<br />further cracking; (3) repair airfield drainage issues by main runway; (4) delaminate and resurface the
<br />main runway: (5) overlay the pavement by the fuel farm; and (6) replace guidance sign panels; and,

<br />Administration Non-Primary Entitlement Funds for FY 2003 and FY 2004 in the amount of
<br />$300,000.00; and,
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, the total revised project cost is currently estimated at $985,215.00, with the City
<br />of Paris providing a local cash contribution estimated to be $98,521.50, and it is necessary for the City
<br />to submit a written request to reallocate funds for said project; and,
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that it is appropriate and in the best interest
<br />ofthe City to authorize the transfer of existing funds and the revision ofthe project scope for said grant
<br />and the subsequent implementation of said revised grant, if approved, upon receipt thereof;
<br />
