Active Opportunity

Justin Schutmaat Builders had a petition for approval/certificate of acceptability for the Orbital Shower Cabinet Hatch R3. The agenda shows the request was scheduled for October 14, 2026, and no decision was recorded there. This is a product certification signal that may matter to the manufacturer or builder if the item needs state acceptance before wider use.

Budget Planning

The Smithville Crawford Municipal Airport Fund budget for FY 2026-2027 included an 'AUTOMATED WEATHERING OPERATING SYSTEM' capital line. The airport budget adopted on Oct. 13, 2026 placed this equipment purchase inside a $500,000 capital program alongside the parallel taxiway project, but the scanned amount on this line was not fully reliable. The budget still gives a concrete signal that airport weather equipment is planned and funded within the current fiscal year. The next decision point would be specification, vendor selection, and installation approach.
