Council clears helicopter landing for Fire Services Appreciation Day

The council approved an aircraft landing and takeoff permit to allow Air St. Luke's to land a helicopter at the Sun Valley Festival Meadows during the Ketchum and Sun Valley Fire Department Fire Services Appreciation Day planned for June 25. Community Development Director Jae Hill said the request mirrored a similar request the city granted last year.

Council President Keith Saks moved to approve the permit and authorized the Mayor to sign the permit and the Hold Harmless and Indemnification agreement; the motion was seconded by Council Member Brad DuFur and passed unanimously. Council Member Jane Conard asked that event coordinators prepare permit materials earlier next year and suggested calendaring the request for the May 2017 Regular City Council meeting.
