The following is a brief overview of the request:

The City of Fresno, California requested a release from grant assurance obligations for approximately 13.35 acres of airport land to allow for its sale. The property was originally acquired as separate parcels with federal funding and airport generated funds. Approximately 2.23 acres were acquired under Airport Development Aid Program (ADAP) grant No. 6–06–0087– 02; 1.41 acres were acquired under Airport Development Aid Program (ADAP) grant No. 6–06–0087–06; 3.05 acres were acquired under Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant No. 3–06–0087–16 for noise abatement; 4.02 acres acquired under AIP grant No. 3– 06–0087–19 for noise abatement; and 2.64 acres of the land was acquired from the State of California with airport generated funds for a total of 13.35 acres of airport land to be released.

Due to its location and condition, the property cannot be used for airport purposes. The property previously contained homes that have been removed and the land cleared. The land is presently kept vacant and is unimproved and does not have any current or future income generating potential. The planned land use is for a storm water detention basin and will be kept vacant. The release will allow 13.35 acres to be sold to the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District. The sale price will be based on an upward adjusted appraised fair market value. The sale proceeds will be deposited in the airport account. The Fresno Yosemite International Airport will be properly compensated, thereby serving the interests of civil aviation.
