# Airport Commission Special Meeting 11-09-2026

The Cape Cod Gateway Airport Commission held a special meeting on November 9, 2026, to interview three finalists for the airport manager position. Candidates discussed airport operations, Part 139 compliance, environmental issues, noise, staffing, budgets, and capital planning. One candidate cited the airport’s approximately $19 million reserve and $11–12 million budget while answering a hypothetical about financing future improvements if FAA capital grants ended; the discussion did not result in any funding or procurement decision.

The commission did not select a manager. Votes on motions to nominate candidates failed to produce a majority, and the chair closed the meeting without authorizing contract negotiations or approving an appointment. A follow-up meeting was expected, with the next regularly scheduled meeting noted as November 17. No procurement activity was identified.
