Granby Airport manager authorized to buy $60,000 rotary snowblower, county to receive 80% state reimbursement
Summary
Board authorized airport manager Josh Schroeder to purchase a rotary snowblower for $60,000 from the Denver International Airport surplus sale; the state will reimburse 80% (about $48,000), leaving the county with about $12,000 net against a $20,000 budgeted amount.
Josh Schroeder, airport manager, asked the county to approve purchasing a rotary snowblower from Denver International Airport's surplus sale to improve snow removal at Granby Airport. Schroeder said the $60,000 purchase price is set (not auctioned), and that the state would reimburse 80% of the cost, reducing the county's net outlay to roughly $12,000 — below the $20,000 the county budgeted for the year.
Commissioners approved the purchase and authorized Schroeder to sign any necessary sale documents. Schroeder said the rotary plow will reduce plow time and lower wear on runway lighting. "The purchase price of the plow is initially $60,000... the state will reimburse the County for 80% of the purchase," he said during the presentation.
