Midlothian's Mid-Way Regional Airport is gearing up for its upcoming Joint Airport Board meeting next Thursday. Airport officials and board members, including Chair Kevin Griffin and Vice Chair Jennifer Chelwick, will convene at 131 Airport Dr., poised to discuss a range of routine and special agenda items. The meeting, scheduled to start at 4 pm, is open for public comments as per the State of Texas Open Meetings Act.
The agenda listed on the airport's official website details a consent segment where straightforward items like November meeting minutes, financial reports for December 2025, and recent operations and fuel sales reports are set to be swiftly enacted upon. Notably, a contract award for a roof restoration project is on this month's docket, slated for notification, with board members expected to approve an agreement with LBK.
It's also an opportunity for the public to speak their minds, with a specific slot carved out early in the session for comments on any issue, whether or not it's on the board's agenda. The City of Midlothian stipulates, "This is the appropriate time for citizens to address the Board on any concern whether on this agenda or not." However, the Board may not deliberate on these public statements during this time, except under specific legal provisions.
Accessibility has been taken into account, with arrangements for mobility-impaired individuals and available sign interpretive services upon request. As Mary McDonald, Deputy City Secretary of Midlothian, confirmed in the notice, interested attendees requiring additional support need to reach out to the ADA Coordinator well in advance. Moreover, the presence of council members from adjacent municipalities is possible, yet no city council actions will take place during this airport-focused assembly.
