Airport pay application revised; city withholds retainage until punch list complete; IDNR forestry grant approved
Summary
A McClure representative presented a revised airport pay application and reported about $137,000 in retainage will remain until the fuel farm is operational; the council also approved an IDNR forestry grant agreement.
A McClure representative told council that revised pay application No. 2 for the airport project had been submitted but that punch‑list items remain; staff are withholding 15% of the fuel‑farm cost (about $137,000) until the fuel farm is operational and able to pump jet fuel. The representative described electrical and breaker issues that the contractor has addressed but noted intermittent breaker tripping remained under observation.
Council then moved to approve a grant agreement with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for a forestry grant; the motion passed on roll call. Staff said the airport contractor will continue to address the punch list and the retained funds will remain until the airport confirms full operational capability.
