MeetingOct 27, 2026

Airport Commission (Regular) - Oct 27, 2026

The committee was scheduled to hear from the fixed-base operator's CEO about management responsibilities and how the airport is handling tenants who aren't complying with their agreements. This touches on how well airport services are run and whether lease rules are being enforced.

MeetingSep 29, 2026

Airport Commission (Regular) - Sep 29, 2026

Next year's airport management contract is on the horizon. The Airport Commission will form a committee when renewal time comes, and the City's finance and public works staff are already preparing.

MeetingAug 24, 2026

Airport Commission (Regular) - Aug 24, 2026

A tenant flagged that T-hangar rents have climbed about 62.5% in four years, and the FBO agreement that governs airport services expires in about 12 months. He wants contract discussions started early if another big increase is coming.

MeetingAug 6, 2026

Airport Commission (Regular) - Aug 6, 2026

Sean Stroud and Dan Liles have had empty hangars and no insurance for months. The commission is starting formal termination — a 30-day notice comes first, then possible City Council action and eviction through General Sessions Court.

MeetingJul 27, 2026

Airport Commission (Regular) - Jul 27, 2026

Two tenants — Dan Liles (Hangar A-1) and Sean Stroud (Hangar B-1) — haven't provided current insurance and their hangars sit empty. The city attorney says they're in breach, and the path is a second notice, a hearing before the Airport Commission, then City Council approval to terminate. Tenants will get a chance to speak first.

MeetingJul 2, 2026

Airport Commission (Regular) - Jul 2, 2026

The Fire Marshal wants a bigger safety role at the airport: training for supervisors on opening aircraft doors and canopies, plus new kickboxes with master keys on all A, B, and E row hangars — a new requirement the airport has to meet.
