Title
Acceptance of US Department of Transportation FAA - AIP Grant #3-12-0028-024-2008 in the amount of $1,250,950 (B)

This item seeks City of Gainesville acceptance of a 2008 US Department of Transportation FAA - AIP Grant to the Gainesville Regional Airport in the amount of $ 1,250,950 for Phase 2B renovation and rehabilitation of a portion of the passenger terminal building (construction only) at the Gainesville Regional Airport.

Explanation
The US Department of Transportation will make a grant offer to the Gainesville Regional Airport for Phase 2B renovation and rehabilitation of a portion of the passenger terminal building (construction only) at the Gainesville Regional Airport.

This Grant Offer will consist of fiscal year 2008 discretionary funds from the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and is currently $1,250,950.

Because the City of Gainesville retains title to the land upon which Gainesville Regional Airport operates, the City of Gainesville, in addition to the Gainesville Alachua County Regional Airport Authority (GACRAA), must formally accept all federal grant offers. GACRAA did approve a Resolution accepting the $1,250,950 grant at its regularly scheduled meeting on May 22, 2008.

The City Attorney's Office has noted that there are concerns regarding the fact that the Gumroot Swamp Park property continues to be listed upon the FAA approved Airport Layout Map and advises that this property should not be subject to FAA jurisdiction and control. City staff has suggested to Airport staff that the subject property should be removed from the Airport Layout Map in order to avoid any future restriction on the use of the land by the FAA to the disadvantage of the City.

Fiscal Note
This US Department of Transportation FAA - AIP Grant is in the amount of $1,250,950 with proceeds for listed improvements to be received by the Gainesville Regional Airport.
