Board approves up to $585,000 FAA grant for airport fuel-tank replacement; designates county signatory
Summary
The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 3 approved an FAA grant of up to $585,000 to replace fuel tanks and improve the fuel arm at Nogales International Airport and designated Mary Dahl to sign the federal documents.
The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 3 approved entering a grant agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration for fuel tank replacement and fuel arm improvements at Nogales International Airport and designated Mary Dahl as the county’s authorized signatory for the electronic grant documents.
County staff said the FAA grant is for an amount up to $585,000 and requires a county contribution of 5 percent, which staff said had been discussed and approved previously. The board voted to authorize Mary Dahl, Special Projects Director, to execute the DocuSign documents and other required paperwork for the agreement.
The item was moved from the consent agenda to action to allow the board to name the authorized representative required by federal electronic-contracting procedures. County staff explained federal grants increasingly require an identified signatory and that there was a short signature window after the award notice. The board approved the motion without recorded roll-call votes; the clerk announced the motion carried unanimously.
The agreement’s grant number, as presented to the board, is "3-04-0024-028-2025." County staff did not provide additional schedule or implementation details at the meeting beyond the authorization to sign and the statement that the 5% county match had been previously approved.
What happens next: with the authorization in place, staff said Mary Dahl will sign the federal documents electronically. The board did not direct additional changes or specify a timetable for construction or procurement during the meeting.
Votes at the meeting on this item were announced by the chair as "motion carries unanimously," and no individual roll-call votes or vote tallies were read into the record.
