The Barry County Board of Commissioners Tuesday approved the construction of another hanger at the Hastings City Barry County Airport. Since the city and county have a Joint Operating Agreement on airport operations, the okay by commissioners means the project can go ahead after Hastings City Council approval Monday night.

The city and county just approved one new hanger for $200,600 to be built by the Stedfast Company; the second hanger was proposed by Airport Manager Mark Noteboom when an anonymous donor agreed to fund a second hanger for another commercial customer who requested one.

Stedfast will construct the second hanger at the same time as the first and at the same $200,600 cost. The funding will be a “pass through” in the airport’s budget, reflected as income and expense.//

In other business Tuesday, commissioners approved several recommendations of the committee of the whole, including:

Re-appointments of Cindy Vujea to Central Dispatch administration board for four years; Bob Vanderboegh to the Building Authority for three years; Sarah Nelson and Duane Weeks to the Solid Waste Oversight Committee for three years; Mike P. Timmons to the Veteran’s Committee for four years; and Christine Hiar, David H. Tripp, Amy Graham and Frank Williams to the Community Corrections Advisory Board for three year terms.

The Barry County Road Commission’s audit engagement agreement with Walker, Fluke and Sheldon to perform its annual audit was also approved.
