Regular Council Meeting March 8, 2021 Page 4 consensus of City Council for Mr. Path to develop parameters and prepare a prioritized list of needed equipment to bring back to City Council for consideration. 13. Discuss and act on a Hangar Wait List Application and Hangar Waiting List Policy for Cox Field Airport. City Clerk Janice Ellis explained that city staff had received complaints about the manner in which hangar assignments were being made at the airport. Ms. Ellis said that city staff met with airport manager, Jerry Richey, and from there a hangar wait application and hangar wait policy was drafted. Ms. Ellis also said that the airport board approved the documents on February 25. Mayor Clifford inquired the number on the waiting list and Ms. Ellis said there were approximately twenty people. Mayor Clifford said the rent was too low on these hangars, as he had said in the past. Council Member Knox said she thought the City had an airport manager, and Ms. Ellis said they did and he was a contract employee. Council Member Savage said he thought this should be the job of the airport manager. Council Member Pilgrim said most of the people out there did what they were supposed to but there were a handful that did not. Council Member Stone said she wanted everyone out there to be treated the same. City Manager Grayson Path said this application and policy was one of the changes at the airport and he would be making additional changes in the future. Following additional discussion, Council Member Knox said she would like to have a sentence added to the policy to make it clear that when you purchase a plane from someone who has a hangar that the hangar does not go with the plane, the City makes all hangar assignments and enters into agreements to reflect same. Subject to inclusion of the additional statement on the policy, a Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Knox and seconded by Council Member Pilgrim. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 14.
