RECOMiVIENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to apply for and accept, if awarded, a grant from the Federal Aviation
Administration in the amount of $263,072.00 to update Part 150 Noise Study; approve additional funding for
the purchase of an Aircraft Rescue Firefighting Vehicle, and fund Phase 3 of Runway/Taxiway Shoulder

Fund by $276,917.89, subject to receipt of the grant.
DISCUSSION:
Each year Fort Worth Alliance Airport is eligible to receive Airport Cargo Entitlement and Non-Primary
Airport money from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This is based on the amount of cargo activity
from the previous calendar year. Due to budgetary issues, the FAA had to hold back the City of Fort Worth's
fourth quarter allotment of entitlement dollars. These funds have been released and are now available to be
used to fund several projects at Fort Worth Alliance Airport.
Upon receipt of the grant, funds in the amount of $88,820.00 from the FAA will be used to update the Part
150 Noise Study. Due to a change in anticipated activity levels at Fort Worth Alliance Airport, the FAA has
requested that the noise contours be updated to remove activity that was to be associated with aircraft
owned by Northern General Leasing, LLC. This amendment will generate new contours, which will require
an additional public meeting to advise the public of any changes and address revisions to work previously
done under the noise compatibility plan process following the acceptance of the previous Noise Exposure
Map.
On June 19, 2007, (M&C P-10603) City Council authorized the purchase of an Aircraft Rescue Firefighting
Vehicle (ARFF) for Fort Worth Alliance Airport from Emergency Vehicles of Texas at a cost not to exceed
$605,666.00. A grant from the FAA was authorized to fund the vehicle for $550,000.00. The FAA was made

aware of the shortfall and is issuing this grant to cover the remaining cost of $55,666.00.
The remaining funds in the amount of $118,586.00 will be used for ai~eld pavement rehabilitation at
Alliance Airport.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, receipt of the grant
award, and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital
budget, as appropriated, of the Airports Grant Fund.
