Councilman Daley reported that Mayor Happ, City Attorney Donahue and he met October
23rd with the City Airport officers, namely, Dr. Swanberg, Secretary and Treasurer
of the City Airport Board, Bill Redman, Secretary and Treasurer of the Airport Assoc—
iation, Dr. Ross, past president of the City Airport Association, Mike Strand, Strand
Aviation, Mr. Jackson, representing Stockhill Aviation, Larry Lee and Mr. Newman,
plane owners and users of the city airport. Dr. Ross gave background information on
forming of the airport association and airport board to be responsible for the oper—
ation of the airport. Three members, Mr. Claypool, president, Dr. Swanberg and Mike
Strand make up the Airport Board.
Discussion concerned a request in the increase of -the airport liability insurance to
be considered and that a safety regulation report be made to the City each year on
the runway land and takeoff equipment and adherence to landing and toceoff safety
rules.
Dr. Ross discussed forming an airport authority under county supervision, but it was
generally agreed that the best operation plan would be to appoint a board made up of
people who use the airport and a representative from the city administration.
Those present requested that the City become more involved in the operation of -the
city airport. Mr. Strand and Mr. Jackson were appointed to make a recommendation of
six individuals who were interested in the airport operation to the Mayor of Kalispell.
It was also requested that the Mayor, with the approval of the City Council, proceed
to set up a city airport board.
There was considerable discussion on comparison of use when the association came into
being. At that time the primary use was for pleasure planes and now has progressed
to the primary use to be by our business community. It was -the recommendation of
all those present that the airport should be considered a permanent city airport and
that plans should proceed on that basis.
Larry Lee and Mr. Newman requested a lease to put up a hangar for their planes. This
was referred to the new board for one of their first considerations.
Councilman Daley recommended that the Mayor be authorized to set up an airport board
and that this council go on record supporting a policy that no airport property will
be sold or traded without full approval of the Mayor and all Council Members.
Another meeting is set for September 20th. Councilman Allen -told Mayor Happ that he
would like to see the city representative be a resident of the southwest area of the
City.
