Commission adopts DBE program for Atkinson Municipal Airport to comply with FAA funding requirements
Summary
The Pittsburg City Commission adopted a disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) program for Atkinson Municipal Airport, a requirement to qualify for FAA-funded projects and loans that typically require a small local match.
The Pittsburg City Commission on Feb. 25 adopted a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program for Atkinson Municipal Airport, a policy required to qualify for Federal Aviation Administration funding for airport projects.
City staff said the DBE program is an FAA requirement that allows the city to remain eligible for federal airport funding, which often carries favorable match rates (for example, a 10 percent local match or less). Staff said the policy is a renewal of the airports DBE obligations rather than a newly created program.
The commission approved the staff recommendation by voice vote.
