In public comment, the airport’s FBO operator said new tanks have been installed and that crews are awaiting electrical work and concrete work to bring a full-functioning Jet A tank online. “We’ve been on highest gallon sold one month right after the other,” the FBO operator said, describing consecutive months of elevated Jet A sales.

Airport staff gave an operations update: the EAA-sponsored summer flight camp scheduled for late May had been postponed because volunteer pilots were unavailable after community air-show events and Oshkosh; staff said they are working on alternate arrangements and will notify parents of options. Staff also said new parking-lot curbs at the terminal have been installed and that the airport submitted its 2025 aero-education grant application to the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics (ODAA) to request program funding.

Staff announced a joint Guthrie–Edmond city council meeting tentatively scheduled for Friday, Sept. 12, at the Meridian Technology Center; the morning will include presentations and a planned airport visit and demonstration flights for council members and ODAA representatives. The board’s next regular meeting was listed as Aug. 12 at 3:30 p.m.

During board comments, several members praised staff work but raised a persistent concern about the airport’s website containing outdated information and incorrect board-member listings. One board member said their name was still shown as a predecessor on the site and asked staff to prioritize an overhaul. Staff said the city budget includes funds to overhaul the airport and city websites to meet updated ADA requirements and that they will attempt to coordinate the work across departments.

No regulatory changes or new policies were adopted during the meeting; these operational updates were presented for information and for staff follow-up.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","7/8/25 GERA BOARD MEETING","oneSentenceSummary","Airport staff and a fixed-base operator at the Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport reported strong recent Jet A fuel sales and progress on a new Jet A tank, while the airport said a youth flight camp was postponed and an aero-education grant application was submitted.","taxTitle","Regional Airport Board Meetings, Guthrie, Logan County, Oklahoma","taxId",74057,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6176515,"Board approves perimeter-fence contract amendment and awards construction bid pending FAA grant",204,514520,719350,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346769-8934b314944b6d53c7f43130d4997b77&start=514&end=719","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346769-8934b314944b6d53c7f43130d4997b77/thumbnail_514520.jpg","/articles/6176515/Oklahoma/Board-approves-perimeter-fence-contract-amendment-and-awards-construction-bid-pending-FAA-grant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6176515-346d7646125625efc4fe4aa47749d6a9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771071074&Signature=nNGfmOXoCZ5DwTrGZYPtgMQtVAP0YrdTNuth4LdvpLrdRscs~0UCpPtaDXOGvjETaKDM9JMO2JVipJnO7dMEZz~IUkXcX9r9CgoxE8PqoHcVV76DyjIStuizTIOsdK3jxVUCuKGAWmdUuwHS2B17oZ44eV7dj7cYCtRaSS9UnSBx9Od2whiMvWInAaMKJOCJPGGueKPt3iFi2bpGQVR0p39bbiilPADw4vNlllnv-pRw2~kCmccB5e5suy8-Jmm3VgH27WURLbSZWozPi7e4~HIuuHciY4ebzV~cuOXwSNiPgWERCFXthty3IyRNd85VD1C2opcf4VTq~eAWfzzsAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport Board recommended approving an amendment to the owner–engineer agreement with Park Hill and approved awarding the perimeter-fence construction contract to Steward Dirtworks LLC, contingent on receipt of Federal Aviation Administration grant funding.

Staff described that the amendment is labeled \"Amendment No. 10\" because survey and design work began under a previous agreement; splitting those costs across contracts had caused difficulties with the grant process. Staff told the board the local match on the project would be small (about 2.5% for each city) and that required resident-project representation (RPR) costs appear high but are mandated by FAA and state grant conditions.

Five sealed bids were received for the fencing work; the apparent low bidder, Lohman Fencing, submitted a low bid ($255,390) but Park Hill engineers identified multiple discrepancies in that bid packet. Park Hill recommended awarding the contract to the next responsive bidder, Steward Dirtworks LLC, whose valid low bid was $261,407. Staff’s packet showed a total project cost estimate of about $291,407 after engineering and design costs and noted the airport would apply Aviation Improvement Grant (AIG) funds and FAA grants to cover the project.

