City authorizes contract to accept $736,367 grant for airport Taxiway A design
Summary
The commission approved Resolution 119 authorizing the interim city manager to execute a federal/state/local airport project contract with MDOT to accept a $736,367 grant for the design phase of Taxiway A reconstruction at the Battle Creek airport.
The Battle Creek City Commission on May 6 approved Resolution 119 to accept a $736,367 grant to fund design work for full reconstruction of Taxiway A at the Battle Creek Airport.
The clerk read the resolution summary, which explained the grant will support design to bring the airfield into compliance with current Federal Aviation Administration safety guidance, enhance operational efficiency, and support future airport growth. The resolution authorizes the interim city manager to execute the federal, state and local airport project contract with the Michigan Department of Transportation and to sign any necessary FAA sponsor certifications in forms approved by the city attorney.
Why it matters: the design work is a step toward reconstructing Taxiway A to meet safety guidance and improve airfield operations. The amount named in the resolution is $736,367 for the design phase.
The motion to approve the resolution was moved and supported and the commission voted to approve Resolution 119. The transcript records the authorization language; execution of the contract and any subsequent construction-phase grants or work will proceed under the contract and follow-up approvals as required.
