Council accepts COAR grant to rehabilitate airport access road; city share 1%
Summary
Baker City accepted a Critical Oregon Airport Rescue (COAR) grant that pairs with a PA grant; staff said the state grant covers 99% of eligible costs and the city’s share will be approximately 1%.
Baker City — The council approved acceptance of a COAR (Critical Oregon Airport Rescue) grant from the Oregon Department of Aviation to rehabilitate the airport access road.
Staff told councilors the grant matches a PA grant and reduces the city's portion of the project to about 1% of eligible costs. The precise scope is still under study because the base condition of the road has not yet been fully investigated; staff said the likely work will resemble a bridle/rehabilitation similar to the Cedar Street project.
Council action: A motion to accept the grant passed by voice vote. Staff noted the grant will proceed with further engineering and design to determine final scope and construction approach.
Next steps: Engineering assessments will determine the full scope; staff will return with project details, cost estimates and any required city matching funds once the base evaluation is complete.
