of the City of Petaluma, California
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF PETALUMA TO APPLY FOR AND ACCEPT A
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (CALTRANS) DIVISION OF
AERONAUTICS 5% GRANT MATCH TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION FISCAL
YEAR 2025 AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GRANT PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City of Petaluma and the Federal Aviation Administration are parties to the federal Airport
Improvement Program (AIP) grant 3-06-0186-034-2025 for the Taxiway A Rehabilitation and grant 3-06-0186-
036-2025 for the Taxilane B Reconstruction at the Petaluma Municipal Airport; and
WHEREAS, the Taxiway A Rehabilitation project (C61502009) and the South Taxilane B Rehabilitation
project (C61502319) are included in the Capital Improvement Program for FY2025-2026 on CIP-8 and CIP-9,
respectively; and
WHEREAS, the California Department of Transportation, pursuant to the Public Utilities Code section
21683.1, provides grants of 5% of Federal Aviation Administration grants to airports; and
WHEREAS, the California Department of Transportation requires the City Council to adopt a resolution
authorizing the submission of an application for an AIP Matching grant; and
WHEREAS, approval of this resolution is a prerequisite for acceptance of California Department of
Transportation grant funds and will allow the City to proceed with project advancement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Petaluma as follows:
1. Declares the above recitals to be true and correct and are incorporated into this resolution as findings of the
City Council.
2. Finds that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, in that applying for a grant does not meet
CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct
physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,
and because the action does not commit the City to a definite course of action (See City of Irvine v. County of
Orange (2013) 221 Cal 4th 846, 865, County’s decision to apply for state funding for potential jail expansion
was not project approval). Further CEQA analysis will be performed once the City obtains the grant funds
and determines how to use the funds.
3. Authorizes filing an application for a state AIP Matching grant for this project.
4. Authorizes accepting the allocation of state AIP Matching funds for the project.
5. Authorizes execution of an AIP Matching Grant Agreement for this project.
6. Authorizes the City Manager or her designee to execute all grant-related documents, including agreements,
certifications, and reimbursement requests, and to take all actions necessary to implement the grant awards.
