• • <br />MEMORANDUM <br />• April 19, 1979 <br />TO: Mayor & Council <br />FROM: J. R. Hudgens <br />SUBJECT: Grant for Non-Directional Beacon from the <br />Texas Aeronautics Commission (T.A.C.) <br />The City has been awarded a grant for the construction and <br />installation of a non-directional beacon for our airport. <br />Covenants of the grant require: <br />1. City to provide site for installation. <br />2. City will pay fifty (50) percent of the cost of the <br />project. <br />3. City will maintain control. of the air navigational <br />facility for at least twenty (20) years. <br />4. City has the ability to finance and operate the air <br />• navigational facility. <br />In conversations with the T.A.C. and the F.A.A. we have <br />determined to locate the beacon on the recently acquired property <br />east of Bay Pointe Townhomes. The City will be required upon <br />acceptance of this grant and its installation, to fence the bea- <br />con with a man-proof fence and contract with a Class A radio <br />operator for maintenance of the facility. The T.A.C. share of <br />the project is estimated to be $4,546.50, with the City share to <br />be a like amount plus fencing and legal fees for our attorney's <br />title opinion. <br />It is recommended that Council orize acceptance of this <br />grant offer and appropriate an in' i,~l ount of $5,500.00 from <br />the General Fund Contingency to un ~t 'ty share of the project. <br />gens <br />i A inistrator <br />JRH/cb <br />• <br />
