approved by June 1, 2005. When Chris received the memo there were not projects on the table,
but perhaps it can be used for something you are working on now.
If you have any questions, or I can be of further help, let me know.

Dear Mr. Kukulski; m ^'

The Montana Aeronautics Board has considered your application for state airport
financial assistance at its January2V, 200.4 meeting in Helena. We are pleased
to inform you that the Aeronautics Board has tentatively approved a grant of
$17,500.00 for your airport. To accept the offer, please follow the directions
outlined below. This offer is valid only for State fiscal year 2005, unless
approved by extension (see below).
This tentative approval is subiect to the following requirements:
1) Division grants may not exceed 50% of sponsor share of actual
project costs. Consequently, if your total project costs are less than
estimated on your Airport Aid Application, you must not accept any
amounts that violate this policy. If changes need to be made to your grant
amount, please contact us to change your grant payment.
2) The Federal Aviation Administration approves of the project scope and a
Federal Grant Agreement is awarded by June 1st, 2005. If no federal
grant is awarded by this date, the Sponsor may submit a request for an
extension as outlined below.
3) Your airport must be in compliance with Title 67, chapters 4,5 and 6 of
Montana Code Annotated. These chapters deal specifically with airport
and airspace requirements and recommendations for an airport owner to
adequately protect the airport from incompatible structures and land uses.
For purposes of this grant, the sponsor must submit a legal document
signifying it's compliance (see below).
To accept and receive your grant monies, please submit the following to
the Aeronautics Division when able:
1) A signed certificate of sponsor's attorney for grant acceptance
2) A copy of the signed FAA grant agreement for project scope
3) A copy of, or reason of exemption or inapplicability from, AIA (Airport
Influence Area), airport hazard protection and/or zoning protection (if
applicable) as described within Title 67, chapters 4,5 and 6 of Montana
Code Annotated.
