Commission approves hangar construction, air-show contract and accepts financials

The North Little Rock Airport Commission took several routine actions at the meeting:

• Financials accepted: Staff presented the February financial report, noting expenditures were typical for the month (some snow-removal costs). Commissioners moved to accept the financials and approved the motion by voice vote.

• Hangar construction authorization: The commission authorized a prospective builder (referred to in the record as Mr. Listister/Listister) to proceed with ordering a building kit and begin construction for a hangar (approximately 4,992 sq ft), provided the lease specifies aviation use, the builder follows applicable building codes and the lease is executed according to commission rules. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

• Air-show contract authorization: Staff sought authorization to engage an air-show coordinator with compensation not to exceed $7,500, with the final contract language subject to review and approval by the city attorney. The commission approved the intent to contract subject to legal approval; the contract was not executed at the meeting pending the city-attorney review.

The meeting record shows motions, seconds and voice votes on these items but does not list roll-call tallies or named yes/no votes in the transcript. Commissioners asked staff to follow standard procedures (city-attorney review, lease language inclusion) before final execution of contracts or leases.
