The Board approved acceptance of two federal airport grants totaling $1,612,370 to support Pinal County airport projects. The larger award—FAA Airport Improvement Program grant 3-04-0055-008-2026—for $1,430,250 will reimburse the county for the purchase of roughly 80 acres for Pinal Airpark; the smaller Airport Infrastructure Grant 3-04-0080-011-2026 for $182,120 will fund design of the San Manuel Taxiway A4 relocation.
Both acceptances require amendments to the FY 26/27 budget and transfers of reserve appropriations from Fund 213 (Grants/Project Contingency) to Fund 179 (Airports) to increase revenues and expenditures; the agenda notes no impact to the General Fund. Items were presented by James Petty and Joe Ortiz and recorded as approved.
