explanation
The Gainesville-Alachua County Regional Airport Authority has accepted a Grant Offer from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for airport improvements through Hurricane Grant No. 12-0028-E1-2005, as more fully described in the application and Program Narrative, a copy of which is on file in the City Attorney's Office.
The Grant Offer provides for funding of repairs to the "Airport Access Road, Hangar Door, and Airline Terminal Roof," which repairs are necessitated by damage attributable to recent hurricanes. The Grant Offer will reimburse 100% of the allowable costs incurred in accomplishing the repairs.
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 Grant Offer. The Gainesville-Alachua County Regional Airport Authority approved the Grant Offer on November 18, 2004, and has requested that the City of Gainesville also approve said Grant Offer.
