The City accepted a State grant on March 25, 2013 under Resolution No. 12624 to fund a portion of the project and the City’s obligation will be 2.5%. FINANCIAL IMPACT The FAA has requested that the grant be signed and returned to them by September 13, 2013. A separate Ordinance is going before Council to budget the funds into Capital Project AP1302- Taxiway A Rehab. The total project is estimated at $5,263,157. The FAA grant is for $5,000,000. The State grant is for $78,947 which was suppose to be 2.5% of the project. However, the federal grant came in higher than expected, so additional funds will be requested. The City’s obligation will be $131,579 which will come from the 411 Fund and the 714 Fund- Customer Deposits.
