GRANT PROPOSAL Describe how Grant Funds are to be used. The City of Pueblo, Pueblo Memorial Airport, is seeking Colorado Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics grant assistance for the installation of a Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) for it's main Runway 26R. The current VASI system is in need of replacement due to it's age. Even with the decrease in commercial service, Pueblo Memorial Airport recognized a 4% increase in landings in 1997 compared to 1996. Attach additional pages if necessary PROBLEM STATEMENT This section should provide enough information to adequately describe the conditions requiring State financial assistance. A PAPI unit has been planned for as an equipment upgrade for a number of years but not implemented or identified as an AIP project. The overall condition of the Runway 26R VASI unit was evaluated during a recent taxiway project that required relocation of the power supply and control unit. The evaluation indicated that deterioration due to the age of the unit makes it a priority for replacement as components for repair are increasingly expensive and difficult to acquire. The continued life of the current VASI unit is questionable at best, even if repairs or parts replacement is initiated. To maintain and improve the current level of Visual Landing Aids, Pueblo Memorial Airport requests a State grant to accomplish this project. In FY1997, the Pueblo Memorial Airport enplanement activities decreased due to leakage to Colorado Springs, inadequate air service, and loss of commercial air service. Air service resumed in early 1998, however, it is not anticipated that Pueblo Memorial Airport will reach the 10,000 enplanements required to be eligible for Federal Airport Improvement Projects (AIP) funding. Until such time as Pueblo Memorial Airport reaches the 10,000 threshold, funding will have to come from State or local sources. The Taxpayers Bill of Rights (Amendment 1) severely restricts the City's ability to consistently make improvements at the Airport. State help is essential to make this airport a safe haven for air travelers.
