Airport leadership on Aug. 5 presented the Addison Airport’s FY2026 operating and capital requests and outlined near‑term redevelopment projects tied to the airport master plan. Presenters included acting airport leadership and the newly hired airport director, Jamie Androsa, and assistant director Bill Dyer. The department asked council to approve a one‑time contract for a GIS manager/technician (proposed $150,000) to document airfield assets, utilities and safety‑related infrastructure for ongoing planning and future maintenance.The airport’s five highest CIP priorities described to council were:1) Uniform storm drainage improvements for the west airfield (design request $245,000 in FY2026; larger construction funding proposed in FY2027, primarily through grants);2) Taxiway Bravo extension, phase 2 (design programmed FY2026 at $609,000 with TxDOT grant participation estimated and construction anticipated in FY2027 at roughly $10 million, most funding sought from TxDOT);3) Fuel‑farm improvements to house electrical equipment, add above‑ground tanks for town vehicle fuel and add restrooms (design/initial work proposed; construction roughly $1.6 million in FY2027 funded by airport resources);4) Reconstruction of Andy Rigelbacher Drive to replace failing pavement and associated utilities/stormwater (design $220,000 in FY2026; construction to follow, proposed to be financed by airport bonds or certificates of obligation); and5) Ongoing tenant‑led redevelopment projects including executive hangars (Scott Harbor Phase 1) and other private investments on the west side, which the taxiway work will facilitate.Staff said the Bravo extension and other large construction projects will depend on outside grants, primarily TxDOT aviation funds and FAA grant programs; design costs in FY2026 include modest airport fund matches in several cases. The airport fund projection included cash funding for several projects and potential bond issuances in the 2026‑2030 horizon to spread costs over asset life. Staff also reported operational savings found via resource‑maximization work, including on‑site sterilization of regulated garbage that will stop multiple weekly trips to off‑site disposal and yield roughly $25,000 in annual savings.Council did not take final action on CIP projects Aug. 5. Staff said they will return Aug. 12 with a detailed airport update and a fuller financial plan that ties grant requests, bond timing and airport fund balances together.
