Committee updates: glass crusher delivery expected March 25; airport rehabilitation at 60% with runway resurfacing planned
Summary
Council committee reports said a new glass crusher is expected by March 25 and that airport apron rehabilitation is 60% complete with bids expected in April and a possible $4 million runway resurfacing planned for the next fiscal year.
Council committee updates at the Powell City Council meeting included delivery details for a new glass crusher and several airport projects.
Paul (committee speaker identified in the record) said the new glass crusher will be delivered by March 25; specialty bins remain to be ordered and final electrical work and installation are expected to follow. The recycling update noted coordination with local advertising and outreach once installation nears completion.
An airport-board update reported the apron rehabilitation is roughly 60% complete; staff hope to put bidding documents out in April with construction possibly occurring before the Wings and Wheels event in August. An antenna installation funded by the state has been installed and provides real-time aircraft reception and optional ground-tracking capability. The airport report also mentioned a planned survey of airport users and a potential reception in April for airport users, council staff and local businesses to discuss future development. Officials also noted a possible $4,000,000 runway resurfacing for one runway with potential lighting upgrades, likely in the next fiscal year.
Why it matters: The glass crusher will enable local glass recycling while airport rehabilitation and runway work affect regional transportation, economic activity and event planning timelines.
Staff and committees will continue coordination on installation, bidding and outreach ahead of construction and events.
