What is Going on at KBJC (Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport)/Cost to Relocate Port a Port Hangar

[ateamer]

Update on the situation at KBJC: Our last airport manager suddenly resigned back in November due to "personnel matters". You can read more about it here where the head of our local airport association, Jeffco Aviation Association, was interviewed. We are all very relieved that he left as he definitely did not have GA in mind at all.

We have a meeting on February 26th where the airport director recruitment team is going to gauge our opinions on what we would like to see in an airport manager. I am cautiously optimistic about the future but only time will tell if we get a manager that is finally looking out for us. More to come!

Being an active GA pilot for at least 10 years should be the first prerequisite for being an airport manager. Basing at the field he manages and flying at least 40 flights per year from that field should be a condition for continued employment.

A new update in the craziness going on here in western Denver. The citizens who live in nearby Boulder, Colorado and Superior, Colorado (you know, the people who have mostly built their house/moved into their house years AFTER the airport was built), have filed a lawsuit against Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport and Jefferson County over noise and pollution from lead in piston aircrafts. You can read more about it in the link below:

Superior and Boulder County Take Legal Action Against Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport and Jefferson County

Essentially, they want to have all touch and go operations ceased at the airport. Aren't touch and go operations technically under the rule of the FAA, not the owner of the airport since anything involving anything a foot or higher is FAA jurisdiction? I feel like this should (hopefully) fall flat in court

We know

Boulder/Superior sue Rocky Mountain Metro Airport over "100LL"

Obviously it's about the noise, but they cite the leaded fuel. Of course the media doesn't do any research that would have included the hidden study that the town of Superior did on lead levels. I don't know how to link another thread but its detailed in "Hidden good news..." thread. The mayor...
