Commissioners authorize $2.15 million plan to extend Miami County Airport runway
Summary
The board unanimously authorized project 2603AP707 to extend Runway 21 to roughly 4,000 feet and approved a related environmental-review contract; staff said federal programs could cover about 90% of the estimated $2,150,000 cost, leaving an approximate local share of $215,000.
Miami County commissioners unanimously authorized a plan to extend Runway 21 at Miami County Airport to about 4,000 feet and approved an associated environmental review agreement.
Madeler, the project manager, told the commission the work would add about 602 feet to the existing runway, relocate and upgrade runway lighting to FAA standards, construct a turnaround and remove obstructions from approach and departure paths. "This project is a part of a federal reimbursement up to 90% for the entirety of the project," Madeler said, and staff presented a total project budget of about $2,150,000 with an estimated local share near $215,000. Commissioners were told additional federal airport-improvement and CDS funds would supply most construction dollars and that the county could pursue a Kansas Build grant to reduce local costs further.
The board also authorized an environmental-review agreement with Olsen Incorporated, a not-to-exceed contract of $16,400. Madeler said the review will develop preliminary engineering sketches, compile required federal and state permits and support compliance steps needed for the federal funding. A motion to authorize project 2603AP707 was moved by Commissioner Brett and seconded by Commissioner Diederger and carried unanimously.
