The Federal Aviation Administration has agreed to fund 95% of the contract to determine how much of the main runway needs to be reconstructed.
The city has found flaws in the runway, and Public Works Director Brenda Herrman says it shouldn’t take long for the engineering firm to determine the scope of the project.The city will pay about $18,000 of the $369,000 contract.
Thursday night was Herrman’s last meeting a public works director. She will retire next Thursday after 15 years with the city.
