Board to ask county to reallocate $54,000 saved on Foxtrot work to nearby pavement rehab
Summary
Staff will ask the county commission to allow about $54,000 in savings from a Foxtrot test strip to be used for rehab of 50 feet of county-owned pavement in front of hangars, not as a request for additional funds.
Airport staff told the board the county previously loaned $700,000 to build the Foxtrot taxilane; after a test strip the project produced roughly $54,000 in savings, and staff plan to request the county commission permission to use that saved amount for a nearby pavement rehab rather than returning the funds.
"We borrowed this $700,000... because we did that test strip on Foxtrot, we got basically $54,000 dollars of free paper. So we didn't use the 700,000," the director said, adding the request is not for additional funding but to reallocate savings to repair 50 feet of county-owned pavement in front of hangars. Staff said two new leases are awaiting signatures that will use the new hangar area once rehabilitation is complete.
The board discussed timing and confirmed staff will raise the reallocation request at the county commission meeting tomorrow. Director noted using the saved money for nearby asphalt work would lower future mobilization costs and avoid a separate mobilization later this construction season.
