Airport board reviews budget; staff reports roughly $1.3M in airport‑restricted funds
Summary
Airport staff told the board that prior CARES/CRRSA/ARPA funding and unspent revenues left about $1.3 million restricted to airport use, and that the 2025 draft budget is projected 'in the black' after adjustments. Capital priorities cited include terminal foundation/roof and a water pump; the entrance road is on the FAA CIP for 2026.
Airport staff presented an updated budget showing roughly $1.3 million of airport‑restricted funds that must be used for airport projects or expenses. Staff said prior federal pandemic and relief grants left operating revenues unspent, which increased the airport’s fund balance; the draft 2025 budget was described as being back in surplus after adjustments.
Board members requested copies of the supporting documentation and asked for assessments justifying line items in the capital list, including the terminal foundation and roof replacement, the water pump, and security/camera upgrades. Staff said the entrance road appears on the FAA CIP list for 2026 and that many FAA funds are prioritized to airfield projects.
Members also discussed prioritization and noted that some capital items may be eligible for grants while others are operating needs. Staff said larger capital projects will be scoped and go to bid as appropriate, with FAA funding and independent fee estimates governing consultant and construction fees when applicable.
