As a <br />result of that visit, TxDOT listed numerous items the City needed to remedy over the next several years <br />to maintain an adequate level of safety at the airport. <br />Projects include preparing a new airport master plan, performing runway and taxiway overlays and <br />markings, pavement repairs, drainage repairs, airfield lighting, and sign replacements, and crack sealing <br />runways, taxiways, and aprons. The projected cost is $4,911,088, with a 10% cash match of $491,109 to <br />be provided by the City of Paris. Work will take place over the next four fiscal years, so this expense <br />can be spread out over that period. No increase in the budget is requested for this; however, the current <br />amount in Department 61 for this project will need to remain in place until all projects have been <br />completed. <br />BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />EXHIBITS: <br />Resolution, airport inspection report, TxDOT cost projections <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />❑ Financial Report ❑ Minute Order <br />Expense <br />$457,253.00 <br />❑ Department Report Z Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />$118 <br />000.00 <br />, <br />❑ Presentation ❑ Ordinance <br />y'I'D Actual <br />$ <br />❑ P <br />bli <br />H <br />i <br />u <br />ear <br />c <br />ng ❑ Other <br />Acct.
