RECOMMENDATION Approval of this Resolution. BACKGROUND The application approved by City Council on June 10, 2013 under Resolution No. 12688 was requesting a $3,000,000 grant from the FAA to relocate and rehabilitate Taxiways A and A9 at the airport. The FAA has made a change to the scope of the project that has increased the cost by approximately $1,000,000. This application reflects that funding increase. The funds requested are for 95% of the project. The City’s matching funds will be for 2.5% of the project and the State has agreed to match the City’s funds. FINANCIAL IMPACT The total project is estimated at $4,210,526. The application for federal assistance is for $4,000,000. The State's and the City's match will be $105,263 each. Matching funds are available in the Airport Development fund (411 fund) and the Customer Deposits Fund (715 fund).
