BACKGROUND:
Funding is available through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from the Airport Rescue Grant Program (ARGP).

Staff has indicated to the FAA the funds will be used to offset operating costs associated with the new General Aviation Terminal Building and Air Traffic Control Tower.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The grant money will be reimbursed to the City as expenses are incurred and there is no match requirement.
