11 - Non-Primary Entitlement Funding (NPE)Item No. 11
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council
Grayson Path, City Manager
FROM: Paul Strahan, Airport Manager/FBO Operator
SUBJECT: Non -Primary Entitlement Funding (NPE)
DATE: March 28, 2022
BACKGROUND: The FAA provides $150,000 per year to General Aviation airports to fund
eligible airport projects. These funds come with an expiration date of four years, meaning that if
an airport does not successfully submit plans for a project and receive approval by TXDOT within
the period of four years, the funds are no longer available and revert to the FAA. The airport
received $150,000 from the FAA in 2017, failed to submit any plans for eligible projects within
the four-year period, and lost the ability to use these funds. The last opportunity for the airport to
submit a proposed plan for a project for these 2017 funds was January 2020. There is no appeal
process or time extension program available.
NPE funds are not obligated to stay in Texas, and without the NPE Transfer paperwork, the funds
will revert to the FAA for national use. The transfer of NPE funds to TXDOT allows these funds
to remain in Texas. This is common practice for airports that do not utilize these funds.
It shall be the responsibility of the newly created position of Airport Manager to ensure these
annual monies are used to fund improvement projects at the airport. [The funds for the next 4
years are already associated with the runway project.]
STATUS OF ISSUE: 2017 NPE funds expiring July 1, 2022.
BUDGET: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the transfer of NPE funds to TXDOT, and authorize the Mayor
to sign all necessary documents.
