City staff presented two grant agreements for the airport apron expansion project: an AIP grant for about $4,403,000 and a state airport infrastructure grant for $478,545. Michelle explained that those two grants together would supply approximately 95% of the project funding, with the state providing around 2.5% and the city covering a small local share.
Michelle provided the city's estimated cost line: "the city's cost for this project is $128,461.71," and noted the FAA requires electronic signature for its grant agreements. Council authorized acceptance of the grants and directed appropriate staff to sign all necessary documents.
Staff said further state grant agreements will follow and that the project includes apron and terminal work; the council approved the authorization by motion and voice vote.
