TITLE
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND RATIFYING A FEDERAL AVIATION
ADMINISTRATION (FAA) GRANT AGREEMENT PROJECT NO. 3-08-0046-33 FOR
FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,000,000 TO REHABILITATE TAXIWAYS A AND A9,
AND BUDGETING AND APPROPRIATING $5,210,526 TO CAPITAL PROJECT NO.
AP1302-TAXIWAY A REHAB
ISSUE
Should City Council accept a grant from the FAA to rehabilitate Taxiways A and A9, and budget
and appropriate funds for this project?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
This grant will fund 95% of the project to rehabilitate and realign Taxiway A and to reconstruct
and realign Taxiway A9. 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%. Based upon
the date of the FAA award and the need to accept this grant within a very short period of time, a
Resolution has been prepared for Council to accept the award and approve the grant agreement.
This Ordinance ratifies that action in order to comply with §3-8 of the Charter. This Ordinance
also appropriates the grant funding for the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The FAA grant is for $5,000,000. The State grant is for $78,947, which initially was to be 2.5%
of the project. However, the federal grant came in higher than expected, so additional funds will
be requested from the State. The City’s obligation will be $131,579. The City’s matching funds
in the amount of $90,531 will be transferred from the 411 Fund and funds in the amount of
$41,048 will be transferred from the 715 Fund-Customer Deposits to Capital Project AP1302-
Taxiway A Rehab.
