Anyone run into this? Any ideas here on how to stop them from
finalizing rules?

Make contact with your local FAA engineering office and find out who
the airport uses for an engineering firm, and attend all airport board/
commission meetings, check with the SSA and AOPA for input.

There is an advisory circular that allows gliders to be towed to and
from the active runway for launch and recovery. It sounds like the
county is allowing that activity. I guess the assembly, disassembly
and parking of trailers is the issue. The butterfly further
complicates a tough situation. I hope it works out OK.
