Greg Swanson moved to adopt the schedule as stated. Steve Kahn seconded. Motion
passed.
The approved calendar will be submitted to the City Clerk's office, and a copy will be
sent to Commission members via email.
7. Additional Agenda Item— Rob Herndon
Commission Member Rob Herndon asked for a review of the snow removal policy.
Rob Oates stated that snow removal will commence once a snow event ends. A road
grader is used for removing snow from the runway. However, it can only be used with
heavier snow.
Brent Orton advised the members that the airport's snow removal policy is part of the
City's overall snow removal policy. He stated that the airport runway does have top
priority for snow removal. Brent also reminded the members that whenever the runway
is graded, the markings paint is unavoidably scraped off, thus requiring repainting at a
cost of approximately $8,000.
8. Announcements— Rob Oates
• The Wildlife Hazard Management Plan has been received from WH Pacific, and
has been sent to Seattle for the final review. More information will be provided,
once the final approved plan has been received.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:40 pm.
