Key agenda items included the successful closeout and final payment authorization for a runway reconstruction project and updates on the associated storm water pollution prevention plan. The commission also discussed the draft wildlife hazard site visit report, which identified Canada geese, white-tailed deer, and coyote as high-risk species, leading to recommendations for increased fencing and vegetation management. Furthermore, the meeting covered progress on an environmental assessment and obstruction analysis project to evaluate tree clearing and fence construction impacts, alongside a plan to address an intermittent issue with the airport’s entry gate system.
