No funding was awarded in 2022. The 2023 grant, if awarded,will fund the continued noise mitigation efforts included in this Project.Any funding not used will be returned to the FAA. The first phase of the Project included an in-depth study of homes in the Rivers Edge neighborhood,which determined 264 homes are eligible for noise mitigation efforts. Five methods for noise mitigation will be offered to the homeowners. These methods include a sound insulation program, sales assurance program,transaction assistance program,and purchase assurance program,all with an associated avigation easement, as well as an avigation easement program. The choice of the sound insulation program,which is most common in this project,will consist of the installation of new windows and doors. The choice of purchase assurance, sales assurance, or transaction assurance are measures with which to assist homeowners who prefer to move from the noise impacted areas and facilitate a timely market sale of noise impacted properties. Existing land credits remaining from land donations at the Airport will be used for the City's in-kind match of$1,666,667.00. Upon award,the grant will increase funding to the Muni Airport Grants Federal Fund as shown below: Fund Appropriation Amountil Original Budget Muni Airport Grants Federal Fund --$15,000,0 000 ci $15,000,000.00 Muni Airport Grants Federal Fund(Land Credits for City Match) �— $1,666,667.00 $1,666,667.001 Muni Airport Grants Federal Fund(Total) $16,666,667.00 $16,666,667.00 ADVISORY BOARD APPROVAL-On January 26,2023,the Aviation Advisory Board voted to recommend that the City Council approve the application for and acceptance of this grant.
