The following Section in the State Statutes governs operation
of municipal airports.
305.210. Manner of operating airports — fees The local
legislative body of a city, including cities under special charter,
village, town or county which has established an airport or landing
field and acquired, leased, or set apart real property for such purpose
may construct, improve, equip, maintain, and operate the same, or
may vest jurisdiction for the construction, improvement, equipment,
maintenance, and operation thereof, in any suitable officer, board
or body of such city, village, town or county, or may by franchise
or contract authorize others, in whole or in part, to construct, equip,
maintain, and operate the same. The expense of such construction,
improvement, equipment, maintenance and operation shall be a city,
village, town or county charge, in whole or in part, as the case may
be. The local legislative body of a city, village, town, or county
may adopt regulations and establish fees for charges for the use of
such airport or landing field.
The Town may therefore have an officer, an airport manager,
operate the airport as an alternative to using an airport board.
