AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND RATIFYING A FEDERAL AVIATION
ADMINISTRATION (FAA) GRANT AGREEMENT PROJECT NO. 3-08-0046-32 FOR
FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $657,000 FOR THE ACQUISITION OF AN AIRCRAFT
RESCUE AND FIRE FIGHTING (ARFF) VEHICLE AND AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT, AND

ISSUE
Should City Council accept a grant from the FAA to purchase an Aircraft Rescue and Fire
Fighting (ARFF) vehicle, and budget and appropriate funds for this project?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
This grant will fund 95% of the purchase of a new Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF)
vehicle. 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 $657,000. The State grant was for $26,316; however, since the federal
grant came in lower than expected, the State's 2.5% is now $17,289. The City’s matching funds
in the amount of $17,289 will be transferred from the 715 Fund-Customer Deposits to Capital
Project AP1303-ARFF Truck.
