File Number: 12-159 C. Kell -Smith and Associates reported that Phase II of the Airport Noise Insulation Program (ANIP) is underway with 62 homes scheduled to receive insulation improvements when supplies are delivered to the contractors (report attached). Construction is expected to begin on or about May 21 and be completed on or about July 27. Depending upon how much of the Port's committed $3.4 million in funds for Phase II remains after these 62 homes are finished, Chief Building Official William Schock will work with C. Kell -Smith to contact homeowners remaining on the interest list and complete as many more homes as possible by the deadline of December 1, 2012. All other remaining homes will have to wait until the Port's debt service ratio reaches the agreed upon level in the August 23, 2011 Addendum to the Settlement Agreement as Phase III, which has a final termination date of December 21, 2017. Committee members asked questions regarding Phase III, and regarding homeowners contacted for Phase II who had properties with identified code violations. They also asked that the Port provide the City with regular reports on the Port's debt service ratio in the coming months. 2.

The project is continuing, despite loss of Redevelopment funding, and staff is attempting to find other grant funding to replace the Redevelopment funds. 3.
