C. Taxiway Rehabilitation Project Update – Greg Reince from Century West Engineering
provided an update. Change of scope – will do full reconstruct on most of the taxiway due to
geo tech results of the soil. Also, shifting the taxiway centerline to correct an existing 13’ jog to
the east. This will align the whole taxiway parallel to the runway. Bid opening is scheduled for
March 2022. Submit for FAA grant, then start construction around August of 2022 after grnat
award. Wolske questioned effect of centerline shift of future hangars and/or width of runway.
