County airport officials will seek $11.9 million for the first two years of the five-year plan to pay for repaving runways and taxiways, land acquisition and drainage work at Oxnard and Camarillo airports.

The FAA and the state Division of Aeronautics require airports to file five-year capital improvement plans to qualify for such grant funding. Tuesday's approval of the plan, however, does not guarantee a project will be funded. |
