Impact analysis
Upgrading to a fully secured airport could require fencing, badging, and TSA screening for everyone entering the gate.
Everyone flying or working at the airport would benefit from tighter control of who gets through the gate.
Hangar owners and their guests could lose informal gate access if TSA requirements tighten.

Board members say gate cards are being shared and non-aviation visitors are wandering the ramp, and one member cited federal TSA rules (49 CFR 1542) that could require much stricter ID and access controls. The city attorney will review what actually applies to Page before any new rules go to council.
