  • Concerns regarding airport manager contract and process transparency

    • Summary: A resident expressed concerns about the current vote on the airport manager contract, emphasizing the need for a resident manager available in real time and requesting more transparent processes.
    • Evidence: “Dr. Glenn Smith, I would like to address the current vote on the airport manager contract. I have lived in Northwest Illinois for the past 25 years. During that time frame, I have been a continuous hanger tenant, consumer of goods from the airport, and consumer of services from the airport. During that time, I have been through multiple administrations all trying to save money and putting their mark on the management of the airport. As tenants, we all want to have a professionally run facility that we can use all year round. Not all the past changes have worked well for that goal. I will remind you of a past administration that caused over one third of the hanger tenants to leave. With that preamble, I have some concerns. The airport needs a resident manager that is available to handle emergencies in a real time fashion. Those type of things can’t be delegated to minimum wage persons answering the phones and fueling planes. Lowest bid does not always mean acceptable service. I don’t understand why the city council is not privy to the details of the actual bids to access what they are being asked to ratify. We have had a very professionally run airport from the Janssen family for the last 30 years. The latest being in the person of Angie Janssen. It will be difficult to replace the depth of knowledge that she possesses. Our concerns also include the projects that are currently in the works. I would appreciate a much more transparent process for the whole affair so we all know what we are getting.”

  • Recommendation for Angie Jansen as airport manager

    • Summary: Rodney E. Marshall recommended retaining Angie Jansen as the airport manager, citing her excellent people skills, knowledge with the FAA, and success in acquiring state and federal grant monies.
    • Evidence: “The second one I have is from Rodney E. Marshall. To the Freeport City Council, this letter is to recommend Angie Jansen be retained as the airport manager. I have known Angie and her family for over 35 years. Throughout those years, I have personally observed Angie’s excellent people skills in handling airport customers, her exceptional knowledge when dealing with the FAA, and her behind Davis. And her behind the scenes skill at acquiring state and federal grant monies. Angie was instrumental in acquiring grants for the instrument landing system that is critical for safe, all weather approaches for business and commercial aircraft. Grant funding for the runway extension overlay and airport road improvements are all examples of Angie’s work. Her death of knowledge, long established business relationships and high respect in the industry are only earned through competence and with extensive time invested. Additionally, more direct results of Angie’s management skills are easy to observe. The airport grounds have never looked better. Rental hangars are all full. There are two independent aircraft maintenance companies renting space and airport staff are competent, friendly and always helpful. Airports are a safety critical community asset that functions as a front door for the local business community. Managing an operation like Alberta’s Airport requires full-time attention and full-time availability during off hours. Angie has proven her skills over decades of dedicated full-time effort. I strongly recommend the city of Freeport will be very well rewarded having her at the airport helm. Angie is unquestionably one of the best of the very best.”

  • Recommendation for Angie Jansen as airport manager

    • Evidence: “The third comment from Kirk Appel. This recommendation letter is for, okay. I write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Angie Jansen, Freeport Airport Manager with the highest regard for her friendship and her stewardship for aviation within Freeport and the surrounding area. I have over 40 years in aviation, general corporate and airline, 27 years as a pilot with Delta Airlines. I started right here at Freeport Albertus Airport. I couldn’t be more proud of where my career started and of all those who helped me and guided me. I understand what this airport means to the local community and to those who either pass through its airspace or for those who operate within it.”
    • Source timestamp: 11:31

  • Freeport Airport history and management praise

    • Summary: The speaker detailed their long involvement with Freeport Albertus Airport, noting that Angie Jansen has worked tirelessly alongside her father to improve the airport over 28 years.

  • Pilot availability and experience for position

    • Summary: The speaker described their on-call reserve pilot schedule, stating they are generally called in once or twice a month for approximately 48-hour periods. They emphasized professionalism and 35 years of general aviation experience.
    • Attribution: Don
    • Evidence: “I routinely choose a different schedule option, which affords me the opportunity to be home most days of the month. This schedule option is that of an on-call reserve pilot. I only go to work when I get called in due to a pilot absence for whatever reason. I’m generally on call three or four days and then off the rest of the week. On average, I would say it’s usually once or twice a month I get the call, sometimes not at all. When I do, the trip has me gone for approximately a 48 hour period. So in reality, in over a 30 or 31 day month, I may be gone for a few 48 hour periods. The rest of the time, I live right on the airport boundary near the South Airport entrance road. I can be on the property in literally about three minutes from leaving my garage to respond to anything that may need attention out there. During the few short periods I may be away, trained employees would be able to respond to anything until I return. In this world of connectivity, I think the issue is minor. In summary, what I would strive to bring to this position is professionalism and the knowledge gained in 35 years of experience in general aviation environment, both as an operator and instructor.”

That’s the instrument landing system, the runway lights, the rotating beacon that is currently having some problems, the snowplows, the mowers, the hanger doors, the fuel pumps, and there has to be toilet paper in the bathroom.”

    • Attribution: Joe Green
    • Evidence: “When you go out to the airport, one of the things you may see is a nice airport, planes coming in and out, nice serene setting. What you don’t see is what’s going on underneath. It’s just like a duck in a pond. The duck looks nice and mellow, but underneath there’s a lot of peddling going on, and ANG’s been doing all that peddling. To do this off the side of your desk is simply, to me, not possible. You can’t deal with the FAA off the side of your desk. You can’t deal with the NTSB off the side of your desk. You can’t deal with Homeland Security off the side of your desk. You better believe that one. FAA training, Angie can post their own notums. Many of the airports around here have to go through the FAA to post their notums. That’s notice to airmen. Angie is authorized to do it for Freeport Airport. She has to deal with federal officials for security. She has to deal with municipal, local, regional, and national engineers to get the projects done that are out there. All of this is coordinated. This is the duck feet under the water, just going like hell. Also interfacing with the city council, you know, the finance clerk, city manager, street department, all of those areas she has to interface with.”

Think Titan Tire here, your local grocery stores, Pearl Valley Egg, and many more corporate and many other entities that utilize your airport routinely. That takes money, federal money.”

  • Airport hiring authority and rules

The low bid does not have those. And some of the things that Stacy talked about I believe are irrelevant because she talked about the airport being, okay, if you read the agreement, the airport can hire their own employees. If you look at the rules and regulation of the airport, this was 1-12, January 12, 2012. It states, I’m not going to read it all, the manager has the right for a designee or an alternate he can assign if he is not present.”
