Ann Arbor Airport to Get New Fencing http://annarborchronicle.com/2013/02/19/ann-arbor-airport-to-get-new-fence/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ann-arbor-airport-to-get-new-fence http://annarborchronicle.com/2013/02/19/ann-arbor-airport-to-get-new-fence/#comments Wed, 20 Feb 2013 03:26:32 +0000 Chronicle Staff http://annarborchronicle.com/?p=106507 New fencing at the Ann Arbor municipal airport will be installed, as a result of two separate votes by the Ann Arbor city council at its Feb. 19, 2013 meeting. The first vote consisted of the grant approval, which totaled $157,895. Of that amount, $150,000 is federal money, $3,947 comes from the state of Michigan, and $3,948 comes from the city airport’s operating budget.

The fencing is meant to improve safety. According to the staff memo accompanying the council’s resolution, three incursions (someone getting in a restricted area of the airfield) took place in 2012. Before those three incursions, none had taken place since 2009.

The second vote was on a $32,000 contract with URS Corp. for engineering services related to the gate and fencing project. Funding for the contract is covered in the grant accepted by a vote of the council at the same meeting. The scope of the project includes installation of two new gate locations, the replacement of two existing gates, the upgrade of an existing gate location, upgrade of existing security fencing and the installation of new security fencing in the three hangar areas of the airport.

This brief was filed from the city council’s chambers on the second floor of city hall, located at 301 E. Huron. A more detailed report will follow: [link]
