Operations Airport Manager’s Summary: Since December, Winter weather has visited several times and to varying degrees. Our Snow Removal Equipment (SRE), so far this season, has held up well. Jim Ruhl has been working toward repairing and putting into service two snow blower/thrower attachment units, one from the Public Works fleet and one of two Airport units. These work well to throw snow piles into the infields and keep pavement edges clear of snowbanks for greater safety. The Line Service Staff has performed admirably during some challenging weather, especially for the numerous chartered collegiate men’s and women's basketball team flights. They have augmented the PW Snow Crew’s efforts in clearing snow and ice while keeping our facilities safe and clean for visitors to our airfield. The new 100LL AvGas truck has had an intermittent issue with an overheat circuit breaker which is scheduled to be replaced on Fri., Feb 25, when a ProFlo technician is scheduled to arrive onsite and replace the switch they had sent to us a month ago. The technician will also troubleshoot a fuel tank vent that has apparently allowed water to enter the tank when heavy precipitation has occurred. 2.
