City staff: FAA grant-assurance language under review after potential conflict with state law; council update set for June 9
Summary
Ethan reported that city staff and the city attorney are reviewing draft Federal Aviation Administration grant assurances and contract templates that may conflict with Oregon state law; staff will update council on federal funding and project impacts on June 9.
Ethan told the Intergovernmental Relations Committee on May 7 that airport staff are reviewing updated Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant assurances and contract templates and that current drafts appear to conflict with state law. He said the city attorney’s office and airport staff are coordinating with other jurisdictions to understand potential legal actions or remedies.
Ethan said that contract language and federal funding decisions have been “very dynamic” amid recent court rulings, and that airport staff member Matt Rodriguez provided the status update. A formal update to the full City Council on federal funding and potential project impacts is scheduled for the June 9 city manager’s update work session.
Ending: City staff will provide a June 9 briefing to council with further detail and any recommended next steps once legal review is complete.
