Officials approve $60,000 for FBO renovations at county airport
Summary
County officials approved a $60,000 allocation to renovate the FBO interior and replace rot‑damaged windows; the presenter said $25,000 existed in repair funds and requested an extra $15,000 contingency to avoid crowding operating budgets.
Daviess County officials approved a $60,000 request to renovate the fixed-base operator (FBO) facility at the county airport.
An airport presenter described interior updates including new windows and an exterior door and said the county has quote-unquote "some rot around" south-facing windows. The presenter said the department has $25,000 in a repair budget and a $100,000 professional budget it could draw from but preferred to approve a $60,000 allocation to avoid tapping operating funds; the presenter added that the $15,000 portion is a contingency for unforeseen costs.
The presenter gave an approximate construction era for the structure (references ranged from 1987 to the early 1990s in the discussion); the presenter said they had trouble finding a precise build date. "I'm asking for 60 because we all know that once you start updating, you kinda run into snafu," the presenter said.
A Committee member moved to approve the $60,000 request for aviation, the motion was seconded (by named board members), and the Chair called a voice vote recorded as "aye." The motion passed.
The presenter invited board members to view the completed work when finished; no contract award details or contractor names were provided at the meeting.
