the dumpster
getting filled over the weekend. Skinner suggests if we had usable video footage of these incidents
it would help. Skinner states that they are equipped with alarm systems but have no video.
Palomino Sates that we should pursue this further and mentions that they have had incidents at
Brim Aviation as well. Dahle agrees that we should keep this on the agenda and suggests that
Commissioners review the Master Plan and come back next meeting to discuss creating a work
group to move forward with this topic. Skinner asks if the City can confirm the Airport patrols with
the Police Department. Metcalf states he will reach out to confirm and get back to the
Commission. Wolske reiterates that gates have been brought up in the past but thinks its not an
attractive solution and would like to see more effort with the electronic surveillance solution.
B. Action Item List-
a. Commission Member Vacancies – Spera states that he worked with Elizabeth Taylor to
provide information in the July City Source to recruit for the Airport Commission. Dahle
reminds the Commission that we still have one opening and to continue with public outreach.
b. Airport Maintenance Plan – Metcalf mentions that he spoke with Administration and they
stated they would not be able to provide a resolution to this agreement at this time or in the
near future as we have had too much staff turnover as well as multiple other hurdles for the
pandemic. Metcalf mentions that Administration stated that it is not just with the Airport
agreement as its with all things regarding the City. Their priority is to get through the
ASHLAND AIRPORT COMMISSION

pandemic changes and bring the staff level back to maintain City infrastructure then they will
come back to the agreement discussions. Metcalf states he was reassured from Parks that
they will maintain the level of service they have been able to provide thus far. Skinner
mentions he would like a document including a schedule to follow but states the service has
been managed well thus far. Dahle states he doesn’t want it to be forgotten about and would
like to revisit the agreement sooner rather than later but understands the Cities situation.
Herdklotz asks if a volunteer group can assist with maintenance. Metcalf answers yes but
would be required to fill out forms with the City to do so. Metcalf suggests giving Parks the
opportunity and see how it goes.
c. Flight Path Trees - Metcalf presents the completed survey and states that it just has basic
information in it. Metcalf mentions that he was presented with old information that could help
put specific tree data on our survey and suggests moving forward with it. Dahle asks if It will
impact the original financial agreement with the surveyor. Metcalf states that it will but it
shouldn’t be a significant increase as he already has some of the data.
d. Airport Emergency Preparedness – Campbell mentions that after review and edits of the
Airport Commission it would then go to the City for review. Wolske suggests naming CERT
as a possible stakeholder within the document. Wolske also mentions that because the Fire
Department and Police Department play a large role in the document, he would like them to
review it as well. Dahle mentions that we should add the Airport Commission as an
additional reviewer every twelve months. Schoen asks for clarification on who gets to decide
whether the runway gets closed. Skinner wants to make sure its better defined that the
Incident Command role would work in conjunction with him on the needs of the Airport.
Schoen asks if the radio communication would be maintained in an emergency situation.
Skinner confirms that yes, they would maintain some form of radio communication. Dahle
confirms next steps are to make the recommended changes and bring back to the Airport
Commission. Dahle states that after next meeting with the Commission support it would go
to the City for review.
e. Airport Riparian Restoration – Wolske states his intention with this is to get the City to
recognize and take action with the needs of the Riparian area along the Airport Property.
Palomino asks if the pedestrian bridge laying along the side of the riparian area can be
removed from the property. Palomino mentions that Brim is willing to assist if need be.
Metcalf asks about the background of how it was placed there. Wolske stated that it was
placed there years ago with the idea they would eventually use it to go across the creek, but
it has since been decided that it’s not an option. Skinner states it has been there for 28 years
with nothing done. Metcalf mentions that he will investigate seeing if it can be moved and get
back to the Commission. Dahle mentions that we need to make sure that the riparian area is
within the purview of the Airport Commission or within the Cities. Dahle asks if this is
something that should be on the action item list. Wolske responds that he has no problem
with it not being on the action item list but wants it to stay in our minds and not be forgotten.
Dahle asks if the Commission is interested in having an Airport Commission mission
statement with values and goals. The Commission provided support and in return Dahle
stated that he would start working on that and bring it back for review.

