Commission approves Laurel County Airport snow-removal contract with $2,500 hourly cap noted
Summary
The commission approved a snow-removal contract for the Laurel County Airport with speakers noting a $2,500 maximum (calculated as $50 per hour for 50 hours) and discussion about fuel responsibilities and the possibility of returning for extra funds if extreme storms exceed the cap.
Laurel County commissioners approved a no-removal/snow-removal contract for the Laurel County Airport during the Oct. 9 meeting, after a discussion that clarified hourly rates, an apparent $2,500 cap and responsibility for fuel costs.
Speaker 1 introduced the airport contract and the commission discussed operational terms. Speaker 3 explained that the $2,500 figure corresponds to a $50 hourly rate for up to 50 hours and said that if an extraordinary storm required more than 50 hours the contractor would need to return to the commission for additional funding. Speakers also discussed who would pay for fuel; the transcript records the commission stating the county will pay for fuel and noted past instances when the contractor did not charge for fuel.
After the discussion Speaker 2 moved to approve the contract; the motion was seconded and the roll call returned affirmative votes. The commission recorded the vote and confirmed practical details (hourly maximum, fuel payment responsibility), but the contract text and formal award amount are not included in the transcript.
The transcript does not provide the contractor's name, a contract number or the precise contingency process beyond the statement that the commission would be asked to approve additional funds if needed.
