Alva council approves design-only work for airport hangars and authorizes FAA grant application
Summary
The Alva City Council approved Park Hill Amendment No. 12 to fund design work for new hangars and authorized submission of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant application to cover design costs; council authorized city officials to sign grant documents.
The Alva City Council voted to authorize design-only work for new hangars at the municipal airport and to submit an FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant application to pay for that design work.
Council approved Park Hill Amendment No. 12, which the agenda described as authorization to proceed with design-only work for hangar construction using FAA grant funds. Council members then authorized submission of FAA grant AIP-3-40-0003-021-20254A and delegated authority to the city business manager and the mayor to sign grant documents and accept funds.
Mayor Parker and city staff said the FAA and Oklahoma Department of Aeronautics grants help the city keep airport projects moving even when full construction funding is not yet available. City staff explained the amendment permits design work now so projects remain ready for construction when funding arrives.
The grant application as read from the agenda referenced FAA AIP-3-40-0003-021-20254A and listed a grant amount and a required city match; in the meeting the figures were read as "hundred and $5,004.50" for the grant and a required city match of $5,550. Council discussion did not change the dollar figures as presented on the agenda.
Park Hill Amendment No. 12 and the grant-application authorization were approved by motion and second and were recorded as approved by the council.
Council members and staff said design work funded by the FAA grants will allow engineers to complete plans so the city can bid and build when construction funding becomes available. No construction contract was awarded at the meeting; the actions are limited to design authorization and grant-application submission.
The council’s approvals allow the city business manager and mayor to sign required grant documents and to proceed with the design phase under the terms described in the agenda.
Votes at the meeting on these airport items were recorded as approved by the council.