5. New Business
A. Airport Budget Presentation – Metcalf presents the biennium Airport budget related to material
and services off the documents provided in the packet. Metcalf states that the Airport Commission does not
oversee the materials and services accounts within the Airport budget but wanted to give the commission a
better understanding of what items came out of these accounts. Metcalf states that staff time, utility bills,
parks maintenance, surveyors, consultants, and all infrastructure maintenance are just a few bigger item
examples of what comes out of these accounts. Dahle asks what the best way to find out the background of
the material services account. Metcalf states that he will get back to the Commission after the meeting via
email. Metcalf presented the Capital Outlay budget based on the document in the packet.
B. Review Airport Capital Project List – Metcalf presented the Project list based on the document in
the packet. Metcalf listed scheduled and unscheduled projects. Metcalf mentions the backup generator
project listed on the project list could possibly be done in-house and will look into costs and bring it back.
Skinner mentions that Grants Pass received grants for their back up generator. Metcalf asks if he had a
contact. Skinner states that it is Larry Graves, and he sees him on a regular basis. Skinner states he will
catch up with him and get back to Metcalf.
C. Airport Commission Meeting Policy (virtual vs in-person) – Dahle reminds the Commission
that no matter their decision today they will need to stay virtual at least until October due to limited staff.
Wolske stated that he would like to stay virtual as it is less intrusive to his schedule. Metcalf states that
when they get staff there and trained, they could elect to do a combination of both or of all one or the other
as long as they were consistent as in all members virtual or all members in person. Dahle asks if that is a
requirement or a preference. Metcalf responds that he is not sure and will get back to the commission
following the meeting via email. Dahle asks if the commission would like to go back to in person. The
Commission was not responsive to it. Dahle suggested that he would like to see the commission meet in
person at least once a year. Dahle suggests bringing this back for a decision in September to give
everyone some time to think on it. The commission was supportive.
D. Airport: Good Neighbor Items – Skinner mentioned the Airport had one complaint about
helicopter operations on the Airport. The citizen called with a concern to the amount of helicopter use
towards the northwest section of the Airport. Skinner responded that he would contact the operator to see if
they could move their operation to the other side of the Airport and the citizen was very responsive to the
idea as was the operator. Skinner mentioned that he issued NOTAMS for the geo ex work needed for the
Taxiway Rehab project. Skinner mentioned that the City was able to mow down the majority of the higher
brush along the runway which has been a big improvement. Dahle mentioned that he responded to a citizen
that is not happy with the new approach pattern for Medford Airport as the are flying over an area of Ashland
they previously did not. Dahle stated he explained to the citizen why that is and included some approach
charts for him to reference. Metcalf mentioned that Dahle’s response was outstanding and easy to follow.
Skinner mentioned that he has been working with Cascade Approach for flyers to provide info to the local
pilots that are now available at the FBO.
6. FBO Report – Skinner states that nothing out of the ordinary to report. Skinner states that the May figure is
about the average take in per month and that it should be going up slightly in July.

AREA DESCRIPTION
The areas to be maintained includes the following categories and approximate total areas:
Irrigated lawn around FBO office 0.01 acres (443 sf)

a) Mow non-irrigated areas along runways and taxiways. This may require weed whacking
along fence lines where mowers are not effective (38 acres)
ALTERNATE BID
1) Annually, perform weed abatement, 18 acres.
Internal comment: I suggest we continue to have our regular applicator do this work. It is a
complex and sensitive job, politically and environmentally, requiring special products and
procedures to avoid contaminating nearby Neil Creek. It costs a little less than $5,000 when
performed by our regular applicator. He does an excellent job and has developed good
relationships with the businesses.
2) Annually, prune, thin, and chip trees and brush behind 468 Applegate Way for safety hazard to
parking areas.
Internal comment: This refers to taxlot 391E13BB – 100, the 2.3-acre triangle-shaped parcel on
the southeast corner of the airport. Vegetation management was performed by Public Works in
2019, in which they just mowed a lot of herbaceous and shrub/scrub wetland plants. It is almost
all jurisdictional wetland. We’ll need to avoid migratory bird nesting season. If I recall correctly, I
believe it was the County who asked us to clean it up for road safety. DSL gave us the green light
to mow a wetland. I’m not convinced we need to contract this out – seemed like an easy
morning job for PW staff.

