Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Airport Grants Fund in the amount of $880,000.00, subject to receipt of the grant. DISCUSSION: Meacham International Airport (Meacham) is a Class IV, Part 139 Airport and is required to comply with all Federal Aviation Adminstration Part 139 requirements. Meacham receives unscheduled commercial charters throughout the year which require an Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) index to be maintained 15 minutes before arrival until 15 minutes after departure. The Airport Certification Manual update requires the airport to meet Part 139 Index-B requirements for ARFF on a Prior Permission Required basis. Index-B requires one truck or two trucks to carry 500 pounds of sodium -based dry chemical, Halon 1211 or clean agent and 1,500 gallons of water and the commensurate quantity of Aqueous Film Forming Foam for foam production. Meacham's current ARFF vehicle was built in 1995 and although it is still operational, it has far exceeded its useful life and has become costly to operate and maintain. The City will use revenue derived from gas well drilling for the City's 10 percent grant match. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc_revicw.asp?ID=18698&councildate=7/23/2013 8/6/2013 M&C Review Page 2 of 2 The Aviation Advisory Board recommended approval of this action on June 20, 2013.
