Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
By Resolution Number (No.) 13-011 (February 12, 2013), the Board approved the Airport Layout Plan for the Round Valley Airport. By Resolution No. 18-185 (December 4, 2018), the Board approved the Airport Capital Improvement Plan for Round Valley Airport for Fiscal Years 2019-2024.
Summary of Request:
In 2015, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notified Mendocino County Department of Transportation (DOT) of Round Valley Airport’s change in classification from basic to unclassified due to its small number of based aircraft. This change in classification meant Round Valley Airport became ineligible to receive Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant funds with the exception of one runway pavement rehabilitation project each ten years. Since the most recent runway pavement project was completed in 2010, Round Valley will soon be eligible again for rehabilitation funds. DOT has submitted an AIP grant application to FAA, in the amount of $67,800, for the design of the runway and shoulder pavement rehabilitation, which is currently planned for construction in Fiscal Year 2021. This grant requires a 10% local match of $6,780 and was budgeted in Fiscal Year 2018/19 through Budget Unit 3050. The grant application was due to FAA by December 31st, which did not allow time for Board approval prior to submission. DOT is requesting the Board ratify the grant application and authorize the Director of Transportation to act as the airport sponsor’s official representative and to execute the grant agreement and sign any other necessary related documents on behalf of Mendocino County if awarded.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve the Resolution and provide direction to staff.
