Relationship To Strategic Plan:
Goal IV: Desirable Place to Live, Work and Recreate
4.1) To maintain public transportation investments with high quality transit and airport services
Executive Summary:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded grant 3-37-0021-048-2020 (Airport Improvement Project 48) for the Part II Airline Terminal Improvement project.
Capital Project Ordinance Amendment (CPOA) 2022-31 will appropriate $2,742,407 of federal grant funds from the FAA for the Part II Airline Terminal Improvement project. The CPOA will also appropriate $200,000 of Customer Facility Charges (CFC) for non-eligible FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) costs.
Background:
City Council previously appropriated $33,470,360 to fund Part II of the Airport’s terminal renovation project.
On June 22, 2020, Council authorized the Mayor to accept and execute the FAA’s discretionary grant offer #3-37-0021-048-2020. The additional grant appropriation will allow the Airport to complete future terminal improvements. The increased appropriation of $200,000 of CFC funding will be used for rental car related improvement costs that are not eligible for FAA funding.
The revised project budget will be $36,412,767 with this appropriation.
Issues/Analysis:
None
Budget Impact:
There is no impact to the General Fund as the project appropriation is funded by a dedicated Airport funding source of restricted Customer Facility Charges and Federal Aviation Administration grant funds.
Options:
1. Adopt Capital Project Ordinance Amendment 2022-31 as presented.
2. Do not adopt Capital Project Ordinance Amendment 2022-31 and provide further direction to staff.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that Council move to adopt Capital Project Ordinance Amendment 2022-31 as presented.
