Summary

Commissioners accepted final work completed by Phillips Fencing at the county airport and approved the 5% county balance due—$1,568.71—on a $31,374.30 contract, with most funding provided by state sources.

County staff reported that Phillips Fencing has finished a security fence between hangar areas and adjacent private land at the county airport and presented final paperwork to close the project.

Brian, who described the project to the board, said the total contract was $31,374.30 and that state funding covered the majority of the cost. "The work was completed this spring, and we've been waiting on some final paperwork to get this project closed out," he said. He told commissioners the county's balance due is 5 percent, $1,568.71, and offered to confirm the exact funding breakdown by email.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about funding shares and the public-safety reason for the fence; Brian said the FAA and Aeronautics staff recommended the separation because of increased airport activity next to private residential use. The board moved and approved the final payment to close out the contract.

The action closes the procurement file; staff said they will email the precise reimbursement percentage and retain project records for any future audit.
