Council approves AWOS grant application to upgrade airport weather system
Summary
Ordinance No. 26-056 authorizes the Director of Public Service to seek FAA and Ohio DOT aviation grants for design services for an Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) at Wadsworth's airport; council suspended readings and adopted the ordinance unanimously.
Wadsworth City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 26-056 on April 21, 2026, authorizing the Director of Public Service to apply for and enter into grant agreements with the Federal Aviation Administration and the Ohio Department of Transportation Division of Aviation to fund design services for an Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) at the city airport. The ordinance was sponsored by Council Member Zach Berger; the council voted to suspend the three‑reading rule before adopting the measure.
The ordinance gives city staff explicit authority to pursue federal and state grant funding for AWOS design work; the minutes show the action was carried by roll call vote with no recorded opposition. Council did not record debate or amendments in the minutes. The adopted measure moves the airport project into the design/grant phase pending grant award and subsequent contracting.
