The Aberdeen City Council approved a five-year lease (with a five-year renewal option) for municipal Hangar 9 after airport staff said the hangar received the best offer during a posted lease process.

Rich, representing airport staff, summarized pay estimate No. 3 to Quest Construction ($77,364.62) and several smaller invoices and change-order items tied to the terminal expansion, including a conveyor system charge, irrigation reroute, ADA ramp replacement and additional foundation excavation. He said funding for the project includes state funds (Senate Bill 144) of $1,200,000, a federal AIP grant of $800,000, another federal grant of $64,600 and an estimated local share of about $60,000. The council approved the invoices and change orders.

The council also approved Helms & Associates invoice No. 5 for $2,800.11 for design work on the snow-removal equipment (SRE) building expansion; Rich said the SRE design is about 11% complete and funding for that project is approximately 95% federal, 2.5% state and 2.5% city.

All airport items were recommended by airport staff and approved by the council on motion and roll call as recorded in the meeting transcript.
