Council approves design proposal for new 80×80 airport hangar; city share stated as $1,750
Summary
Council approved a design and bidding proposal for an 80×80 hangar at Pipestone Municipal Airport. Staff said the total design fee is $70,000 and stated the city’s share of that cost as $1,750 under a 95% federal, 2.5% state, 2.5% local funding split, and noted the hangar must be built in 2025 to meet funding timelines.
Pipestone City Council approved a design-and-bidding proposal to begin work on a new 80×80 hangar at Pipestone Municipal Airport.
Travis (staff member) told the council the design services contract totals $70,000. He summarized the expected funding split as 95% federal, 2.5% state and 2.5% local, and stated the city’s share of the design-services cost as $1,750. He added the grant funding sunsets in 2025, meaning the hangar must be built in 2025 to meet the program deadline.
Councilmembers moved and seconded a motion to approve the design proposal and the motion carried by voice vote. Staff said the hangar would be added to the south/north side of the existing hangars (near Taxi Lane Two and north of the entrance road) and that the city already maintains a waiting list for hangar rentals.
The council did not identify additional city funding beyond the stated design share or list a construction contract; staff said the subsequent construction schedule is driven by the federal/state funding timeline.
