Summary

City engineers said FAA comments on the apron are nearly resolved and construction should start within months; Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPI) work is planned for summer and an AWOS grant application was filed on time after securing an easement.

City Engineer Glenn Davis updated the committee on three airport projects. He said the airport apron project is resolving minor FAA comments (including light-pole flashes) and should begin construction in the coming months. Davis said the PAPI installation has cleared tree issues and is scheduled for summer work, and that the Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) grant application met the May 1 deadline after staff secured a required easement.

Davis described the projects as long-awaited improvements that have taken multiple years to advance; the AWOS award is pending and, if funded, will enable design and installation for improved pilot weather reporting at the municipal airport.
