Washington’s City Council is scheduled to discuss proposals to manage the city’s Warren Field Airport during its meeting Monday.

Earlier this year, the city sent out requests for proposals seeking an entity to manage the airport. Currently, Tradewind Aviation manages the airport. The city would like for the airport, which has been losing money for several years, to move closer to breaking even, if not make a profit.

Under its original contract with Tradewind Aviation, the city provided an annual subsidy of $50,000. That subsidy was increased by $28,820 in January 2008. The subsidy is for airport operations, not any of Tradewind Aviation’s enterprise activities such as flight instruction and skydiving training.

The requests sought an entity to provide fixed-base operations, flight training, aircraft charter and taxi service, a jump school, aircraft maintenance and repair services and other aeronautical services and activities. The deadline to submit proposals was 2 p.m. April 24.

The council also will consider accepting a $4,000 grant from the NFL — on behalf of Terrance Copper, a former Washington High School, East Carolina University and NFL receiver — for a summer youth football camp. Copper would direct the camp. Several of Copper’s football colleagues and several members of the Washington Police Department will assist him.

The grant funds would become part of the Washington Police Department’s budget.

“The is another initiative of the Washington Police Department to foster better relations with the community’s youth. There is no local match of money required with this grant,” wrote Stacey Drakeford, the city’s interim director of police/fire services, in a memorandum to the mayor and council.

Al Powell, a former FBI agent, returns to the council to discuss formation of a Police Athletic League. Powell appeared before the council in March, asking the city to consider support its formation.

A PAL is an extension of a local law-enforcement agency (police department, sheriff’s office) that is set up as a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization whose mission is to provide young people ages 14 through 18 who live within its jurisdiction a way to interact with the law-enforcement community through after-school sports, mentoring, tutoring, cultural development and life-skills programs, Powell told the council in March.

Earlier this week, Beaufort County commissioners personally contributed money to help form the league. Powell asked Beaufort County for $400. Instead, the commissioners provide $210. Powell said he hopes to get the remaining $190 needed to submit an application to the national PAL board by May 15.
