Goodland commission approves consent agenda, Welcome Center lease, airport FY26 AIP and trash-contract amendment
Summary
The City of Goodland approved routine minutes and appropriation ordinances, renewed the Walton Center Welcome Center lease, adopted the FY26 Airport Improvement Plan with several large projects identified, and approved an amendment to the city trash contract affecting a 24/7 travel store.
The Goodland City Commission approved a set of items during its meeting, including the consent agenda, a Welcome Center lease renewal, the airport Capital Improvement Plan for federal fiscal year 2026, and an amendment to the municipal trash contract for a 24/7 travel store.
The consent agenda (meeting minutes and appropriation ordinances) was approved on a motion by Commissioner Myers, seconded by Commissioner Showalter, with affirmative roll-call responses recorded by the clerk.
The commission approved the Walton Center lease used by Sherman County Community Development at the Big Easel. Staff presented the annual renewal; Commissioner Howard moved to approve and Commissioner Myers seconded; roll-call votes were recorded in favor.
City staff presented the airport Capital Improvement Plan (AIP) that will be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration. The plan lists near-term projects including construction of a snow removal equipment building (estimated $395,800), design for a main-runway extension of roughly 1,000 feet, relocation of the Instrument Landing System (estimated about $1,600,000), and an eventual runway extension (noted to be over $3,000,000 in today's prices). Staff explained the typical FAA grant split (approximately 90% federal, 10% local) and noted the FAA's apportionment and selection process. Commissioner Myers moved to approve the AIP as presented; the motion passed on roll call.
The commission also approved an amendment to the city's trash contract permitting a compactor/roll-off solution at the 24/7 travel store after staff and the trash contractor discussed operational challenges and service frequency; the amendment was moved, seconded and approved on roll call.
Actions recorded in the meeting minutes will be reflected in the formal meeting record. No ordinances or resolutions were introduced at this meeting; these approvals were routine agenda items and contract renewals subject to future reporting and possible FAA review for the airport projects.
