The Toole County board voted to appoint Dan Waiting to the airport board to fill the seat of Doug Hellinger, whose term will expire 12/31/2030, and approved advertising a request for qualifications (RFQ) for five‑year dual‑county airport engineering and planning services.
A committee member moved to appoint Dan Waiting and a second was recorded; the motion passed after an 'aye' vote was captured. During discussion on the RFQ, the chair noted that when selections are made the board must choose two separate firms — one for engineering and one for planning — and that a meeting to consider those selections has been scheduled for March 26.
Board members did not provide additional details about the scope, budget, or the counties participating in the dual‑county RFQ during the discussion. The motion to advertise the RFQ passed by voice vote.
The appointment and the decision to advertise the RFQ were routine business items on the agenda. The board moved on to other fiscal and operational items after approving both actions.
