Perry council authorizes payments and grant reimbursements for airport hangars project
Loading...
Summary
Council approved resolution 2026‑01 authorizing the city manager to apply for grant reimbursements and to make required payments to Firebrand Construction LLC and Park Hill Engineering for construction of hangars at Perry Municipal Airport; staff said the first payout is largely a mobilization fee and the project will be mostly grant‑funded.
The Perry City Council approved Resolution 2026‑01 authorizing the city manager to pursue reimbursements on multiple grants for the Perry Municipal Airport hangar construction project and to make required payments to Firebrand Construction LLC and Park Hill Engineering.
City Manager Nate told the council the first payment application is primarily a mobilization fee and noted the hangar project’s financing structure is heavily grant‑dependent. He said roughly 95% of project costs are expected to be covered by grant awards and that the city will pay invoices and then request drawdowns from grant programs, a process staff estimated could take six to eight weeks for reimbursement processing.
Council members asked about the number of hangars included in project documents; staff said plans show four hangars in total and acknowledged some early invoices include only partial pay items. Nate also noted FAA award rules include a multi‑year spending window (staff cited a seven‑year period for some FAA funds), meaning the city has time to complete and bill the work within program limits.
Council approved the resolution on a roll call and asked staff to manage the project and associated invoices to keep reimbursements timely.
