Editor’s Note: So that happened. Actually, so that didn’t happen. This article is now complete.
Hey, why not? I bet you’ve never been to a Danville Airport Commission meeting, have you? Well, you’ll be there today LIVE! here on SouthsideCentral! The meeting begins at 4PM today. Honestly, I don’t know what to expect but whatever happens, we’ll cover it LIVE! Be sure to refresh the page often for the latest photos, happenings and commentary.
We’re here. I just spoke with Charles Ellis. He’s been flying out of this airport for 50 years.
We don’t have a quorum. This meeting is over. Seriously.
They were doing to discuss things like the operational guidelines for the airport. Libby Rembold from General Aviation (the fixed-base operator at the airport) said that whatever rules were enacted, they hadn’t been enforced consistently in the past. We’ll have to take that up when we try again next month.
So who’s on the Airport Commission?
- Gene Jackson Jr. – Present
- Charles Ellis – Present
- Donna Benz – Absent
- Joseph Miller – Absent
- Helm Dobbins – Absent
- John Lippert – Present
- Hampton Wilkins – Absent
- Stephen Daniel – Absent
That’s 3 out of 8, folks and we needed 5 to get a quorum. Fail. they were also going to discuss important things, like the proposed budget for the airport. Again, we’ll try it in December. That’s sad.
We wish we could have brought you more from this meeting, folks. So that happened.
Full time city workers to cut grass, maybe a contractor for this is in order.
They should have deputized you if that would have put them over quorum. 😀
[…] Last month, we didn’t have enough Airport Commissioners present to have a meeting. So, we’ll try it again today! Be sure to refresh the page for the latest happenings, photos and commentary. We’ll add more in the editing process later on. […]
