Village Administrator Jeff Fiegenschuh said Duke has taken a lobbying position for the airline industry.
Duke said he opted to make the move “for reasons related to family.”
“I have learned many things related to aviation and non-aviation while being with the village, but it was my fellow village employees and their enthusiasm for making a positive difference that has had the biggest impact on me,” Duke said.
Fiegenschuh said Duke will not be replaced as manager. Instead, Carson Vericker, who has served in the No. 2 position under Duke, will assume oversight of the day-to-day operations of the airport. That includes overseeing the fixed-base operator, vendors and purchases.
Vericker will report to the public works department.
David Silver of the village inspections department will oversee property maintenance at the airport and the leasing of all airport facilities.
Fiegenschuh said not filling the airport manager post is expected to save $40,000-$50,000.
The personnel change will go forward on a six-month trial basis.
The village administrator lauded Duke’s work with the village.
“Rune was an extremely effective individual,” Fiegenschuh said. “He’s got so much potential in this industry. I’m happy and proud of him.”
