Narrative

RWY 9R CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION. TXWY E CLOSED W OF RWY 13 FOR CONSTRUCTION. RWY 13 CLOSED TO ARRS AND DEPS. RWY 31 CLOSED TO ARRS; AVAILABLE TO DEPS PRIOR TO WIND SHIFT AT XA00. ORANGE CONES PLACED ACROSS DEP END OF RWY 13 AT TXWY E AND PERSONNEL AND EQUIP NEAR AND/OR ON DEP END. ATIS ADVERTISED ILS; NDB; AND GPS RWY 9R APCHS IN USE; SIDESTEP TO RWY 9L. LNDG AND DEPARTING RWY 9L. RWY 9R CLOSED. TXWY E CLOSED W OF RWY 13. ATIS DID NOT CONTAIN INFO REGARDING STATUS OF RWY 13 FOR ARRS OR DEPS. XB O'CLOCK CREW ARRIVED. I BRIEFED NEW GND CTLR ON ABOVE. I STARTED DOWNSTAIRS AND HEARD LCL CTL S CTLR CLR AN ACFT TO LAND ON RWY 13. I TOLD LCL CTL S CTLR THEY COULD NOT DO THAT AND THEY HAD BETTER CHK WITH THE COUNTY. RESPONSE WAS NO; THEY WANTED ACFT ON RWY 13 AND DID NOT WANT TO ASK COUNTY IN CASE ANSWER WAS IN THE NEGATIVE. THE MORNING CIC OBSERVED THIS AS WELL AS CTLR WORKING CAB COORDINATOR. I DID NOT HEAR EITHER SAY ANYTHING. I LEFT THE TWR CAB PRIOR TO THE ACFT; WHICH I BELIEVE WAS A BE55; LANDED ON RWY 13. AT APPROX XC O'CLOCK; LCL CTL S CTLR SELF-RPTED TO SUPVR WHO RESPONDED; 'YOU CAN'T DO THAT.' MY OPINION IS THIS WAS A BONA FIDE OPERROR AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE GONE UNRPTED OUTSIDE OF TMB AS REQUIRED BY FAA REGS.
