MARYSVILLE – In the Wild West, Deryck McLeod would have been a sheriff brought in to “clean up this town.” But nowadays, he’s known as a code enforcement officer. McLeod’s 30 years at the Marysville Police Department come in handy in his job. “You never know if there’s a person around the corner, and he might have a gun,” McLeod said.

ARLINGTON — An airport business owner’s allegations of financial impropriety at the Arlington Municipal Airport have prompted a Federal Aviation Administration investigation. On Dec. 18 of last year, Kevin Duncan, owner of Arlington Flight Services, contacted the FAA with 25 claims of “significant financial misconduct” at the airport. On Feb. 5, the FAA began corresponding with airport manager David Ryan about the matter, and requested that he respond to nine of Duncan’s allegations by March 27. On April 1, Allen Kenitzer

of the FAA confirmed that they had received Duncan’s informal complaint of federal grant assurance violations against the Arlington Airport. He also confirmed that the airport had responded to the complaint as requested. Kenitzer would only say the FAA is reviewing the response. Neither Ryan nor city administrator Paul Ellis were able to offer any public comment as of press time. The allegations that the FAA wrote to Ryan about included claims that the city: 1. Used airport funds for police, fire and EMS services. 2. Waived lease payments or late fees for some airport SEE FAA, PAGE 9
