Summary
The Alpine City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-06-20-A to participate in the Texas Department of Transportation Automated Weather Observing System grant program to pursue financial assistance for an AWOS installation or upgrade at the municipal airport.
The Alpine City Council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the city to participate in the Texas Department of Transportation’s Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) grant program.
Council approved Resolution 2025-06-20-A to seek financial assistance through TxDOT’s AWOS program to support an automated weather observation system at the city airport. The resolution passed unanimously; the city secretary recorded all council members voting in favor.
Council Member Stevens, speaking during the discussion, said he supported the move and cited operational reasons: “I’m a pilot, and we gotta get that air once moved. Otherwise, we cannot expand our airport,” he said, urging approval to support future airport expansion. No detailed budget breakdown or match requirements were stated during the meeting.
The council did not amend the resolution during the meeting and took no additional votes related to airport funding. Next steps were not specified in the public record of the meeting; participation in the TxDOT grant program typically requires subsequent application materials and compliance with TxDOT program requirements.
