Explanation
§ On March 2, 2016, the City entered a Memorandum of Understanding between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that established the framework for the FAA to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Fourth Parallel Runway project and associated capital projects.
§ Due to the FAA’s increased workload associated with the management of environmental activities across the region, this reimbursable agreement will temporarily allocate one additional FAA staff, for up to two years, to provide in the review of, and/or the provision of comments regarding environmental forms and documentation associated with Aviation-proposed capital projects.
§ The $475,063.77 includes two years of total personnel and operating costs associated with the FAA’s management of the Airport’s EIS program. This is a FAA staff member that will be located within its agency, not at the Airport.
§ The benefit to both Aviation and FAA is to have dedicated staff to support time critical Aviation projects without adversely affecting FAA operations.
§ This reimbursable agreement provides funding for the FAA to establish these services.
§ This activity is occurring on airport property, which is in Council District 3.
