eligible project cost in an amount up to $100,000.00. This grant requires a 50 percent match of eligible project costs in an amount up to

extension of runway lighting systems.

will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Muni Airport Grants State Fund. The Aviation Department (and Financial
