The court approved two airport maintenance contracts that qualify for TXDOT 90/10 reimbursement. The judge read staff recommendations: Double J Asphalt Sealant Specialist was selected for runway work at Ingleside Regional Airport ($46,415) and for taxiway/ramp resurfacing at Sinton Airport ($68,987). The work is categorized as reimbursable construction items under TXDOT programs.
The court approved both motions by voice vote. County staff noted the projects are part of regular airport maintenance, and commissioners asked clarifying questions about ramp and resurfacing details before the votes.
Why it matters: Maintaining runway and taxiway surfaces is required for safe airport operations and for preserving eligibility for state reimbursements; these projects are routine but essential to keep county airports operational.
