Board approves LWCF land transfer to school district and airport roof repairs
Summary
Supervisors approved transferring LWCF‑funded recreation land to the Richland School District to preserve public‑use grant conditions, and authorized paying a 30% county share toward Tri‑County Airport roof repairs; the LWCF transfer passed with one abstention.
The Richland County Board voted to transfer Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant property—tennis courts and adjacent fields—to the Richland School District so grant conditions and public access requirements continue to be met. County staff said the grant, received in 1981, contains perpetual public‑use restrictions and that the school district agreed to accept the grant terms; the property transfer passed with one board member abstaining due to a school affiliation.
Separately, the board approved authorizing payment of roughly 30% of the Tri‑County Airport roof repair costs once the project is complete. Staff said the accepted bid was approximately $95,000 and that the county would use remaining borrowed tower funds to cover its share. Supervisors said roof repairs were overdue to protect co‑owned airport assets and to support local economic activity tied to the airport.
