The local share would be the remaining 20% of the FAA-determined non-eligible spaces. · It is uncertain exactly when the grant agreement will be forwarded to the County for signature by the Chairman and County Attorney. The grant will be electronically mailed to the Chairman for electronic signature and then the County Attorney. PIE will not have a copy of the grant prior to the grant being emailed. It is customary that the FAA provides PIE with no advance notice and only a few days to execute the grant and obligate the funding. · Because the grant agreement needs to be signed when it is received by the FAA, we request the Board of County Commissioners delegate authority to Chairman Eggers to sign the grant at the point in time when approving this grant application. · This request is budgeted for in the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget of PIE in the Airport Revenue and Operating Fund (New Passenger Terminal Improvements Project 003343A). In the event that future fiscal year funding is not available for this project, the County maintains the authority to terminate this agreement.
