New Business…

  • . Since we did not receive a state awarded grant towards the runway repair asphalt overlay, a surface repair of the continued degradation is needed. Clair & a local contractor did a whole runway inspection. The runway surface condition is degraded too much for crack sealing to be of value & since an overlay project time is unknown because state help would be needed to help with the cost, the contractor determined that concrete repair followed by crack/joint sealing would be best done now because of the rapid deterioration of panel seams and joints. This type of repair and maintenance would go a long way to keep the runway serviceable and safe till an overlay can be done. The contractor could do the concrete repair next spring when weather warms again, let cure for a month and then fallow up with joint and crack sealing. .. he estimated a cost of around fifty thousand. After Clair’s report the commission discussed it and determined that this repair/maintenance of the runway should be done and placed in the upcoming budget.
  • . The new budget discussion followed … some changes and modifications along with C.I.P. & 5-year planning were incorporated & reworked to the best of our knowledge.
  • . During the open discussion time we went out to inspect the airport land taken for constructing a retention pond for storm water sized for a hundred year flood. A possible area for a future solar panel array was looked at. A time of comments & discussion followed
  • . Next meeting date … November 8, 2023
