Council reviews airport maintenance, development interest and power planning as city faces potential 1.5 MW shortfall in 2027
Summary
Councilmembers approved $700 to fill airport runway cracks, reported developer interest in a 10,000 sq ft hangar, and were advised to 'call back' power by Friday to address a projected 1.5 megawatt shortfall in 2027. Staff also reported residential development activity on 400 North.
During department reports, Councilmember Eugene R. Larsen said the city will pay $700 to address remaining cracks on the airport runway and apron and reported interest from a developer in building a 10,000-square-foot hangar at the Fillmore airport. Larsen also told the council that the city needs to inform IPP by Friday how much power it will "call back," because the city is projected to be approximately 1.5 megawatts short in 2027 if changes are not made.
Planning Coordinator Wayne Jackson reported that developers for the residential project on 400 North have obtained permits and are nearly ready to start vertical construction. Councilmember Amber Rausch announced a city clean-up next week, the selection of Stella Day Park for the new community garden, and ongoing 4th of July planning. The council did not take formal action on the airport hangar interest or power-call decisions during the meeting, but staff and the appropriate council committees were assigned follow-up tasks.