Purpose
The purpose of this plan is to ensure the safe and efficient handling of any emergency situation
that may arise at Ashland Municipal Airport-Sumner Parker Field when the airport is directly
affected, or when there is an emergency impacting the City of Ashland and the airport might
serve as a valuable resource. It is intended to maximize collaboration between the Airport
Manager, airport staff, and emergency organizations so that they can carry out their
responsibilities efficiently in either case.
Note that, in addition to this document, a brief reference guide titled Airport Emergency
Procedures is included in the emergency kit located at the airport, which provides additional
guidance to specific emergency situations.
Introduction
We recognize that all emergency situations cannot be anticipated. If an emergency situation
arises that is not covered in this plan, the Airport Manager has the authority to direct such actions
as he or she may deem necessary.
This plan was approved and adopted on _________________________________.
Airport Emergency Plan Coordinator
Consistent with the Emergency Plan for the City of Ashland, the coordinator of this plan will be
the Fire Chief or a designated representative, who will be responsible for the administration and
review processes of this plan and who will ensure full implementation of these procedures during
any emergency or disaster condition. Emergency response will vary depending on hazard-
specific conditions as contained herein, and Incident Command will be established consistent
with Ashland, Oregon and Jackson County emergency response procedures and National
Incident Management System (NIMS) guidelines.
Basic Assumptions
In developing this plan, we considered the following:
§ How best to work together as a team and use the resources of the city, county, and
airport.
§ How to manage communications at the airport during an emergency.
§ How to hand off control as the availability of staff and the nature of the emergency
changes.
§ How to coordinate radio frequencies so that all emergency responders can communicate
effectively with each other.
§ Where to go during an emergency.
§ How to inform tenants and other airport users about the emergency.
§ How to restrict access and control bystanders during an emergency.

6
Functional Areas
This section provides information on tasks and core responsibilities that may be applied to all
airport emergencies. Detailed information particular to specific emergency situations is found in
the standard operating procedures for hazard-specific areas.
Note: Many general aviation airports do not have enough staff to designate an individual to cover
each function. FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-31C recognizes this and states that in many
instances these roles may need to be combined or may include off-airport expertise.
1. Command and Control
Command and control of an airport emergency situation will vary depending on the type of
emergency and the response required. The Incident Command System (ICS) will be utilized
consistent with Jackson County emergency procedures.
In case of emergency, the Fire Chief will be the main point of contact for the duration of the
incident with respect to the implementation of this plan in coordination with the Airport Manager
and Incident Command.
The FBO office located at the airport, will be the first choice for the Emergency Operations
Center (EOC).
The Jackson County Emergency Management Director will assist in providing resource
coordination between government agencies and the private sector as needed per Incident
Command.
2. Communication
Primary communication for responding agencies will be through the use of communication
radios using Jackson County emergency frequencies.
In the event secondary communications are needed, equipment may include electronic
communications, cell phones, amateur radio, or secondary Jackson County communication
equipment.
As appropriate, the UNICOM frequency (122.8) for the Ashland Municipal Airport-Sumner
Parker Field as well as the standard civilian aircraft emergency frequency of 121.5 will be
actively monitored.
3. Alert Notifications and Warning
The airport manager, representative, or airport tenants will be responsible for initiating a 911 call
in the event of an emergency.
Note: Notifications regarding airport emergencies may also be reported by the general public in
some cases.
The Airport Manager will coordinate with Incident Command to notify the appropriate aviation
agencies. Incident Command will be responsible for ensuring that notifications are made to
protect the general public.
7
The Fire Chief will notify the appropriate key Jackson County government and private
organization officials.
Dispatch of emergency personnel will be the responsibility of Jackson County
dispatch after alert notification is received.
4. Emergency Public Information
Airport management will coordinate with Incident Command to ensure actions are taken to
protect the public in the event of an emergency. Instructions will be delivered to the public
through the following methods:
____________________________________________________
____________________________________________________

