Council amends 2026 capital budget to roll forward grants, fund airport design and studies, and cover project low bids
Summary
Council approved midyear capital amendments totaling revenue requests of $1,828,276 and expense requests of $1,447,645 across sales-tax and construction funds; notable items include FAA AIP-funded runway and apron design, airport water-supply alternatives study, a vehicle replacement (insured partially), and alley/paving cost roll-forwards.
Finance staff presented midyear capital amendments that included revenue recognition and expense increases across multiple funds. Gloria Platt said the packet shows revenue requests of $1,828,276 and expense requests of $1,447,645, much of which reflects grant roll-forwards and transfers from 2025 that need to be recognized in 2026.
Key requests include roll-forward of grant reimbursements in various sales-tax funds, carry-forwards for alley reconstruction and park play-structure donations, and several airport projects. Tony Vicari, aviation director, described FAA AIP-funded design projects for runway pavement maintenance and a commercial apron expansion (approximately 92% grant-funded), a water-supply alternatives study for the airport’s independent water system, and a surprise fleet-vehicle replacement following an electrical fire that will be partially offset by insurance proceeds.
Council and staff noted offsets from lower-than-expected bids on other airport projects and that FAB recommended approval with clarifying edits to slides. Council approved the capital amendments by roll call. Staff indicated operating and additional amendments will be presented at the next regular meeting.
