Select Board approves $33,992 from reserve for crack repair; town to seek FAA reimbursement
Summary
The board authorized $33,992 from the town’s import reserve to pay the local share for crack repair and runway markings; staff said the town pays upfront and will submit for FAA reimbursement, and that the town’s share is small (about 2.5% quoted).
The Rangeley Select Board approved a motion to take $33,992 from an import reserve to pay the town’s local share for an airport crack‑repair and marking project. Town staff said the payment is the town’s upfront portion for an engineering and repair contract; after payment the town will submit a reimbursement request to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Joe, a town staff member, explained the reimbursement process: the town pays its portion up front, then the town’s contractor helps submit documents to FAA for reimbursement. He said the town’s share “I think it’s 2 and a half percent of the total project,” but clarified that the reimbursement paperwork will follow the contractor payment and close out the town’s portion.
Jim moved the appropriation of $33,992 from the import reserve; Sam seconded the motion, which passed by voice vote. The board’s action funds the engineering portion of the crack‑sealing and marking work, and staff said the town will apply for FAA reimbursement after the payment is processed.
