Memo
To: Airport Commission
From: Mary Bondurant —Airport Manager, Interim
Date: October 1. 2025
Subject: Discussion/Recommendation — Revised Fiscal Years 2026-2030
Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP)
Each year the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) asks Sponsors to review their
ACIP and identify and submit any changes by October 1, 2025.
The FAA will make final adjustments to the planned ACIP program and let the Sponsor
know which projects the FAA anticipates being able to support. This communication will
not represent a commitment of funds but should give the Sponsor an idea of which
projects have a reasonable likelihood of being supported, contingent on factors such as
(but not limited to) availability of funds, favorable environmental findings, and a timely
grant application that is acceptable to the FAA.
This is the final opportunity to adjust the ACIP program without need for special
justifications. Based on recent discussions, there is one recommended change to the
FY26 program; pushing back the Rehabilitate TW A/B/C/D/E/K/UM project to FY27
which in turn slides the following projects a year. It is going to take a perfect
construction season for both the runway rehab and the apron maintenance projects to
be completed on time; especially with the time-consuming grooving which pushes the
runway painting late into the season. Should this not be completed, it would carry-over
to the 2027 construction season. In addition, this allows some construction reprieve
and additional time to discuss the taxiway interlink configurations and find a solution to
the two published hotspots at taxiway Echo and the small taxiway area at the south end
of taxiway Alpha. There are no impacts to the funding allocations.
Does Commission recommend Council approved the Airports FY26-FY30 ACIP?
