Airport engineer updates Mansfield Airport Commission on runway reconstruction, avigation easement and wildlife hazard assessment
Summary
At its Jan. 12 meeting, the Mansfield Airport Commission heard an update from engineer Mike Ottariano of Gale Associates on the Runway 14-32 reconstruction, a Runway 32 avigation easement acquisition (AIP No. 3-25-0028-35-2020), and the status of a wildlife hazard assessment; no formal action was taken on the projects.
Mike Ottariano of Gale Associates told the Mansfield Airport Commission on Jan. 12 that work on several airport infrastructure items is underway, including the Runway 32 Avigation Easement Acquisition Project (AIP No. 3-25-0028-35-2020) and construction-phase services for the reconstruction of Runway 14-32 and Taxiway A (listed in the minutes as AIP No. 3-25-0028-XXX-2025). Ottariano also reported on the status of the airport's wildlife hazard assessment and responded to commissioners' questions.
The commission did not record any formal votes related to the engineer's project updates at the meeting. The minutes note that Ottariano answered questions from commissioners but do not include technical specifics, schedules, contractor names, or funding breakdowns beyond the AIP identifiers listed in the engineer's report.
The engineer's presentation matters because the Runway 14-32 reconstruction and associated easement work relate to runway safety and future airport operations. The minutes do not specify timelines for easement acquisition or construction, nor do they provide the full AIP award or spending amounts; those details were not recorded in the minutes and are not specified.
Mike Ottariano first provided these updates after the Airport Manager's operational report. The Commission is scheduled to meet next on Feb. 9, 2026, when members may revisit project status or take formal action if required.
