(a) Technical Services of the Department. The
department may, insofar as is reasonably possible, make available its
engineering and other technical services, with or without charge, to any
municipality or person desiring them in connection with the planning,
acquisition, construction, improvement, maintenance or operation of airports
or air navigation facilities.
(b) State Financial Assistance. The department may render financial
assistance by grant or loan or both to any municipality or municipalities
acting jointly, in the planning, acquisition, construction, improvement,
maintenance, or operation of an airport owned or controlled, or to be owned or
controlled by such municipality or municipalities, out of appropriations made
by the legislature for such purposes. Such financial assistance may be
furnished in connection with federal or other financial aid for the same
purposes.
(c) Federal Aid. The department is authorized to act as agent of any
municipality or municipalities acting jointly, upon the request of such
municipality or municipalities, in accepting, receiving, receipting for and
disbursing federal moneys, and other moneys public or private, made available
to finance, in whole or part, the planning, acquisition, construction,
improvement, maintenance, or operation of a municipal airport or air
navigation facility; and if requested by such municipality or municipalities
may act as its or their agent in contracting for and supervising such
planning, acquisition, construction, improvement, maintenance or operation;
and all municipalities are authorized to designate the department their agent
for the foregoing purposes. The department, as principal on behalf of the
state, and any municipality, on its own behalf, may enter into any contracts,
with each other or with the United States or with any person, which may be
required in connection with a grant or loan of federal moneys for municipal
airport or air navigation facility purposes. All federal moneys accepted under
this section shall be accepted and transferred or expended by the department
upon such terms and conditions as are prescribed by the United States. All
moneys received by the department pursuant to this section shall be deposited
in the state treasury, and, unless otherwise prescribed by the authority from
which such moneys were received, shall be kept in separate funds designated
according to the purposes for which the moneys were made available, and held
by the state in trust for such purposes. All such moneys are hereby
appropriated for the purposes for which the same were made available, to be
disbursed or expended in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which
they were made available.
(d) No municipality, county, regional airport authority in this state,
except airports serving regularly scheduled airlines certified by an agency of
the federal government, whether acting alone or jointly with another local
public entity or with the state, shall submit to any federal agency or
department of the United States any project application under the provisions
of any act of congress which provides airport planning funds, or airport
construction and development funds for the expansion and improvement of the
airport system, unless the pre-application for federal assistance has been
first submitted to and approved by the Idaho transportation department.
