This agreement requires the County Attorney to sign after the Mayor signs. The Office of the County Attorney has reviewed the document, approved it, and will be signing after the Mayor’s signature as per the FAA’s request. However, this Grant Agreement does not include the County's standard agreement provisions because the FAA requires the County to execute its standard FAA Grant Agreement to accept this grant.
