Another tack worth thinking about is carving the airport out of the city into a
special use district...sort of a "city within a city". Once this happens, the
city council has absolutely no say about how the airport is run, but the
district also has to be self-funding with a nominal tax base set by the election
that forms the district.

-to take control of the airport now, before any ideas like that are
-fully-formed
