Board considers student capstone to diagnose airport PAPI electrical issue
Summary
Staff outlined two capstone sponsorship tiers — $8,000 and $10,000 'Capstone Plus' — and recommended using a student team to troubleshoot the PAPI electrical problem; members flagged follow‑up on expectations and possible material costs.
Staff described a university capstone sponsorship opportunity and suggested assigning students to diagnose the airport's PAPI electrical problem. "The semester begins August 24, and the students get assigned their projects that week," Staff member (S2) said while laying out sponsorship tiers and benefits.
The staff presentation listed two sponsor tiers: an $8,000 sponsor and a $10,000 'Capstone Plus' option that offers additional support and promotional placement. Staff warned that student projects might produce concepts rather than finished hardware and that the airport could still need to buy circuit boards or transformers — local contractor pricing of about $7,000 was cited as a possible supplemental expense.
Members described the partnership as a low‑cost way to advance troubleshooting work but asked staff to clarify whether the sponsorship fees include any hardware purchases or if the airport would be responsible for extra materials.
