TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION BY THE CITY
OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, FOR FEDERAL GRANT
ASSISTANCE FROM THE US -DOT THROUGH THE "SMALL COMMUNITY AIR
SERVICE DEVELOPMENT GRANT PROGRAM" FOR COMMERCIAL AIR
SERVICE AT PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT AND RATIFYING THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY THEREOF BY THE CITY MANAGER
ISSUE
Should City Council authorize a request and application for a US -DOT grant to support
commercial air service at Pueblo Memorial Airport.
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Small Community Air Service Development Program uses federal funds to support
communities working to attract or improve air service. Congress appropriated
approximately $10 million for up to a total of 40 grants this year to help communities
address their local air service problems such as insufficient levels of service. Grant funds
to the selected communities are available on a reimbursable basis under which the City
would expend funds related to implementation of the approved grant project, and then
seek reimbursement from the US -DOT at regular intervals (usually monthly) for project
expenditures.
On January 23 City Council approved the transfer of $10,000 from the contingencies
account to the out of cycle requests to fund the Pueblo Air Service Promotional
Campaign. Since that time, the Airport Advisory Committee has determined that the
current flight schedule is not conducive to the business traveler thus hindering the
marketing efforts. If the City is awarded a grant under the Small Community Air Service
Program, it will assist with not only the marketing of the air service but it will also serve
as a revenue guarantee for an additional flight that would be convenient for the business
traveler.
The grant application deadline was April 7, 2006. Therefore, the City Manager approved
the application and it was submitted. However, if City Council does not approve the
submittal of the application, it can be withdrawn.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
US -DOT will give priority to proposals from communities that contribute financially to
the project. Funds in the amount of $350,000 have been requested. The following is a
