Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a grant agreement 3-04-0064-025-2016 with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the anticipated amount of approximately $865,000 for the North Apron Rehabilitation at the Glendale Municipal Airport.
Staff expects the FAA to offer the grant prior to September 30, 2016.

A similar request was made and approved by City Council on August 12, 2014.
