AP1401-TERMINAL REMODEL FOR THE REMODELING OF THE AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING ISSUE Should City Council establish a Capital Project and budget and appropriate funds into it for the remodeling of the Airport Terminal building? RECOMMENDATION Approval of this Ordinance. BACKGROUND In 2010, the screening room in the Airport Terminal building was expanded for Allegiant Airlines taking up most of the lobby space in the building. Because of this expansion, the lobby and ticket counter areas are overcrowded during flight times, especially with larger flights. The Federal government has entered into an agreement with SkyWest Airlines to take over the Essential Air Service out of Pueblo beginning April 1, 2014. SkyWest Airlines will be utilizing larger aircraft that will accommodate more passengers. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $150,000 will be budgeted and appropriated from the Airport Reserves.
