The approximate cost for materials, based on a quotation received earlier this year is listed below. Labor is not included in this estimate, and depending on the labor amount, City staff could potentially install the lights. Cobra head — parking lot $ 299 Interior lights — hangars $1,008 250 HPS fixtures — parking lot $1,495 Tax $ 193 Total $2,995 b) Water system upgrade. A new pressure tank w/ VFD was installed earlier and is working properly. This install will save us money over time. c) Other items: Ag lease — land on west side of runway is up for lease in 2012.
