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 North Carolina Department of Transportation’s Division of Aviation (NCDOT DOA) awarded $2,972,939 to the City for Airport Improvements and Debt Service. Fayetteville Regional Airport has no debt service.
Council is asked to adopt Capital Project Ordinance (CPO) 2023-10 and Capital Project Ordinance Amendment (CPOA) 2023-14 to appropriate the grant funds for four airport projects.
Capital Project Ordinance (CPO) 2023-10 appropriates $450,000 for security system upgrade ($150,000), roof replacement at Fire Training Facility ($100,000), and a digital display wall ($200,000). Capital Project Ordinance Amendment 2023-14 appropriates $2,522,939 for General Aviation Hangar Development project.
Background:
City Council previously approved $400,000 for design and construction for the General Aviation Hangar project. CPOA 2023-14 appropriates an additional $2,522,939, bringing the total project budget to $2,922,939.
CPO 2023-10 will appropriate $450,000 for roof replacement at the Firefighting Training Facility, installation of new security cameras in parking lots, and the installation of a digital display wall.
The airport intends to use its full $2,972,939 allocation in Fiscal Years 2023-2024.
Issues/Analysis:
None
Budget Impact:
There is no impact to the General Fund as the NCDOT DOA Grant requires no local match.
Options:
1. Adopt Capital Project Ordinance 2023-10 and Capital Project Ordinance Amendment 2023-14.
2. Do not adopt Capital Project Ordinance 2023-10 and Capital Project Amendment 2023-14 and provide further direction to staff.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends Council move to adopt Capital Project Ordinance 2023-10 and Capital Project Ordinance Amendment 2023-14 as presented.
