MINUTES VILLAGE OF EAST TROY AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE March 11, 2024 Page 1 of 2 Call Meeting to Order Roll Call: Chairperson Holm called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Present: Doug Gauger, Jim Holm, JD Schreib, Mike Starck, and Mike Zei Others: Dale Graves, Sam Taber, and Sharon Taber Excused: Kim Weckerly Citizen Participation Per Village Resolution 2017-01, anyone wishing to address the Airport Advisory Committee during Citizen Participation will be allowed 5 minutes. Your subject must specifically relate to matters under the jurisdiction of the Airport Advisory Committee, whether on the agenda or not. The Airport Advisory Committee should not engage in a discussion regarding comments because it was not part of the publicly noticed agenda. Upon conclusion of this Citizen Participation segment, members of the audience are not allowed further comment unless they are participating in a public hearing or if specifically allowed by a majority vote of the Airport Advisory Committee due to involvement in an agenda item. Sam Taber questioned the frequency of having fire inspections. He opined that once per year should be adequate. He also reported that the north gate is now “working wonderfully.” The question was raised about whether vehicles should be allowed to park on the leased property next to the hanger. Temporary parking next to the hanger is currently a widespread practice. This would not be overnight parking, only short-term parking when actively involved in airport activities. Approval of Minutes  A motion to approve the February 12, 2024, meeting minutes was made by Mike Zei and seconded by Mike Starck. The motion passed unanimously. Standing and Old Business 1.
