TITLE
RESOLUTION APPROVING A REQUEST AND APPLICATION BY THE CITY OF
PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, FOR GRANT ASSISTANCE FROM
THE COLORADO DIVISION OF AERONAUTICS IN THE FORM OF A STATE
AVIATION SYSTEM GRANT, DESIGNATING THE CITY MANAGER AS ITS
PROJECT DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE THE APPLICATION AND TO ACT ON

ISSUE
Should City Council approve a resolution applying for grant assistance from the Colorado
Division of Aeronautics for a power generator for runway lighting and signage at the
Pueblo Memorial Airport.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The new power vault that was completed on August 2, 2001 under a Federal AIP grant is
not equipped with a back -up power generator. The power vault is for new runway and
taxiway lighting and signage that were just installed. Generator units are not eligible for
AIP funding in this district. The generator from the old power vault building is 40 years
old and has been rated at 55kw, which is insufficient to handle the present load
requirements of 95kw.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The amount of State funds requested is $80,000 and the City's match is $20,000, for a
project total of $100,000. The grant application is for 2002 funding, therefore, the City's
matching funds have been requested in the Airport's 2002 budget.

Identify the exisfin_a aroblem:
The new power vault completed on August 2, 2001 under a Federal AIP grant is not
equipped with a back -up power generator. The old generator which is 40 years old
has been rated at 55kw which_is_insufficient to handle the present load require-
ments which are 90kw -95kw.
How is the problem to be addressed.
Install a new generator of sufficient capacity to handle current load require-
ments and some:.extra capacity for additional lighting or signage that may be
required in the future.
Define the proposed project in detail.
Issue a contract to supply, install, and test at maximum load a back -up
generator in the new power vault generator room at Pueblo Memorial Airport.
If state grant funds are not available, how will the project be financed:
If grant funds are not available,.it is unknown if local-sponsor funding can.be
provided from the general fund. Generator units are not eligible for AIP
funding in this district. The only alternative available would be to move and
install the old generator and limit the number of circuits it could serve
until such time as a new generator can be funded.
