What was discussed

After a staff presentation on airport finances and a public hearing with 70 signed-up speakers, council voted 8-1 to keep operating the Boulder Municipal Airport and pursue FAA and CDOT grants, with the first perpetuity-obligated FAA grant needing a separate council vote. Mark Wallach resigned from council immediately after the vote.
