RE: Re: Kalispell City AirportRick - The timing of the EA is up to the City, however as you indicate it
makes sense to know the direction of the tower mitigation before they
initiate the EA for the airport, so as to better define the scope of work.
Please keep us up to date on the status of the towers, consultant selection
etc.

RE: Re: Kalispell City Airport
Fred,
We can put together a grant application, but remember this year's funding
cycle is done. The earliest you could expect to see FAA funds would be
next Spring.
I called Gary to verify / discuss the sequence of events that should happen
next:
1) Complete the engineering selection
2) Get the paperwork on Stokes liquidation
3) Having #2, the FAA would approve you moving into an Environmental
Update. However with the public climate there, the FAA will want to see
some public involvement / hearing in addition to the usual update
activities. We would check to see if there are any changes in
environmental conditions in each category, check for law changes, and
contacting agencies on any changed conditions for the preferred option
only. The EA update will be required before the FAA will reimburse for
land. But they don't really want to give the go-ahead on an EA update
until the tower removal is a sure thing. I have talked with Dan our
environmental specialist. A ballpark estimate on time required would be 3
- 4 months depending on what all the FAA wants to see for sure. So we
could get the EA update completed before spring when the money is available
anyway.
4) Complete FAA Preapplication.
5) Complete MT Aeronautics Grant / Loan Application
6) There are two ways to grant the EA update. It could be done as a stand
alone "planning" grant. Planning grant costs are fixed on cost, not
amendable, and cannot be done ahead of the grant and reimbursed. So I
would not recommend that since time is of the essence. Instead, we can tag
the EA Update onto the first phase of land acquisition. This would provide
more flexibility in schedule and grant amendment capability. The downside
is that the EA Update costs would not be participated in by the FAA until
the Grant is issued next year. If RPA is re-selected, I would propose that
we could help carry most of the EA Update cost if necessary until you
receive the grant if the City is still having a hard time with cash flow.
7) Complete FAA Grant Application.
8) When the FAA receives permission to issue funds for grants next year
(usually spring sometime) you will have access to all your Non-Primary
entitlement funds. There may be some opportunity for State Apportionment
(SA) funds, but don't count on it, as they have already planned much of
next year. 2011 may be more likely for State Apportionment funds.
9) To get the grant funds, a Final Land Report will need to be completed,
which we could do as the EA Update is underway.
Please move forward on the advertisement for engineering services. We will
start to plan on the Environmental Update sequence of events and present it
to the FAA for concurrence. Keep us informed on the Stokes' status and get
copies of any paperwork documenting his demise. We will also prepare a
draft of a FAA Preapplication and complete the refresh on the CIP for your
review.
I am copying Gary in case he has any comment of correction to the above.

Then we know what we have to do then. If this Stokes thing gets
resolved, I would like an application submitted immediately for the land
acquisitions to date. I need to get some funds flowing back to the
airport ASAP. We should also be prepared to submit for the NPE as soon
as possible. We need to get together on the CIP so we don’t miss that
deadline which is September 11th, I believe. What do you need from me to
fill in the forms provided from the ADO?

Fred,
I don't think Phil did any Grant Applications for that work. (See Gary's
message below) It wouldn't really serve any purpose if we knew it would
not be accepted. RPA did however complete a Final Report (for the North
End Surfacing) as if it were an AIP project in order complete that
project and document the work and costs for a future grant application.
For the land portions, transmission and summary of all the land
appraisals and transactions was done for Gary's files but no final land
report since it is on-going.
I will contact Phil in an attempt to verify this.

Gary,
Fred asked me to unearth two grant applications completed and submitted
by
Phil Porrini for work already accomplished but not granted.
I can find a Final Report for the north end surfacing project, record
of
land acquisition file transmittal and several pre-applications
throughout
the years. I do not see any actual Grant Applications. Are you aware
of
Grant Applications submitted but not acted upon?
