Title
Resolution concluding the South San Francisco Airport Noise Improvement Program and returning the remaining $784,812.15 in unspent funds to the San Francisco International Airport.
body
WHEREAS, the City of South San Francisco (“City”) and the San Francisco International Airport (“SFO”) entered into a memorandum of understanding in 2000 (“2000 MOU”) pursuant to which SFO advanced $2.4 million to fund residential noise insulation efforts coordinated by the City on behalf of City residents (“SSF ANIP Program”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the SSF ANIP Program hundreds of City residents received noise insulation treatments to their homes and the costs of those treatments were funded by the money advanced by SFO; and
WHEREAS, SFO has restructured its noise insulation program such that residents in affected noise contour zones apply directly to SFO for participation and funding for noise insulation improvements and local jurisdictions no longer coordinate funding on behalf of SFO; and
WHEREAS, all other jurisdictions in SFO’s noise impact area have returned unspent noise insulation funds to SFO for SFO to utilize in its program providing funding directly to residents; and
WHEREAS, the City currently holds $784,812.15 in unspent SSF ANIP Program funds and accrued interest and has not expended any funds in furtherance of the program since 2013; and
WHEREAS, SFO has requested that the City return the unspent funds in order to utilize those funds as part of its broader noise insulation program providing direct funding to residents and the City wishes to return these unspent funds to SFO for inclusion in SFO’s program; and
WHEREAS, the City intends to conclude its SSF ANIP Program and instead, provide assistance and outreach to its residents in applying for and accessing noise insulation funding directly through SFO.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco hereby takes the following actions:
1. Concludes the SSF ANIP Program; and
2. Authorizes the City Manager to return the remaining $784,812.15 in unspent SSF ANIP Program funds and accrued interest to the San Francisco International Airport; and
3. Authorizes the City Manager to take any action and execute any documents necessary for the City’s conclusion of the SSF ANIP Program and return of the remaining $784,812.15 in unspent SSF ANIP Program funds to the San Francisco International Airport; and
4. Authorizes the City Manager to terminate the 2000 MOU upon mutual agreement with SFO.