Incident Command may assign a public information officer (PIO) to work within the Incident
Command System (ICS) and coordinate public information.
Media briefings will be coordinated through Incident Command and the PIO per implementation
of the media plan on page ________.
5. Protective Actions
The Airport Manager will coordinate with Incident Command to ensure actions are taken to
protect the public in accordance with procedures for Jackson County emergency management
and airport operations.
Evacuation/protect-in-place procedures will be coordinated through Incident Command. The
Airport Manager will work through the ICS to assist with evacuations of airport buildings.
6. Law Enforcement
Law enforcement agencies, including the City of Ashland Police Department and the Jackson
County Sheriff’s Department, will ensure the availability of sufficient numbers of qualified and
trained law enforcement personnel to support an airport emergency. Law enforcement will
coordinate multijurisdictional law enforcement response and any required mutual aid.
Law enforcement will establish security for all airport emergency scenes and coordinate the
control of traffic control points and access with the Airport Manager. Law enforcement agencies
will assume Incident Command for situations involving bomb threats or terrorism and coordinate
with Incident Command for all other emergencies.
7. Firefighting and Rescue
In collaboration with other local districts, the Ashland Fire Department will ensure the
availability of sufficient numbers of qualified and trained personnel in aircraft rescue operations
to support an airport emergency. The Ashland Fire Department will coordinate appropriate
response and recovery operations including any mutual aid needed.
Fire department personnel will assume Incident Command for all fire suppression, search and
rescue, or coordinate with Incident Command as required.

8. Health and Medical Services
The Asante Ashland Community Hospital will provide emergency medical services to include
triage, stabilization, first aid, medical care, and the transportation of the injured to the airport
during an emergency. ________________________ will be responsible for ensuring that the

Airport Users Communication Plan for the
Ashland Municipal Airport
Statement
This plan establishes communication paths between users of Ashland Municipal Airport, the fixed base
operator (FBO), and City of Ashland staff. The Plan was developed by the City of Ashland Facilities Division,
and is therefore tailored to the structure of that division. Contact information and suggested communication
paths are provided for other City departments for convenience, but this plan does not necessarily govern
communication between airport users and other departments or divisions.
Purpose
The purpose of this plan is to improve the City’s ability to receive service requests for maintenance or repair
and effectively assign its resources to provide the necessary services. In doing so, the City will be able to
better prioritize staff workloads and provide the best service possible to the airport.
Definitions
The following definitions have been established for the purpose of this plan:
• Airport Users include anyone who participates in aviation-related activities. This includes users who
fly in from elsewhere, users who rent hangars, tie-downs, or pay land leases, or any business that
operates on the grounds of the Ashland Municipal Airport.
• FBO is Skinner Aviation.
• Staff, for the purposes of this plan, include all individuals who work for the City of Ashland and
provide maintenance and repair services to the airport.
• Supervisors, for the purposes of this plan, includes City Staff who supervise employees in the
following departments and divisions: Facilities, Parks and Recreation, Streets, and Electric.
Procedure
In general, the FBO shall be the communications hub between Airport Users and City Supervisors. All
communications regarding Airport maintenance and repair must go through the FBO, including service
requests from Airport Users and notifications of upcoming work by Staff.
Page 2 of 5
G:\Facilities\Airport\01. Processes\Airport Communications
Plan_FINAL.docx
Updated: 6/1/2021
General Work Requests
General requests for work shall be made via email by the FBO to the appropriate supervisor, as identified in
the Contacts section below. The email shall CC appropriate staff (also detailed in the Contacts section). The
flowchart shown in Scenario 1, below, demonstrates the communication process that has been established
for addressing general service requests.
Grounds maintenance requests may need to be made periodically to obtain services from Ashland Parks and
Recreation Department beyond scheduled maintenance events at the Airport. Scenario 2 establishes the
communication path for grounds maintenance. Similar processes shall be followed for requesting work from
the Electric Department or Streets Division.
Notice of Upcoming Work
Any notifications of upcoming work performed or overseen by Staff shall be provided to the FBO. The FBO
will disseminate notifications to affected Airport Users in the manner deemed most appropriate by the FBO.
Notifications may include postings if the maintenance event could affect many users (e.g. herbicide spraying)
or targeted emails or phone calls to specific users (e.g. a roof repair on a single hangar). The flowchart shown
in Scenario 3 establishes the communication path for services to be performed or managed by Staff.
Emergency Repairs
Emergency repairs are limited to work required to eliminate imminent hazards to life, health and safety, or to
prevent imminent damage to equipment or property. Requests for emergency repairs must first go through
the FBO, unless the FBO is not immediately available. Once Staff receives the emergency repair request, they
may shorten the processes that follow to ensure the emergency is addressed imminently.
Improper Communications
Users requesting service must provide their requests to the FBO. Users who voice requests directly to Staff
will be asked to redirect their requests to the FBO. Except for emergency situations described above,
requests made directly to staff without involving the FBO first will only be addressed after the FBO has issued
the request to appropriate Staff.
Services by Other City Departments and Divisions
Facilities staff has little control over or knowledge of schedules of other City departments and divisions
performing work at the airport. Facilities Supervisors will encourage the managers of other departments and
divisions to provide notification to the FBO in advance of any work they will perform at the airport.
Contacts
Email shall be the primary method of communicating service requests and schedules. Telephone calls are
appropriate where additional discussion is needed but shall not replace email as the primary means of
communicating requests. Table 1 provides a list of primary and secondary contacts for communicating
service requests.

