Watch for baggage system and taxiway rehabilitation bids
Why now: Council passed the ordinance 8-0 on second reading on August 11 (Enactment No. 033984), appropriating $7,711,443 in FAA Airport Grant No. 73 for baggage handling, Taxiway Echo, and West Apron design.
What to do: Track the airport's procurement postings for the Baggage Handling System Improvements and Taxiway Echo Rehabilitation work, since funding is now appropriated and solicitations can follow. Design-only funding for the West Apron means that work is a design services opportunity, not construction.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask how the airport grant's local match was calculated
Why now: The ordinance moved through consent agenda on both readings (July 28 and August 11, 8-0) with no itemized split, while it transfers $384,044.40 from the Airport Operating Fund and raises the FY 2026 capital budget by $8,095,487.40.
What to do: Request the airport's grant agreement and cost estimates to confirm how the $384,044.40 local match and the three project allocations were derived. The record doesn't say how the $7,711,443 is split among baggage, taxiway, and apron design, or whether the match covers only these costs.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
