SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) is a Federal Program to provide
emergency assistance for individuals, families, and businesses affected by the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.
Under the CARES Airport Program, General Aviation Airports such as McCall will receive an
apportionment of CARES Act funding. On April 15th, the Federal Aviation Administration announced that
McCall Airport has been approved for $30,000 in CARES Act Funding. Funds can be used for a wide range
of operations, maintenance and capital improvement projects. CARES Act funds are separate from Airport
Improvement program funds and can be expended on a wider range of items with fewer restrictions.
Staff plans on not expending the funds until the impact of the coronavirus’ financial effects on the Airport
Budget are known. At that time, a decision will be made. Therefore, Staff’s recommendation is Option 1 -
As outlined in the attached email from William Garrison:
The quickest option is to use all of your CARES Act funds for operational expenses, such
as payroll, utility bills, or payment of debt service. If this is how you would like to use
your airport’s CARES Act funds, just check the “I Agree” box in Field #21 and sign the
attached form. Then email the signed form back to us. We will expedite processing your
CARES Act grant.

documents.
