EMERGENCY RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT A GRANT FROM THE FEDERAl
TRANSPORTATION ADMINISTRATION FOR AlP 27 - MOTION TO APPROVE -
STAFF PERSON: JIM ELWOOD, AIRPORT DIRECTOR
Jim Elwood, Airport Director, said he is very pleased to bring forward a FAA grant,
which is the largest grant that has ever been offered, to the airport, through the FAA at
almost six-million dollars. He thanked the airport staff for their efforts on working this
matter. He explained that the grant needs to be ratified and back to the FAA so they
called a special meeting to be able to meet that timeframe. He said the project is the
rehabilitation of a piece of general aviation taxiway, the construction of the new taxiway,
which has been talked about for a number of years. Additionally, the grant allows
construction of a high-speed taxiway exit off the runway, which will help clear the
runway quicker than a 90-degree turn. He explained that this grant requires a 10
percent local match, and a grant has been received from the state to help offset this
amount.
Commissioner Roy moved approval of the Resolution and schedule for a
confirmatory public hearing on September 24, 2003. Commissioner Farris
seconded the motion.
After a discussion ensued with respect to some of the financial issues associated with
the grant,

to discuss the Buttermilk Metro Water District application, Droste Litigation and
