A. Grants – The Commission will review and provide a recommendation for all grants 
pertaining to the Airport.  Specifically, the Commission will: 
i. Vote on all Airport grants before being submitted to the Council.  The exception will be if 
grant acceptance and Council action is required sooner than the Commission can meet. 
 
CHAIRMAN HAWLEY We need to start living by this grant- review language. 
However, I would like some clarification from Legal: does this apply to grants that 
the airport or city council is GRANTING (to others). Or does it apply to grants the 
airport is RECEIVING (from the FAA, state, etc.)?

for discussion of any item(s) on the proposed consent agenda, should any Commissioner or 
member of the public request to address any such matter, the Commission shall withdraw 
the matter from the consent agenda for the purpose of conducting a full discussion and 
receiving of public comments prior to taking action on the matter.
