The Madison City Commission reviewed on Monday the minutes of the Oct. 18 airport board meeting that contained a recommendation for the city to stop dumping excess snow onto airport property.
During winter months, city snow removal crews have picked up snow from Madison's streets and moved it by dump truck to open areas at the airport where the snow is unloaded.
Municipal airport officials were notified by the Federal Aviation Administration that the city's ability to obtain federal grants would be jeopardized if Madison continued to dump snow onto airport land. The federal government could refuse to provide grant money for future projects at Madison Municipal Airport.
The federal government has typically provided 95 percent of the funding for major construction and maintenance projects at the airport.
The city commissioners also approved the final acceptance agreement for this summer's airport hangar taxiway project in which D&G Concrete Construction installed new concrete taxiways.
The final cost of the taxiway project was about $544,000.
