RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND
Each year the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) offers to general aviation airports match
entitlement grants to fund part of their Airport Improvement Program (AIP). In addition to
federal funding, Caltrans Division of Aeronautics offers a 5% matching grant to supplement the
AIP program. In order to apply for FAA grant funding, the City must provide a resolution
authorizing the grant application prior to submittal.
On September 13, 2010, Council approved a grant in the amount of $52,250 for the installation
of pilot controlled lighting and of the rotating beacon. On January 24, 2011, the Council
approved a grant in the amount of $118,750 for the Design of Aircraft Apron Phase I
Rehabilitation Project and the Southwest Taxiway Pavement Rehabilitation Design Project. On
March 19, 2012, Council approved a grant in the amount of $45,000 for the runway 11 -29
Pavement Rehabilitation and Replacement of the Airfield Runway Lighting Voltage Regulator.
On August 4, 2014, Council approved a grant in the amount of $633,764 for the runway
rehabilitation and overlay project.
DISCUSSION
The Airport is seeking AIP grant funds to update the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) Narrative and
Terrain Survey. The ALP outlines proposed airport projects and estimated costs for the next 5 -10
years and is an FAA requirement in order to be eligible for grant funding. The FAA recommends
the plan being updated every 5 -10 years, with the last update approved in 2006. The Petaluma
Airport Commission considered the matter at its regular meeting held on August 6, 2015,
recommends that the City Council support the proposal.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The projected cost of the project is $166,000 of which the FAA Grant portion (90 %) is $150,000,
the Caltrans match (5 %) is $7,500 and the City's local match is $8,500. The project will be
proposed in the FY 16/17 budget.
