Council approved regular warrants totaling $1,399,027.26. The mayor noted one large reimbursed purchase—a $497,000 robot for the bomb squad—that will be fully reimbursed by a federal grant (and recognized the Pennington Foundation’s support).
On airport business, Jim (speaker 10) explained the first revision to the seventh amendment of the base agreement with J Aviation/Wolpert Company LLC covers additional asphalt testing the FAA required for the regional commercial service apron project. He said cores were taken to retest asphalt and that the cost overage is eligible under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant; the council approved the amendment.
The council also designated an independent auditor for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Staff recommended continuing with the incumbent firm, which recently joined Squire and Company and is now doing business as Bruce Wire & Company, PC; the audit for FY26 was listed at $84,650 and the council approved the designation.
Additionally, the council approved hand‑cut checks of $110,674.15. These approvals were passed by recorded 'aye' votes from members present; recorded tallies reflected unanimous support among the four members in attendance.
