CALL TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Tom Stokley addressed the Council and said he has been a Lake Havasu City resident for over 17 years and has been heavily involved in the community. Mr. Stokley said he is a pilot that rents a City-owned north hangar that consists of six hangars at the Lake Havasu Municipal Airport. He expressed his concern that a Request for Proposal (RFP) for 3.4 acres of land was requested outside of the Airport across the taxiways from the hangar and that the owners of those six hangars would be kicked out due to private companies not allowing them to stay. He said privately-owned hangar requests are put on a waiting list and have to wait years to obtain a hangar. Mr. Stokley said he called the radio station and spoke with the City Manager and Police Chief regarding the feedback from pilots and asked if they would get kicked out of their hangars from the private companies. Mr. Stokely said the City Manager’s response was, “the City will do whatever is best for the City of Lake Havasu”. He said he has contacted the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), which helps pilots with the right to fly, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), whose purpose is to serve hangar owners, and said the City needs to be transparent by following the rules of selling and moving hangars to new ownership.
