# 9/9/2026 HCAA Board Meeting

The Hamilton County Airport Authority (HCAA) Board held a meeting on September 9, 2026, focusing heavily on airport infrastructure and maintenance projects. Key procurement discussions included the ongoing issues with the glide slope installation, where faulty cabling installed by contractor DBT requires replacement and reinspection by the FAA. The board discussed potential legal actions and contract renewal considerations with DBT, as well as alternative contractor options. Updates were provided on the Executive Hangar project nearing completion and the Sheridan Airport lighting system, which requires urgent wiring repairs or a full replacement. The board also reviewed budgetary concerns, including requests for additional appropriations from airport funds to cover low repair budgets and to purchase a used large plow truck from Bloomington Airport through an interlocal agreement. Additionally, the board discussed INDOT pavement maintenance grants for runway and taxiway repairs, with plans for mill and overlay projects to improve runway conditions over the next two years. The board approved motions to proceed with funding requests and contract document signings related to these projects. Overall, the meeting emphasized capital improvement projects, vendor contract management, and budget allocations critical to airport operations and infrastructure maintenance.
