CARES Act Airport Grants amounts to specific airports are derived by legislative formula. The purpose of this Grant is to maintain safe and efficient airport operations. Funds provided under this Grant Agreement must only be used for purposes directly related to the airport. Such purposes can include the reimbursement of an airport’s operational and maintenance expenses or debt service payments. CARES Act Airport Grants may be used to reimburse airport operational and maintenance expenses directly related to Renton Municipal Airport incurred no earlier than January 20, 2020. CARES Act Airport Grants also may be used to reimburse a Sponsor’s payment of debt service where such payments occur on or after April 14, 2020. Funds provided under the Grant will be governed by the same principles that govern “airport revenue.” New airport development projects may not be funded June 11, 2020 with this Grant, unless and until the Grant Agreement is amended or superseded by a subsequent agreement that addresses and authorizes the use of funds for the airport development project. NOW THEREFORE, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the CARES Act, Public Law Number 116-136, the representations contained in the Grant Application, and in consideration of, (a) the Sponsor’s acceptance of this Offer; and, (b) the benefits to accrue to the United States and the public from the accomplishment of the Grant and in compliance with the conditions as herein provided, THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, FOR AND ON BEHALF OF THE UNITED STATES, HEREBY OFFERS AND AGREES to pay 100% percent of the allowable costs incurred as a result of and in accordance with this Grant Agreement.