Park Hill’s recommendation and staff materials were included in the board packet. After a motion and second, the board approved the recommendation to award to Steward Dirtworks LLC, subject to FAA grant receipt; staff said the item would proceed to city council for a resolution accepting the grant once awarded. Board members asked for clearer project labeling on future agenda packets (for example, including the project BIN number and a short description of the work) so the public can more readily see what the contract will accomplish.

The board also discussed project scope: removing existing barbed-wire fencing along an access road near an old industrial crossing and replacing it with the specified perimeter material; staff said volunteers and pilots would be invited to view project work once grants and contracts are finalized.

The board voted to recommend approval of the contract amendment and to award the construction contract to Steward Dirtworks LLC, contingent on FAA grant funding; no roll-call tally was read into the record.","The board recommended approval of an amendment to the owner–engineer agreement for perimeter fence work and approved awarding the construction contract to Steward Dirtworks LLC, subject to FAA grant receipt; Park Hill recommended the bidder after rejecting a lower bid with discrepancies.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6176520,"Guthrie-Edmond Airport Board OKs trade of 2009 John Deere for $16,000 mower",345,167355,512915,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346769-8934b314944b6d53c7f43130d4997b77&start=167&end=512","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346769-8934b314944b6d53c7f43130d4997b77/thumbnail_167355.jpg","/articles/6176520/Oklahoma/Guthrie-Edmond-Airport-Board-OKs-trade-of-2009-John-Deere-for-16000-mower","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6176520-75406651cd329d741f9a92e1fb2e1ffe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771071074&Signature=SBL3BXl1QqomF~LGtN7aM4xolx-M1EHJ48Ao3ai0H3My2mn5OTrEfqm2ekkLCzQjOF-NiVa8rbT1y7r6kNPZXnrDCGTSQaCXHf1ZB1BHcK6ePidKHGWvv-rKBdlBCBQR7b149SQrsFbLClalWPAUEf5ia3orLq2XAXRbJiVlvF8fF8OeMloBH8xY2rPP7j3cxV-yvrW18wHzMX9SMAp8vmb6qCxv2zgIr5mDCriOk9rmOk2mCGZvs6hkjEHwZxcaFu1KbBsRotXYHGxRRyxxJFB9esfYm-T9ikxLLFBV10ycNl5AfpgIE4ZVs2Ve-pwo7y3cLc65hP8~2aNcWnXOcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport Board voted to authorize airport staff to trade a 2009 John Deere tractor to the Guthrie Public Works Department in exchange for $16,000 in capital outlay funds to purchase a mower.

Board members approved the trade during the board’s July special meeting after staff described low recent use of the tractor and an ongoing need for a turf mower. Airport staff said the department had budgeted $16,000 for a mower and coordinated the swap with Guthrie Public Works as a way to meet that need without an additional cash outlay.

Airport staff told the board the 2009 tractor had been purchased around 2009–2010 and initially was needed when the airport’s equipment lineup was smaller. Staff said the airport later acquired a larger tractor and two mowers; one mower was replaced last year from the capital outlay account, and the remaining mower is beginning to show similar wear. “We have only used that tractor once in the past two years,” airport staff said, explaining the tractor is underused for the airport’s current needs, which focus on finished mowing.

Staff also said the airport’s current grass-management contract with a vendor (Mike Smith) covers much of the mowing across airport acreage, reducing the airport’s internal need for the older tractor. The trade, staff said, effectively transfers an underused airport asset to a city department that has greater need for that type of equipment.

Board members questioned the tractor’s residual value and whether implements would transfer. Airport staff said certain attachments (a 5-foot back wing or brush hog) would move with the tractor, while the larger mower and other implements would remain with the airport’s larger tractor. Staff provided historical purchase figures in the discussion: the vehicle was described in meeting materials as originally purchased for about $24,711 and the mower replacement was budgeted at $16,000.

A board member moved approval and the motion was seconded; the board voted in favor and the motion passed.

The vote recorded in the meeting minutes shows the motion was moved, seconded and approved; no formal roll-call tally was given on the record.","The Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport Board authorized staff to trade a 2009 John Deere tractor to Guthrie Public Works in exchange for $16,000 worth of capital outlay funds to buy a mower; board members discussed usage history and funding sources before approving the swap.","actionData","errors"]
