MEMO TO: Airport Sponsors
FY - 2005 Loan and/or Grant Award/Extension Recipients
MEMO FROM: Jim Greil, Chief
Airports/Airways Bureau
SUBJECT: Aeronautics Division Loan and/or Grant Disbursements
This letter is a friendly reminder regarding the status of your loan and/grant
disbursement. As of July 1st, 2004, the state entered fiscal year 2005, which means that
since last July, your loans and/or grants have been able to be processed and paid. The
Montana Aeronautics Board set forth a requirement that all approved fiscal year 2005.
grant and loan funds must be disbursed by June 1s; 2005. To date, we have not
disbursed your grant and/or loan funds.
Before we can disburse your funds, certain documentation is required to be returned to
our office. The items that are needed by the Division from you were detailed in your
grant/loan award letter sent last year. These items that you need to return to our office,
if you have not already done so, might include a signed certificate(s) of sponsor's
attorney, a signed loan resolution, a notice to proceed for construction, a copy of
expenses occurred or a copy of the applicable FAA grant acceptance letter. A list of
those airports that were awarded money including the items that the Division has yet to
receive is attached to this memo. If your records indicate something other than what is
mentioned in the attachment, or if you have any other questions, please feel free to
contact the Division at your earliest convenience.
If the requirements' cannot be met for the disbursement of your funds by the deadline
mentioned above, you may wish to submit a letter requesting that your approved grant
and/or loan offer be extended for a another one year period. The Division must
receive this request for an extension absolutely no later than M -'-' th, 2005. All
requests for extensions are presented to the Aeronautics Board for their approval in
early June. If no request for an extension of the approved loan and/or grant is received
by the deadline, or the Aeronautics Board does not grant an extension for the allocated
funds, then the sponsors funds will be reallocated towards the next years loan and grant
program.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
