The Leelanau Township board unanimously approved its new Woolsey Memorial Airport Administration and Management Ordinance at its regular meeting on June 9.
As stated in the approved ordinance, its purposes are “to promote and secure the public health, safety, and general welfare of persons, property owners, and property in the township of Leelanau by providing for and establishing reasonable procedures, rules, and regulations and enforcement thereof for the safety, administration, management, operation, stewardship, and uses of the township’s Woolsey Memorial Airport.”
In addition, it will be used to ensure the continuing qualification of Woolsey Memorial Airport for public use and licensure as at least a basic utility airport under Michigan Aeronautics Commission rules; as well as to provide for on-site accommodation of aeronautical, public, civic, educational and recreational activities consistent with law and airport safety.
