Report on Airport Construction Projects
Travis McLain : We had a problem develop with the PAPI on RW 18. We kept having an electrical
problem with the circuit board. The contractor did a meg check on the existing power cable that r uns
from the AWOS site to the PAPI site. It was marginal; one engineer looked at it and said it was OK and
another said maybe that’s not OK. We are going to have to replace that underground power cable. Again,
that will be a 90/10 grant with TxDOT and the FAA. Also the private T-Hangar project has started putting
steel up, so they may have some hangars by the spring.
