BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS: The City of San Bernardino and the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) have previously applied for an Economic Development Administration, Title IX Sudden and Severe Economic Dislocation Implementation Grant, which provided for 75% funding of certain street improvements on Norton Air Force Base including Tippecanoe and the Del Rosa connection into Norton. The IVDA is providing the 25% local match portion of the total tenant award of$9.1 million. Per the attached letter, the United States Department of Commerce, EDA, has invited the IVDA and the City of San Bernardino to apply for an amendment to a previously approved grant for road and infrastructure improvements on Tippecanoe and Del Rosa Ave. The San Bernardino International Airport Authority has the opportunity to receive an additional $4.5 million from the Federal Economic Development Administration to fund additional street improvements on the aviation portions of Norton, which are within the control of the Airport Authority. This would also include the construction of a terminal road and a parking lot, which would serve the proposed Norton terminal. The Airport Authority would provide the 25% local match portion for this aspect of the grant. The invitation to apply is subsequent to a preapplication submitted to the United States Department of Commerce, EDA, in February 1995. While an invitation to apply is no guarantee that an award will be made, it is a positive indication. worddoc/mar95 1aeAambrldoc ITEM NO. The attached Resolution for the Mayor and Common Council is similar to the one adopted in 1993, and authorizes the Mayor to submit necessary documents and the application to the Federal Economic Development Administration for the additional grant amounts as an amendment to the existing grant to the IVDA. Staff recommends adoption of the form motion. worddc dmar95/aeAambr2.doc ITEM NO. 4�cHT Or co U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Economic Development Administration Jackson Federal Building, Room 1856 915 Second Avenue �osr Seattle, Washington 98174 4T5 pf Fax: (206) 220-7669 RE 'G (VI A k Mr. William L.
