FY25 Proposed Budget

Airport Operations

The Airport Operations division oversees the operation of the airport facilities.

Airport Fund Activities:  Airport Operations

 Airport Capital Reserves

Boards and Commissions: The Airport Commission exercises all the powers granted to cities and towns under Chapter 330 of the Code of Iowa, except the power to sell said airport. All funds derived from taxation or otherwise for airport purposes shall be under the full and absolute control of the Airport Commission, deposited with the City Treasurer, and disbursed only on the written warrants or order of the Airport Commission.

Recent Accomplishments:  Hosted Summer of the Arts drive-in movie nights and Optimist Club pancake breakfast.  Completed work on Runway 25 which relocated threshold and added runway landing distance.  Completed Taxilane extension for future private hangar development.  Completed phase 1 of runway pavement maintenance.  Received Iowa DOT grants for wayfinding signage and terminal building repairs. Upcoming Challenges:  The continued need to diversify revenue streams (understanding the majority of revenue comes from hangar rental and fuel commissions) and over-reliance on state and federal grant funding for major projects should these revenues become limited would pose a major challenge. 268
