TITLE
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF $25,000 FROM THE
CONTINGENCIES ACCOUNT IN THE 2008 GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO THE
AIRPORT ENTERPRISE FUND TO FUND THE PUEBLO AIR SERVICE PROMOTIONAL
CAMPAIGN
ISSUE
In 2006, the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce began a promotional campaign to market the
benefits of flying from the Pueblo Memorial Airport. Since the promotional campaign began,
the Airport and Great Lakes Aviation have experienced a significant increase in passenger
traffic. The Airport Advisory Committee has attributed this increase to the efforts of the
campaign. In November 2007, Great Lakes Aviation was again awarded the Essential Air
Service contract for the next two years. This contract authorizes enhanced changes to the flight
schedule that would include an early morning flight and an evening flight that would better
accommodate the business traveler. Due to these schedule changes and the recent successes of
the air service marketing campaign, the Airport Advisory Committee has requested $25,000 to
continue the promotional efforts in 2008. The Committee expects to receive cash contributions
from Great Lakes Aviation and Pueblo County as well as in -kind contributions from various
businesses that have supported them in the past.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $25,000 will be transferred from the Contingencies Account in the 2008
General Fund Budget (see attached spreadsheet for the balance in the Contingencies Account).
