A unanimously passed resolution allows SEMSA/Air Methods to rent a hanger at the Susanville Airport for its commercial air ambulance operations.
During the Wednesday, Jan. 6 Susanville City Council meeting, the board unanimously passed a resolution authorizing Kevin Jones, city administrator/chief of police, to execute a lease agreement with Sierra Medical Services Alliance, a Nevada non-profit corporation OBA SEMSA, for the rental of hangar No. 9 and helipad at the Susanville Airport.