2.10.025 Meetings and Attendance
A. Unless otherwise provided by law, the number of meetings related to business needs of an
advisory commission, or boards may be set by the advisory body.
B. The Planning Commission and Budget Committee shall set their own meeting attendance
requirements. All members of other Regular or ad hoc advisory bodies must attend at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of the full advisory body’s noticed meetings, study sessions and special
meetings in each full year of their tenure. A person removed from the advisory body for
noncompliance with attendance requirements subsequently may be appointed to fill the vacancy on

bodies with some members who are appointed by an entity other than the Mayor and City Council
and who serve as a representative of the appointing entity, an alternate may participate and vote for
the named member by proxy at any meeting of the advisory body. Such participation by the
alternate will be deemed to be attendance by the named member. Individuals directly appointed by
the Mayor and approved by the Council may not be represented by alternates.
E. Each advisory body should review member attendance and report to the City Recorder
approximately every six months. City Recorder will advise the Mayor on the need for appointments
or re-appointments, if necessary. (Ord. 3100, amended, 2014; Ord. 3003, added, 02/18/2010)

newspaper with general local circulation and posted on the City’s website. In the case of emergency
or when a state of emergency has been declared, notice appropriate to the circumstances shall be
provided and reasons justifying the lack of 36-hour notice shall be included in the minutes of such
meeting. (Ord. 3003, added, 02/18/2010)
2.10.040 Quorum and Effect of Lack Thereof

on the City website; (2) no motion, debate or vote or any other official business other than
adjournment takes place; and (3) all topics advertised are automatically added to the agenda for the
next regularly scheduled meeting. (Ord. 3050, amended, 11/18/2011; Ord. 3003, added, 02/18/2010; Ord. 3100,

