RECOMMENDATION Approval of this Resolution. On February 21, 2008, CDOT- Division of Aeronautics notified us that due to an audit of the fuel sales tax, funds were available for a second grant process for 2008. However, in order to take advantage of this second grant process, applications had to be submitted by March 14, 2008. As we were unable to take this to City Council prior to the submittal date, the application was submitted with the approval of the City Manager. The application is for the purchase of a loader (estimated cost $160,000), a paint machine (estimated cost $25,000), paint to install surface painted hold short markings along Runway 8R- 26L as recommended by the FAA Runway Safety Action Team (estimated cost $10,000), and rehabilitation of 60,000 square feet of ramp north/northwest of Steel City Aviation (estimated cost $75,000). FINANCIAL IMPACT The total estimated cost of all items is $270,000. The grant request is for $216,000 (80 %) and the City's matching funds will be $54,000 (20 %). In years past, monies received from the aviation fuel tax were kept in the Customer Deposits Fund and must be used for aviation purposes. There are sufficient funds available on deposit to cover the City's matching funds for this grant application.
