FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD,PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: SEPTEMBER 27, 1994
SUBJECT: ACCEPT FEDERAL GRANT AT BUCHANAN FIELD AIRPORT-
AIP 3-06-0050-10, IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,000,000
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or his designee, to Accept Federal Grant out of
the Airport Improvement Program in the amount of$1,000,000 (90%of the total project).
II. Financial Impact:
The local share of this project in the amount of$111,110 will be funded out of the Airport Enterprise Fund.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
On February 2, 1993, the Board of Supervisors approved a Preapplication for a Federal Grant in the
amount of$1,000,000 for various improvements at Buchanan Field Airport. The grant is currently being
finalized with the Federal Aviation Administration. This grant is for the purpose of purchasing a parcel of
land at the intersection of Marsh Drive and Solano Way between a parcel of land currently owned by the
airport and Highway 4. This parcel is owned by Caltrans and has recently become available and it is
appropriate for the airport to purchase it in order to maintain a high level of control over the use of this
land. This property is currently in the clear zone for Runway 19R. During an airport compliance inspection
by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), it was determined that Buchanan Field Airport does not
currently meet the FAA criteria for guide signs established by AC 150/5340-18C; therefore, we need to
upgrade our airport signage, as well as upgrade the electrical service to the vault. This grant also includes
acquiring an interactive training system for specialized airport training activities.
