Bonner County issues notice to proceed for Sandpoint Airport obstruction removal funded by FAA AIP grant
Summary
The commissioners authorized a notice to proceed for tree removal at Sandpoint Airport, funded by an FAA Airport Improvement Program grant, with project completion scheduled by Dec. 1, 2025.
The Bonner County Board of County Commissioners on Oct. 7 authorized a notice to proceed for an obstruction removal project at Sandpoint Airport, clearing trees at both ends of the runway under a Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program (FAA AIP) grant.
An airport representative (listed in the meeting as Mr. Shook) told the board the work is funded by an AIP grant the board approved earlier this year and is scheduled to be completed no later than Dec. 1, 2025. "I recommend issuing this notice," the presenter said.
The board asked no substantive questions, moved to issue the notice and authorized the chair to sign administratively. A roll call vote approved the motion.
Why it matters: Obstruction removal is a safety action that supports aircraft operations at Sandpoint Airport and uses federal grant funding already accepted by the county.
Next steps: Airport staff and the contractor will proceed under the notice to proceed and the county will monitor completion milestones and grant compliance.
