TITLE
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL
ASSISTANCE BY THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, FROM THE
FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION TO REHABILITATE TAXIWAY D AND A
PORTION OF THE AIRCRAFT PARKING APRON AT PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT
AND AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF CITY COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME
ISSUE
Should City Council authorize the filing of an application for federal assistance from the Federal
Aviation Administration to rehabilitate Taxiway D and a portion of the aircraft parking apron at
the Pueblo Memorial Airport?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
This application is for the request of grant funding to rehabilitate Taxiway D and a portion of the
aircraft parking apron at the airport. Taxiway D needs to be rehabilitated and updated to meet
FAA standards and the aircraft parking apron to the north of the self-serve facilities is in need of
rehabilitation. The funds requested with this application are for 95% of the funds needed for the
project. A State grant has been requested that will fund 2.5% of the project and the City’s
obligation will be 2.5%.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total project is estimated at $2,631,580. The application for federal assistance is for
$2,500,000. The Colorado Aeronautical Board has approved and will issue a grant for $56,578
for this project based on an earlier estimate of the total project costs. Since the FAA has
increased the funding for the project, the State Aeronautics Division has agreed to take an
amendment to the Colorado Aeronautical Board for an additional $9,212 for their approval. The
City's local match will be $65,790. Matching funds are available in the CIAN18-Grant Projects
fund.
