The city of Mexico has entered into a new three-year agreement for management of the municipal airport.
The council unanimously approved a new deal with Jay Jocobi to manage the airport at a regular council meeting on June 26..
The agreement includes taking care of maintenance, mowing and snow removal along with enforcing city ordinances on the property. Jacobi will pay the city $0.05 per gallon fuel fees and Jacobi will have control of the farmland owned by the city that is adjacent to the airport. The agreement went into effect on July 1 and will run through June 30, 2026.
The new agreement will increase the monthly costs to the city. The previous agreement paid the airport manager $2,750 and the new agreement increases that amount to $3,750 per month.
The city advertised for proposals but only received one bid.
Jacobi has managed the airport for the past 22 years. The city notes to the council said Jacobi has, “Operated the airport with reliability and demonstrated excellent rapport with users of the facility.”
The notes also mention that since 2004 there have been significant improvements to the airport and additional improvements forthcoming. The notes also highlighted the value of Jacobi’s experience in running the airport.
