Airport board accepts design grant and authorizes parking gate design work
Summary
The Beaufort Executive Airport board voted to accept a state aeronautics commission grant for an administration facility design and approved work authorization for parking gate design by Talbert Bridal and Ellington, approving both motions by voice with no roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript.
The Beaufort Executive Airport Board voted to accept a state aeronautics commission grant to fund a conceptual design package for a consolidated airport administration facility and separately authorized work for design of a gate-based parking system.
During the meeting staff said the aeronautics commission approved the grant offer for conceptual design of an administration facility at 26 Hunter Road and that the grant paperwork is moving through county approval. The board moved and approved acceptance of the grant by voice vote.
The board also considered a work authorization request for Talbert Bridal and Ellington to design parking gates and related systems. The proposed system uses license-plate readers, a 30-minute free window for pick-ups, employee and vendor codes, and cloud-based back-office management. Staff said generators and manual backups would be provided for power outages; members discussed how the gate would handle high traffic at the Beach City Road entrance. The board approved the work authorization by voice vote.
What it means: staff said the gate system will replace the current honor-scan process to capture revenue and reduce confusion for customers. Both votes were recorded in the meeting as approved by voice; no roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript.
