AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action on a Resolution Approving a Grant Funding Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation Accepting State Routine Airport Maintenance Program (R.A.M.P.) Agreement Grant Funds for Certain Improvements to the Addison Airport; Authorizing Local Funding in the Amount of $50,000; and, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute All Contracts and Agreements Necessary to Accept the Grant Funding.

BACKGROUND:

The Town of Addison annually receives a Routine Airport Maintenance Program (RAMP) grant administered by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) - Aviation Division. The grant funds can be used for maintenance and smaller capital improvement projects on the airport such as perimeter fencing, pavement repairs, pavement markings, construction of airport entrance roads, airfield lighting maintenance, and similar items.

The grant is a 50/50 matching grant, with $50,000 TxDOT Funds and $50,000 Town of Addison Airport funds. Grant funds are issued as a reimbursement of eligible expenses up to $100,000 total. The airport typically expends significantly more than $100,000 annually on maintenance projects eligible for reimbursement through this grant program and will do so again in Fiscal Year 2023. The Town's matching funds are budgeted and available in the Airport Fund.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
