    The Great Falls International Airport Authority, referred to herein

Parcel 15 by reinvesting an amount of $212,493 (90% of the current fair 
market value) towards the acquisition of an AIP eligible piece of snow 
removal equipment.
    The Authority proposes to lease the property for continued 
operation of the City of Great Falls 911 Call Center as well as the

airport purposes. The proposed use of this property is compatible with 
other airport operations and is in accordance with FAA's Policy and
