The Mt. Carmel City Council has again put off making a decision on privatizing the city’s airport for at least another two weeks. At their regular meeting on Monday, commissioners tabled the proposal from SkyTrain Aviation to take over operations of the airport for the next 50 years. City attorney Brady Waldroup has recused himself from the issue since he works in the same firm representing SkyTrain. So, the city sought outside legal counsel and city clerk Ryan Turner says the council was advised to proceed with caution….
Skytrain co-owner Brent Perrott previously told the council he has economic development prospects interested in the airport that can proceed as soon as the contract is approved.
