Committee packet requests FAA grant agreement for AWOS design at Wadsworth Municipal Airport
Summary
Materials request an ordinance authorizing the Director of Public Service to enter into a grant agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration for design services for an Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) at Wadsworth Municipal Airport; an emergency clause consideration is requested.
The Public Ways Committee agenda for April 13, 2026 includes an item asking council to authorize a grant agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration for design services for an Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) at Wadsworth Municipal Airport. The agenda explicitly requests placement of the ordinance on council's agenda and consideration of an emergency clause.
The AWOS item appears alongside other airport updates in the packet (apron project and PAPI status). The packet does not include funding totals in the supplied segments; the requested ordinance would allow the Director of Public Service to enter into a grant agreement with the FAA for AWOS design services if council approves placement and acceptance of the grant.
Next steps: the item will be placed on council’s agenda as a legislative request; if council approves the grant agreement, staff would proceed with FAA design services procurement steps required by the grant terms.
