Council reviews TDOT airport maintenance grant; local match required
Summary
Staff said Shelbyville’s annual TDOT airport maintenance grant has increased to $20,000 for the year and carries a local match (described in meeting as about a 5% match). Council asked staff to provide required documents so the mayor can sign the application contract.
City staff told the Sept. 2 study session that Shelbyville’s annual Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) airport maintenance grant, normally about $15,000, has increased this year to $20,000 and includes a required local match. Staff described the match as approximately 5 percent (roughly $1,054 as discussed in the meeting) and said the grant is typically reimbursement-based: the city pays eligible costs and receives reimbursement once the state approves invoices.
Lisa, who attends the airport authority meetings, answered council questions about the scope of maintenance work and confirmed the grant is used for airport maintenance items such as repairs and pavement upkeep. Staff said the mayor’s signature and supporting documentation will be needed to submit the application and execute the contract once staff finalizes forms.
No formal vote was recorded at the study session; staff was asked to provide the required documentation and routing to allow the mayor to sign the grant paperwork per the usual process.
