Fiscal Impact City of Redding (City) Airports Division staff submitted applieations to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program grants for the Reconstruct Eastside T-Hangar Taxilanes and Drainage Improvements (Design) Project at Benton Field. The total project budget submitted is $448,173 with requested federal funding of$425,765.

Report to Redding City Council June 12,2025 Re: 4.2(a)--Budget Resolution and Ratification of GrantApplication Page 2 FAA-funded grant projects often require pre-award expenditure to prepare required project documentarion and certain environmental reparts which is why staff is requesting this budget amendment in advance of receiving a grant. So-far pre-award expense, at-risk in case of no award, are $32,000. Alternative Action City Council may choose not to authorize staff to submit the applications and to not adopt the budget resolution. Or, may choose to provide alternate direction to staff. If the grant application is not ratified, staff would withdraw the applications thereby funding would not be available for this project. Certain elements of the pre-award expenditure may not be reusable depending on elapsed time between now and any future consideration of grant funding for this project, effectively forfeiting the eligibility of the current at-risk pre-award expenses. Background/Analysis This project focuses on addressing the pavelnent condition of the taxi-lanes located on the east side of Benton Field which are deteriorating due to drainage conditions and deferred maintenance. Typically, an FAA project will only consider a narrow seginent of pavement from the centerline of the taxi-lane as eligible for federal funding in a capital grant, however, because this project addresses an overall drainage problem on the east side of Benton Field, the Airports Division may be eligible to receive funding for a full reconstruction of the taxi-lanes. At this application phase, the current grant opportunities are for the design of the project. The Airports Division is able to minimize its overall costs for this capital improvemen� by combining a number of entitlement and discretionary funding sources from federal and state government agencies. AIG is a program made available from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2021) which is also commonly referred to in the aviation industry as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (or `BIL") whereas AIP is the regularly available federal funding source for airport infrastructure projects. Certain pre-award expenditures have already been made in order to complete the application submittal package, which include direct costs for development of the CATEX documentation for the design project (�$26,000) as well as the Independent Fee Estimate required for the application submittal($6,500). Envi�onmental Review As part of the grant application process for FAA funding the City of Redding has requested determination of a categorieal exclusion for projects eligible for a categorical exclusion (CATEX) that have greater potential for extraordinary circumstances or that otherwise require additional documentation, as described in the FAA Order 1050.1 (current version) and FAA Order 5050.4B (collectively, FAA Environmental Orders). The City has requested a determination of categorical exclusion based on paragraphs 5-6.4 (e) and (o) — Categorical Exclusions for Facility Siting, Construction, and Maintenance. The CATEX documentation is currently being reviewed by the FAA under a request for a CATEX determination on this project.
