U/d/ s y TO: Board of County Commissioners July 12, 1999 Weld County FROM: Michael A. Reisman Airport Manager RE: Acceptance Of FAA Grant Offer As a result of the split of FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funding for 1999, the 2.6 million dollar AIP grant received earlier this year represented only a portion of the funding originally expected. The FAA has informed the Greeley-Weld County Airport Authority that an additional grant offer will be made in the next two weeks, in an estimated amount of 3.224 million dollars. This amount will allow the airport to complete the runway portion of the expansion project, and make it operational before the end of the calendar year. Because of the time limitations being imposed by the FAA on the Airport Authority to accept the grant offer and return executed copies by the end of July, the Airport Authority respectfully requests acceptance of the grant offer by Weld County at its July 19th, 1999 meeting. Original copies of the grant offer by the FAA will not be made available to us until after this date. Because of the short time frame to approve, sign and return these documents, it is necessary to be able to gain such approval for the appropriate execution by the County once the documents are received the following week. Thank you for consideration of this matter: SUBMITTED: Pl. C. r2— ex---_ Michael A. Reisman, A.A.E. Airport Manager 991603 P.O. Box 727 • Greeley, CO 80632 • (970)356-9141 • FAX(970)356-2643 Hello
