Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve a Grant Agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the amount of $13,000 to assist airport sponsors at the Cochise County Airport in Willcox to address the COVID-19 public health emergency, with the understanding grant administration will be transferred to the County Finance Department in fiscal year 2022.
Background:
As announced by the Secretary of Transportation on February 12, 2021, the Cochise County Airport is eligible for funds under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (Public Law 116-260) (CRRSA). These funds will assist airport sponsors to address the COVID-19 public health emergency. The FAA will distribute these grants under the new Airport Coronavirus Response Grant Program (ACRGP). Funding for costs related to operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, janitorial services, combating the spread of pathogens at the airport, and debt service payments. While this funding is similar to the CARES funding, it is more limited in scope. Any airport development must be directly related to combating the spread of pathogens at the airport.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, the Director of Development Services will sign the grant agreement with the FAA
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The County will not receive $13,000 for the Cochise County Airport to address the COVID-19 public health emergency.