2.10.050 Election of Officers, Secretary, and Subcommittees
At its first meeting following the appointment or reappointment of members each year, the advisory
commission or board shall elect a chair and a vice-chair who shall hold office at the pleasure of the
advisory body. Neither the chair nor vice-chair shall serve as an officer for more than three
consecutive annual terms. Without the need for an appointment, the head of the City Department
staffing the commission, committee or board shall be the Secretary and shall be responsible for
keeping an accurate record of all proceedings. The Department head may delegate such tasks to a
staff liaison. Subcommittees may be formed for the purpose of gathering information and forming a
recommendation to be brought forward to the full advisory body. Only the full body can make
recommendations to the City Council. Subcommittees must comply fully with the requirements of
Oregon Public Meetings law. (Ord. 3100, amended, 2014; Ord. 3003, added, 02/18/2010)
2.10.055 Role of Staff
At least one staff person is assigned to work with each advisory commission or board. The staff
liaison provides professional guidance, continuity, and insight into City policy and attends all regular
and special meetings and workshops. The staff liaison supports the group as a whole and shall not
do work at the request of individual members. Each staff liaison has a limited amount of time to
devote to the group. If additional staff time is needed the request should be made to the City
Administrator or appropriate Department Head. (Ord. 3003, added, 02/18/2010)
2.10.060 Agendas and Minutes
The chair or staff liaison will be responsible for timely preparation and posting in advance the
agendas of all meetings of advisory commissions and boards on the City’s website. A member or
staff liaison will be responsible for taking minutes and getting them posted on the City’s website,
generally within a few days after the minutes have been approved. Members are encouraged to
access those documents from the web site. Staff will email or mail documents to members upon
request. If the advisory body has a current Council Liaison, the Liaison should be given the
opportunity to report to the commission or board periodically. (Ord. 3100, amended, 2014; Ord. 3003,
added, 02/18/2010)
Ch. 2.10 Uniform Policies and Operating Procedures | Ashland Municipal Code Page 6 of 8
The Ashland Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 3168, passed December 18, 2018.
2.10.065 Goals
Advisory commissions and boards are encouraged to establish annual goals and action items that
reflect the body’s charge as stated in the specific commission ordinance. Advisory bodies are
expected to suggest, support and advance Council goals and are encouraged to look for ways within
their own unique responsibilities to do so. (Ord. 3100, amended, 2014; Ord. 3003, added, 02/18/2010)
2.10.070 Rules and Regulations
The advisory commission or board may make such rules and regulations as are necessary for its
governance, including the conduct of meetings, when not inconsistent with Ashland City Charter,
Ashland Municipal Code or Oregon law. These rules may be less formal than the meeting procedure
rules in AMC 2.04.040. In the event of conflicts that cannot be resolved less formally, AMC 2.04.040
shall be used as the standard for meeting rules and procedures. Failure to strictly comply with the
rules on meeting procedure in AMC 2.04.040 shall not be cause to void or otherwise disturb a
decision or action. The body will strive to be clear in its proceedings. (Ord. 3100, amended, 2014; Ord.
3003, added, 02/18/2010)
2.10.080 Code of Ethics
The City of Ashland is committed to the highest ethical standards for its public officials. To ensure
public confidence, all members of advisory commissions and boards must be independent, impartial,
responsible and not use their position for personal gain or to benefit or harm others. Advisory
commissions and boards shall operate in the general public interest serving the community as a
whole and shall serve no special interests. Advisory commission and board members shall not
endorse in their official capacity any commercial product or enterprise. Members should be aware
the criminal codes, ethics and conflict of interest laws set forth in state statutes and city ordinances,
including but not limited to the State of Oregon Criminal Code, ORS 244 and in AMC Chapter 3.08.

