No real update regarding the taxi lane construction project. No real update on the beacon replacement either. Once they have a final update from the contractor, they will set up a pre-construction meeting. They opened bids for the runway lighting replacement; they received four bids with an apparent low bidder. They will look at the bids submitted and will provide a recommendation to the City and the Commission. The bids came in within the ODOT grant amount. Taxiway shift financial plan draft has is available for the city to review sometime this week. Regarding the infrastructure bill, there was a meeting between Michal Baker International, the Chairman of the airport commission, and the City to discuss eligible projects to be included in the updated CIP. There are two projects. The first includes FBO improvements that will be around $120,000.00 and include the improvements to the public spaces in the FBO and the Commission room and restroom. The second one was the additional T hanger including a new pad, building, and possibly a taxiway, around $600,000.00. This year, they will carry over the $159,000.00 from this year, do FBO improvements next year, and keep carrying over money until 2026 when there may be enough money for the new T- hangar. This is a proposal, but has not been approved. The due date is March 11th and we will discuss any issues brought up during the review at a later time. Yamini requested that the Airport Commission vote to accept four authorizations: 1. Request authorization to submit runway lighting bid tab and recommendation of ward to most responsive and apparent low bidder to ODOT 2. Review and approve submission of updated 5-year CIP to FAA 3.
