<br />CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS <br />CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REQUEST <br /> <br />. Action 0 Discussion <br />o Refer to: <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: I August 27, 2007 <br />o Information <br /> <br />SUBMITTED BY: <br />Lisa A. Wright, Director of Community Development <br /> <br />DESCRIPTION: <br /> <br />A resolution releasing Federal Aviation Administration non-primary entitlement funds for <br />FY 2003 and FY 2004 in the amount of $300,000.00, requesting replacement funding <br />to make repairs to existing runways, taxiways, apron, and drainage, and reallocating the <br />previously approved local cash match to the new proposed project. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND INFORMATION: <br /> <br />The City Council previously approved funding for the construction of a new T <br />hangar and associated pavement at Cox Field Airport in the amount of $622,223. 00, with <br />a local cash match of $105,556.00. Due to rising costs associated with pavement, in <br />July 2006, estimates for the project rose to $776,033.00, thus increasing the City's cash <br />match by an additional $153,810.00. After several meetings with KSA Engineers and <br />representatives from TxDOT Aviation, it was determined that the current funds could be <br />put to better immediate use by instead addressing several airfield maintenance issues. <br />In November 2006, the City officially advised TxDOT Aviation that it did not have <br />adequate funding to complete the T hangar project; therefore, we requested that the <br />funds be reallocated for runway pavement repairs, airfield striping, and drainage <br />pavement issues. TxDOT met with the City in June 2007 regarding proposed <br />improvements and has now officially requested that the City transfer its previously <br />allocated funds back to TxDOT in order that they may be applied to other projects. <br />The cash match previously approved for the T hangar project can now be reduced <br />because the match ratio for airfield improvements is lower than that for construction of <br />new facilities. The proposed airfield issues for which the funding is requested to be <br />reallocated include: (1) reconstruction of taxiway; (2) repair existing apron drainage; (3) <br />repair airfield drainage issues by main runway; (4) main runway delamination: (5) fuel <br />farm pavement overlay; and (6) replacement of guidance sign panels. <br /> <br />FISCAL AUTHORITY: <br /> <br />BUDGETED: YES Account #:010915-61-98 <br />GRANT: Account #: <br />BOND I C 0 Account #: <br />Other: See attached for recommended funding <br /> <br />LEGAL REVIEW: <br /> <br />MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />L <br />
