RESOLUTION ACCEPTING AMENDMENT NUMBER 1 TO GRANT OFFER FROM FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (B)
recommendation
The City Commission adopt the proposed resolution.
explanation
On September 23, 2002, the City Commission and Gainesville-Alachua County Regional Airport Authority accepted FAA Grant Agreement in the amount of $675,000. The grant is for (A) runway 10-28 Pavement Rehabilitation and Storm Water Drainage Improvement Study, (B) Environmental Assessment for Runway 6-24 Extension, and (C) Airport Master Plan Update. Subsequently, the FAA drafted Amendment Number 1 to the Grant Agreement. This amendment revises the grant description to more accurately describe the first phase of a two-phase work effort to prepare an environmental assessment for the extension of Runway 6-24.
For the purpose of receiving Federal Grant funds, the FAA requires that the City of Gainesville and the Gainesville-Alachua County Regional Airport Authority both approve the Offer. The Gainesville-Alachua County Regional Airport Authority approved Amendment Number 1 on July 17, 2003, and has requested that the City of Gainesville also approve said Amendment.
