Acquire snow removal equipment which is required due to the recall of such equipment, previously on loan to the airport, by the United States Air Force in conjunction with the closure of Chanute Air Force Base. Both projects are eligible for Federal participation. According to present cost estimates, the four projects (airfield signage, computer-controlled access system, runway edge lighting, and snow removal equipment) can be funded by the airport's FY 1993 entitlement dollars and matching funds as follows: Federal $835 290 Local (University) 34 110 State 58 700 Total $928 100 The chancellor at Urbana has recommended that the University amend the previous grant application to defer construction of parallel runway 14R/32L and add the rehabilitation of the primary runway edge lights and acquisition of snow removal equipment for the airport's FY 1993 improvement program, and accept the grant. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.
