FINANCIAL IMPACT The total cost of the project is $2,000,000 . Ten percent ( 10%) of the project, in the amount of $222,222, is the responsibility of Contra Costa County and will be paid out of the Airport Enterprise account utilizing a loan from the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Matching Loan Program. III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND On June 3, 1986, the Board of Supervisors authorized a pre- application in the amount of $7,020,000 to the Federal Aviation Administration for the grants for the new east county airport. This is a part of that project. Under this project, it is anticipated that we will acquire eight parcels amounting to approximately 424 acres which will complete the fee acquisition acreage for the airport. In addition, this will acquire conservation easements on additional 1,740 acres. It is anticipated that construction will begin on the new portion of the airport in the Spring of 1990 . In the interim, the County will operate the existing Contra Costa County-Byron Airport as it currently exists. We anticipate only minimal improvements to the existing facilities to maintain them in a safe manner until such time as the new portion of the airport is developed.
