ASSEMBLY AGENDA/MANAGER'S REPORT
THE CITY AND BOROUGH OF JUNEAU, ALASKA

Ordinance 2013-11(AM) An Ordinance Appropriating To The Manager The Sum Of $2,163,096 As Additional Funding For The Juneau International Airport Runway Safety Area Capital Improvement Project, Grant Funding Provided By The Federal Aviation Administration And The Alaska Department Of Transportation And Local Funding Provided By The Juneau International Airport

MANAGER'S REPORT:

This ordinance would appropriate $2,163,096 for the Runway Safety Area capital project. 

Funding is provided as follows:
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant:                                   $2,037,219
Alaska Department of Transportation (ADOT) matching grant:              $61,039
Juneau International Airport (JNU) match:                                               $64,838

The FAA funds up to 95% of the project, with the remainder being split between ADOT and Juneau International Airport. This appropriation results from increases to two current FAA grants, two ADOT matching grants, and the local match requirements.  If the grant funds are not received, this ordinance will be de-appropriated. 

The Juneau International Airport match represents the value of fill material provided to the Federal Aviation Administration for this project.

The Airport Board reviewed this action at its February 12, 2014 meeting and recommended forwarding to the full Assembly for approval. 

RECOMMENDATION:

I recommend this ordinance be introduced and set for public hearing at the next regular Assembly meeting.