Ch. 2.10 Uniform Policies and Operating Procedures | Ashland Municipal Code Page 7 of 8
The Ashland Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 3168, passed December 18, 2018.
2.10.090 Council as Final Decision Maker
With the exception of certain delegated quasi-judicial actions, most advisory commissions and
boards do not make final decisions subject to appeal but rather make recommendations to, or act in
an advisory capacity to the council. The City Council is the final decision-maker on all city policies
and the use of city resources. Proposals by boards and commissions for endorsement or sponsorship
of events, activities or programs must receive approval by City Council as provided by Resolution.
(Ord. 3057, amended, 04/03/2012)
2.10.095 Gifts
Subject to the acceptance of the City Council, an advisory body may receive gifts, bequests or
devises of property in the name of the City to carry out any of the purposes of the advisory
commission or board, which funds, if required by the terms of the gift, bequest or devise, shall be
segregated from other funds for use with the approval of the City Council. (Ord. 3003, added,
02/18/2010)
2.10.100 Budget, Compensation and Expenses
Money is set aside in department budgets for Commission and Board expenses. Should an advisory
body require additional funds, requests should be submitted to the department head through the
staff liaison. Regular members of the advisory commissions and boards shall receive no
compensation for services rendered. Members must receive permission and instructions from the
staff liaison in order to be reimbursed for training or conferences and associated travel expenses
related to official business. Procedures and criteria for boards and commissions to obtain approval of
expenditures are established by Resolution. (Ord. 3057, amended, 04/03/2012; Ord. 3003, added, 02/18/2010)
2.10.105 Reports
A. Each advisory body shall submit copies of its meeting minutes to the City Recorder for
presentation to the City Council.
Ch. 2.10 Uniform Policies and Operating Procedures | Ashland Municipal Code Page 8 of 8
The Ashland Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 3168, passed December 18, 2018.
B. The chair of each advisory body is expected to give at least one report to the City Council each
year on the advisory body’s accomplishments, work in progress, and planned activities. In addition,
the Mayor or City Council may from time to time ask chairs for information and recommendations on
matters within the scope of their advisory bodies. Chairs’ reports to the Council are to be objective
and representative of the majority views of the memberships of their advisory bodies.
C. Council Liaisons may report to the entire Council on significant and important activities of any
advisory body to which they have been assigned.
D. Staff Liaisons to the advisory bodies may assist in preparing such reports.
E. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Ashland Municipal Code or State Law, all reports or
recommendations of City advisory bodies committee shall be considered advisory in nature and shall
not be binding on the Mayor or City Council. (Ord. 3100, amended, 2014; Ord. 3003, added, 02/18/2010)
2.10.110 Lobbying and Representing the City
An individual advisory body member is free to express personal views on any issue in any forum as
long as the individual makes clear that he or she is not speaking as a member of the advisory body
and that the views expressed are personal and do not represent the position of the City or of the City

Adopted Airport Policies and Procedures
The administrative polices presented below are for the benefit of all users of the Ashland Municipal
Airport.
1.RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
When an airport lessee is granted a right of first refusal according to the terms of their lease the
City Administrator will make an initial offer to the lessee that includes the lease price, term, and
other applicable provisions. If the lessee declines the offer and chooses not to enter into the lease
on the proposed terms, the City will then extend that same offer to interested parties in the order
established by the airport’s waiting list, if there is an applicable waiting list.
If the lessee declines the offer and the City is unable to rent the property under the terms
presented in the offer for a period of four months because the rental price is too high for the
current market, the Airport Commission may recommend to the City Council that the rental rate
for the hangar should be decreased. If the City Council approves a decrease in the rental price
for the hangar, the hangar will be re-offered under the newly established rates to the lessee that
received the first offer.
2.WAIVING OF TIE DOWN FEES
When a non-profit or public service group requires use of the Ashland Municipal Airport tie
downs it is the will of the Airport Commission to waive the fees associated with the City Council
approved fee chart. Secondly all fees associated with fire fighting activities on site will be
waived.
3.Bi-Annual Hangar Inspection
The Public Works Department in conjunction with the Fire Marshal, building official and FBO
will conduct an onsite inspection of all hangars on a biannual basis. The inspection should be
scheduled in spring with a follow up inspection in summer to verify issues have been remedied.
4.Hangar Waiting List
The hangar waiting list is split into two distinct sections, one a general tenant list and two a
commercial hangar waiting list. General tenant waiting list individuals will be given hangar
rental opportunities based on their position of order. If there is an opening in a closed hangar
tenants in a shade hangar, by length of stay, will be given first right to move into a closed hangar.
Commercial hangar waiting list is meant specifically for City owned hangars other than T-
hangars. Current commercial hangar tenants who by length of stay will be given first right to rent
a hangar of larger size than their current rental. After first right is given to current commercial
hangar renters the FBO will move onto the commercial hangar waiting list.
