BACKGROUND An application for the grant was approved by City Council on April 10, 2000 under Resolution No. 8977. This project will consist of the installation of Runway Distance Remaining signs on Runways 8L/26R and 17/35; Precision Approach Path Indicators on Runways 8L and 35; and Runway End Identifier Lights on Runway 35. The project is necessary to accommodate the requirements of FAR Part 139 and will increase the safety of aircraft landing on these runways. The initial application also included the construction of an electrical equipment building. The current building was built in 1958 and does not meet the current National Electrical Code. Due to federal funding issues, this portion of the project will be funded under a second grant. The second grant is projected to be issued by the FAA before the end of this year. The amount of that grant is expected to be $219,736 with the local match being $24,415.11. FINANCIAL IMPACT The grant amount is for $666,528. The local match is $74,058.67. Funding for the project shall be paid from account 410-0000-555.94-11.
