Airport Commission approves minutes, photo display, Park Hill amendment recommendation and FAA AIP grant application
Summary
The Alva Airport Commission approved four procedural items at its May 20 meeting: minutes from April 14, placement of donated photos, a recommendation to the city council on Park Hill Amendment 12 (design/infrastructure), and submission of an FAA AIP grant application for design-only hangar work ($105,450 grant; $5,550 city match).
At its May 20 meeting the Alva Airport Commission took formal votes on several agenda items.
Approval of minutes (Item 3): A motion to approve minutes of the April 14, 2025 meeting was made, seconded and adopted by voice/roll call. Commissioners recorded in the roll call included Weener and Lawson, who voted yes; the motion passed.
Placement of donated photos (Item 5): The commission approved a motion to hang four photos donated by Paul Ward (Woodward). The motion authorized the airport manager to work with donor/volunteer Bob Baker on placement; commissioners voted in favor (Wagner, Kinsey and Bobston recorded as voting yes in the roll call).
Park Hill Amendment 12 recommendation (Item 7): The commission voted to recommend approval to the city council of Park Hill Amendment 12 (authorized design and infrastructure). A motion was made and seconded; roll-call votes recorded Kinsey, Weidner and Boston as voting yes. The action was a recommendation to the city council rather than a final contract award.
FAA AIP grant application (Item 8): The commission voted to recommend the city council approve submission of a Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant application identified in the meeting as AIP 3-40-0003-021-2025. The grant amount discussed was $105,450 with a required city match of $5,550; the application was for design-only work for hangars. Commissioners present recorded yes votes including Kinsey and Lofton; the motion carried and the commission will forward the application recommendation to the city council for final approval.
Why it matters: the Park Hill amendment and the FAA AIP grant—if approved by the city council and FAA—would fund airport design and infrastructure work. The grant requires a city match, which affects municipal budgeting.
