Alva Review-Courier -

The Alva Airport Commission will hear about repairs needed to the PAPI lights and evaluate the

airport manager at Monday’s regular meeting. The commission will meet at 7 p.m. in the airport terminal.

First, the commission will hear a report from the city council including financial statements. The

airport manager will give his report. Then board members will discuss an estimate from Wise Electric Company to repair the PAPI

(precision approach path indicator) lights. These lights positioned along the runway warn incoming

pilots about too high or too low approaches. Wise estimates repairs will cost no more than $4,800, and

the commission members will vote on approving these repairs.

A closed executive session will be held to evaluate the airport manager following completion of his

first 90 days in that position. On return to the open session, the commission may vote on the evaluation

and the hiring of the airport manager.

At the end of the meeting, commission members may make remarks or inquiries on any topic. That

will be followed by comments from members of the public who are present. Public comments are

limited to two minutes per speaker.
