A combination of long exposure and motion creates something a little different as the Sun Country Airlines plane carrying a previous Brushy Creek Area Honor Flight turns on the apron at the Fort Dodge Regional Airport. The City Coucil will review the airport s budget tonight.
The proposed budgets for the Fort Dodge Regional Airport and the city’s parks and recreation programs will be reviewed tonight by the City Council.
The council’s budget workshop will begin at 5 p.m. It will be a virtual meeting.
The airport and the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department generate some revenue to help pay for their operations, reducing the need for property tax dollars to fund them. Fees that people pay to join sports leagues, play golf or get into the aquatic center are sources of revenue for parks and recreation. The airport gets revenue from landing fees, rent from businesses that are located there and from farmland that’s part of the airport campus.
