Log

2026-10-26 - City Council

• Passed on the consent agenda: order 26-298, a $12,931,640 contract with Sheridan Corporation for the TSA checkpoint expansion.

2026-10-19 - Finance Committee

• Recommended to the Council. Sheridan Corporation was the low, qualified bidder. Funding is from passenger facility charges on a pay-as-you-go basis, repaid over a few years, plus budgeted airport funds; no increase in ticket charges, since the maximum is already collected. A councillor noted the airport is an enterprise fund and the cost does not hit the tax bill.

2026-09-09 - Business and Economic Development Committee

• Part of the airport report.

2026-10-26 - City Council
