MASON CITY – Candidate for Mason City council Brett Foster Schoneman has a less-than-stellar attendance record at Mason City Airport Commission meetings, documents show.
Schoneman, who was appointed to the board by Mayor Eric Bookmeyer, has been absent 5 of the last 12 Airport Commission meetings. These absences are shown in commission meeting minutes, which list which board members show up. Schoneman, a realtor from Garner who moved to Mason City 5 years ago, did attend the August meeting, held just days before he declared his intention to run for city council. Bookmeyer refused to answer questions about what he considers to be acceptable attendance at board meetings by his appointees.
NIT earlier reported that Schoneman was late paying his taxes numerous times over the past 5 years. When questioned during a brief phone interview, Schoneman refused to address his tax situation nor answer questions about his plans for Mason City as a potential council member.

He’s not the only geek on the airport commission by the way..Double ewwwww thinking about that group. I really don’t see how or why all of the commissions and council and running the show types think Mason City Iowa is where it’s at?! Who couldn’t do any of that here? Go big or go HOME!
Are you saying he’s one of his best butt buddies?? Ha Ha now that real funny huh Mayor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is one of that arse of a mayors best friends. That is all I need to know.

Just more dead weight from the mayor.
Thanks NIT. We the people need to know this kind of thing about our potentially elected officials.
I have to agree with you on this one.
Would make a good drinking buddy for Bookie.
Just what we need another absent council member.
Another crony that wants to get on board the crookmeyer bus. We really don’t need another, yes boy, and a slacker at that.
