2. Approval of Minutes

meeting minutes of the Airport Commission.
Ayes all. Nays none. Motion carried.
3. Approval of Department Claims

for the months of June and July as audited and read.

4. Audit presentation by Baker Tilly - Joel Lemke
Jodi Dobson of Baker Tilly presented the 2025 Audit.
A five-year trend for operating revenues and expenses was presented to the
Commission. Operating revenues show a decrease in total revenues from 2024-2025.
The decrease in operating revenues was primarily due to third parties such as the City
and other local subsidies were picking up a larger portion of the total costs.
Page 2 of 9
Operating expenses have been relatively stable, especially the last three years. Total
expenditures are exceeding the total revenues. Need to look into ongoing revenue
streams.
Joel stated that the tax levy contribution is small, the smallest in all the City. Trying to
maintain a low levy need. Also, getting to a point of knowing that this is not sustainable.
We do recognize there is a shortfall in the Airport.
Jodi stated having an airport benefits the community, so there is justification for with
transfer from the tax levy.
Motion made by Jeff Bushman, seconded by Carl Rasmussen to approve the 2025
Audit presented by Baker Tilly.
Ayes all. Nays none. Motion carried.
5. Petition update - Joel Lemke
Joel explained that the Commission will see a public notice in the paper on Thursday
that says that the City of Stevens Point is going to petition the State. To use the monies
from State and Federal sources we need to go through this process and part is the
public notice/petition. The petition lists the projects. This year the petition only has two
items because we reorganized our capital expenditure requests. There will be a Public
Hearing on August 24th, 2026. So we can get the petition update filed.
6. Written/Verbal Report - Jason Draheim
The Commission reviewed the monthly reports in the packets.
Jeff questioned if building additional hangars and leasing them out would help bring in
more revenue. Joel explained the costs involved with building hangars etc.
7. Adjournment.
Motion made by Ray Schmidt to adjourn the meeting.
Ayes all. Nays none. Motion carried.
Meeting Adjourned: 1:20 P.M.
