SUBJECT: Revised Final Preapplication for Federal Grant in the Amount of
$849 ,960 for Improvements at Buchanan Field Airport (Local
Share in the Amount of $94,440)
The Public Works Director recommends that the Board of
Supervisors authorize the Public Works Director or his designee to apply
for a Federal Grant out of the Airport Improvement Program in the amount
of $849 ,960 (90% of total project cost) . The remaining local share
amount of $94,440 will be funded out of the Airport Enterprise Fund. The
attached application briefly describes the scope of the proposed project
for certain improvements at Buchanan Field Airport.
The Airport Improvement Project (AIP) is a user funded trust
fund program for airport development. For Federal funding purposes ,
Buchanan Field is considered to be a commercial service airport and as
such is in competition with other airports in this category for Federal
funds. There is no assurance that we will receive full funding for the
project. The preapplication does not commit the County to any obligation.
The scope of the project can be changed at our option any time up to the
tentative grant offering from the Federal government. At this time we do
not expect the project to begin until after the start of the new County
fiscal year .
The FAA was unable to fund the full request which was approved
by the Board on June 19, 1984 ,. during this Federal fiscal year. Therefore,
this preapplication supercedes and cancels the preapplication previously
approved.
IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that the recommendation of the
Public Works Director is APPROVED.
I hereby certify that this Is a true and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the
Board of Supervisors on the date shown.
