�- c COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO - August 29, 2006 DEPARTMENT: Airport AGENDA ITEM: Resolution ratifying the acceptance of a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration in the amount of $185,000 for an Airport Master Plan Update Study at Ernest A. Love Field. Approved By: Date: Department Head: Rick Severson, Airport Manager 08/16/06 Finance Director: /� City Manager: '� /� �f`' This is a request to ratify the acceptance of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant offer for the airport master plan update which is budgeted for this fiscal year. The FAA prepared the grant documents on August 10, 2006 and we received them on August 15, 2006 with an FAA requirement that our acceptance must be dated not later than August 23, 2006. Due to the FAA time-line the documents have been executed and returned to the FAA to insure we receive the funding this year. The current Airport Master Plan was approved in 1998. The FAA recommends updating the plan periodically to insure the document best reflects the needs for aviation facilities and services in the community. A current airport master plan is a requirement to qualify for both Federal and State airport improvement grants. A consultant will be selected to conduct the update and produce the plan. There will be considerable community involvement through out the 6 month process. The total estimated project cost is $194,737. The FAA grant in the amount of $185,000 will fund up to 95% of the allowable project cost. It will be matched by a State grant (2.5%) in the amount of $4,868 and require a 2.5% city match of $4,868. The State grant offer will follow acceptance of this FAA grant. „P. Recommended Action: MOVE to adopt Resolution No. 3771. 1
