Carson City Airport Authority Meeting – October 21, 2026

The Carson City Airport Authority met on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, in the Robert Crowell Board Room of the Carson City Community Center. The board approved prior meeting minutes, a consent agenda for construction change orders, a new engineering task order, and a newly formed Driving Rules and Regulations Committee. No members of the public provided comment.

Consent Calendar

• Approved Change Orders No. 1 and No. 2 for the Taxiway Charlie and South Apron Pavement Preservation Project. The change orders covered additional work and testing services needed during construction, were authorized by the Airport Manager to maintain schedule, and remain within the Authority-approved project budget.

Public Hearings

• Task Order No. 8 with Wood Rodgers, Inc.: The Authority approved Task Order No. 8 for engineering design services for the Taxiway B Reconstruction and North Apron Pavement Preservation Projects. The order includes surveying, engineering, environmental coordination, design, bidding assistance, and related services. Airport Manager Corey Jenkins reported the project already received grant award and ASIP approval.
• Driving Rules and Regulations Committee: The Authority established the Driving Rules and Regulations Committee to review proposed updates to the Airport’s Driving and Access Control Rules and Regulations and make recommendations to the Authority. The agenda’s staff summary named Curtis Horton, Jim Sutton, and Brian Stewart as proposed members, but the motion made at the meeting appointed Tim Pulless, Jim Sutton, and Brian Stewart; this discrepancy was noted in the transcript. The motion passed.

Discussion Items

• Airport Engineer’s Report: Brian Martinez Wallace of Wood Rodgers reported that the RSA drainage and improvement project is in procurement through the winter with construction in the spring; the main apron rehab and pavement preservation work is complete and being closed out; and upcoming projects include Taxiway Bravo and the main apron.
• Airport Manager’s Report: Corey Jenkins reported continued work on gate card and access control outreach, a hangar compliance program now either compliant or in progress for all hangars, and participation on an NDOT technical advisory panel studying a possible Nevada Department of Aeronautics and sustainable aviation funding. He also noted strong developer interest in new hangars. Fuel flowage numbers for September and airport operations numbers for August were reported as inaccurate; an additional ADS-B receiver is planned for the SRE building to reduce a blind spot at the approach end of Runway 27.
• Noise Abatement/AFD Query: Member Brian Stewart asked whether airport noise abatement procedures are listed in the Airport/Facility Directory (AFD). The Airport Manager responded that the FAA has not yet provided a formal mechanism for publishing such procedures and that, as of now, only website information is available.
• Legal Counsel’s Report: Steve Takis reported no new legal matters but said he and/or the Airport Manager are attending Carson City master plan meetings to flag incompatible land uses near the airport and along instrument approach paths.
• Treasurer’s Report: Jim Sutton reported the airport’s finances are under tight control and the state audit is being completed or has been completed.
• Authority Member Reports: Brian Stewart expressed support for the additional ADS-B transmitter, saying it should improve accuracy except for aircraft that do not broadcast ADS-B. He also relayed praise from Aaron Moore of Walker River State Parks for Steve Takis.
• Next Meeting Items: The Airport Manager said a lease assignment may be on the next month’s agenda.
