Commission authorizes FAA grant application for Coffeyville runway mill-and-overlay design
Summary
The commission approved a resolution to submit an FAA grant application and proceed with design-only tasking for a mill-and-overlay of Runway 17/35 at Coffeyville Regional Airport; staff said the project is estimated at about $5 million with FAA covering 95% of eligible costs.
The Coffeyville City Commission authorized staff to submit an FAA grant application and move forward on design for a mill-and-overlay of Runway 17/35 at Coffeyville Regional Airport.
Why it matters: Airport pavement preservation is critical to safe operations and attracting aeronautical activity. The grant, if awarded, would fund the design phase and eventually construction when FAA funds are available; staff called this a roughly $5 million project with a 95% FAA and 5% sponsor match.
Discussion: Jared Powers, director of parks (presenting on the airport item), said airport staff completed a geotechnical analysis and received FAA notice to proceed with the grant application. Commissioners asked about runway closure duration and schedule; staff said design authorization is the current action and that construction timing depends on pooled FAA discretionary funds, with a late-2026 to mid-2027 timeframe discussed as possible if funding aligns.
Commission action: The commission approved Resolution R-25-60 to submit the grant application and proceed with design; recorded votes were read and the motion carried.
Next steps: Staff to submit the FAA design/grant application and coordinate schedule and funding once FAA notifies of award.
