Agenda 09/28/2021 Item #16G 2 (FAA American Rescue Plan Grant Application)09/28/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the submittal of the attached Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
American Rescue Plan Act Grant applications to request eligible funds in the amount of $59,000 for
the Marco Island Executive Airport (MKY) and $32,000 for the Immokalee Regional Airport
(IMM) and designate the County Manger as the authorized representative to submit the application
and accept the award electronically.
OBJECTIVE: To submit grant applications to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to request
eligible funds under the American Rescue Plan Act Grant for the Marco Island Executive Airport and the
Immokalee Regional Airport.
CONSIDERATIONS: On March 11, 2021, the President signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act,
which included $8 billion in economic relief for eligible U.S. airports to prevent, prepare for, and respond
to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. These funds are coming directly from the U.S.
Treasury and no match is required.
On June 22, 2021, the Secretary of Transportation announced that the Marco Island Executive Airport
was eligible for $59,000 and the Immokalee Regional Airport was eligible for $32,000 under this Act.
The grant applications for this funding are due by November 30, 2021.
Grantees may use these funds for any purpose for which airport revenues may be lawfully used following
64 Federal Register 7696 as amended by 79 Federal Register 66282. Eligible expenses must be post
January 20, 2020 and related to operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, janitorial services,
combating the spread of pathogens at the airports and debt service payments. Operational expenses are
those expenses necessary to operate, maintain and manage an airport. They include expenses such as
payroll, utilities, service contracts and items generally having a limited useful life, including personal
protective equipment and cleaning supplies. Match requirements have been waived under the American
Rescue Plan Act.
If awarded, execution of the subsequent grant agreement is to be completed by November 1, 2021. Due to
the short turnaround standard procedure of Board approval prior to agreement execution may not be
possible. By authorizing the County Manger to accept the award the Board will ensure meeting the
execution deadline. Once executed the award will be presented to the Board along with corresponding
budget amendments to appropriate funding.
FISCAL IMPACT: Should the grant be awarded, budget amendments will be necessary to recognize
grant revenue within the Airport Grant Fund (498). There is no match required. The Airport Authority
has been allocated FAA American Rescue Plan Act Grant funds totaling $91,000, $59,000 for the Marco
Island Executive Airport and $32,000 for the Immokalee Regional Airport.
Airport Anticipated Grant Amount
Marco Island Executive Airport (MKY) $59,000
Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM) $32,000
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with the
Board’s approval to submit this grant application.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board action. -JAB
