The airport board approved multiple payment items tied to the New Tech facility and associated AIP (Airport Improvement Program) project work.

The board approved a partial pay request No. 4 in the amount of $18,218.63 for July work and granted staff authority to submit a progress estimate and request FAA reimbursement for previously approved invoices. Staff identified a progress-estimate total reported in the meeting as $143,480.88 for FAA reimbursement; the board authorized staff to request those FAA funds.

Earlier in the meeting staff also asked the board to approve an AIP amendment (listed on the agenda as "AIP 40" paperwork). The transcript did not clearly capture a definitive dollar amount for that amendment when read aloud; the board approved the amendment as presented.

Contractors for the New Tech facility were present at the meeting and staff noted a related discussion with local fire officials about fire-code requirements; staff said they would discuss required adjustments with the contractor following the meeting. The board approved the payment items and directed staff to continue processing FAA reimbursement paperwork and contractor progress payments.
