Regional Airport Board
Regular MeetingAberdeen, SD · October 12, 2023
Minutes
CRJ550 is July 2024. Our AMOC approved by TSA is good until July 91\ 2024. In addition with the
AMOC in place, our 5 hour weekend day is now a 9 hour day as we have to have staff in place on the ramp
when the aircraft is on the ground which is costing us a lot of money. The LEO (Law Enforcement Officer)
on duty during flights is not providing the ramp oversight as per TSA this is an airport function. Krokel
added he even attempted to use ARFF staff or the airline agents and TSA said no as they have their duties.
► SD162 Marketing: HCR reported on the 3rd quarter activity.
► Part 139 Training: Completed Snow and Ice control training on September 20th and 26th. Invite was sent to
the entire Aviation community which 3 people attended outside our staff.
► Internal Training: Staff will begin snow removal equipment training late September. Kevin Lock, new
employee is receiving training.
► Staffing: Marvin Black has been hired as the Airport Operations & Maintenance Supervisor with a start
date of October 23rd. He comes to us from Demkota, is a mechanical engineer and has 30 plus years
supervising teams. He met with staff this week.
► Les Schwab Tire Center: Is building on the comer where the Animal Health Clinic was. This was originally
going to be a concrete block building, but changed to precast and increased the height by 9'. The finished
elevation is still under 1330' AGL. They asked if the runway can be closed the week of the 21'1. Krokel
informed them this is Pheasant Hunting season and is vital to our area. Krokel suggested doing night work
as we are not closing the runway.
► Board Vacancy: Position open.
There being no other business come before the Board, Gellhaus moved to adjourn, seconded by Schwan. The
meeting adjourned at 11 :05AM.
