A 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 DIRECTOR OF AVIATION AS THE ON-SITE PROJECT DIRECTOR AND AUTHORIZING
THE PRESIDENT OF CITY COUNCIL TO EXECUTE THE APPLICATION
WHEREAS,
The General Assembly of the State of Colorado declared in Title 43 of the Colorado
Revised Statutes, Article 10, 1991 ("the Act") in C.R.S. 43-10-101 "...that there
exists a need to promote the safe operations and accessibility of general aviation in
this state; that improvements to general aviation transportation facilities will promote
diversified economic development across the state; and that accessibility to airport
facilities for residents of this state is crucial in the event of a medical or other type of
emergency...".
The Act created the Colorado Aeronautical Board ("the Board") to establish policies
and plans for the growth and development of aviation in the state, and to establish
procedures for the administration and distribution of monies credited to the aviation
fund to be used solely for aviation purposes at public-accessible airports, including
procedures for the state aviation system grant program. SEE, C.R.S. 43-10-105 of
the Act.
The Act created the Division of Aeronautics ("the Division") to support the Board in
fulfilling its duties. The duties of the Division in supporting the Board include
providing administrative support to the Board in the distribution of monies credited to
the aviation fund for aviation purposes, providing advisory assistance to airports
providing access to the public, including technical and planning assistance, and
implementing/administering the state aviation system grant program established
solely for aviation purposes. SEE, C.R.S. 43-10-103 and C.R.S. 43-10-108.5 of the
Act.
Any entity operating a public-accessible airport in the state may apply to the Division
for a state aviation system grant to be used solely for aviation purposes. SEE,
C.R.S. 43-10-102(3) and 43-10-108.5(2) of the Act.
The City of Pueblo is a public-accessible airport or an entity operating such an
airport in the state and has filed an application with the Division and the Board for a
state aviation system grant to be used solely for aviation purposes.
The Division is authorized to assist only those public-accessible airports or entities
operating such airports that request assistance by means of a resolution passed by
the governing board of the airport or entity and forwarded to the Division. SEE,
C.R.S. 43-10-103(5) of the Act.
The City of Pueblo understands that if it is awarded a grant by the State, any
disbursement of grant funds to the City of Pueblo shall be contingent upon the prior
receipt by the State of a resolution that has been adopted by the duly authorized
governing body of the City of Pueblo and that expressly satisfies certain grant
procedures and requirements, as described below.
The City of Pueblo desires to request such grant assistance by means of this
resolution passed by City of Pueblo's duly authorized governing board, in order to
comply with C.R.S. 43-10-103(5) of the Act and to satisfy certain grant procedures
and requirements. The City of Pueblo intends that this resolution:
a)
designate the individual authorized by the City of Pueblo to
execute the application on its behalf and to act in all related
matters as the City of Pueblo's Project Director for the project
proposed in the Application, as described in the Division's Grant
Program Project Management Manual ("the Manual"); and
b)
commits the City of Pueblo to comply with all terms and
conditions of the application and all guidelines, policies,
procedures, and requirements described in the Manual if a
grant for the project is awarded to the City of Pueblo by the
Board; and
c)
obligate the City of Pueblo to appropriate or otherwise make
available in a timely manner sufficient funds, if any, that are
required from the City of Pueblo for the application project.
