Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Mark Lovin – Aviation Department SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGES (PFC) FOR ELIGIBLE PROJECTS AT PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT SUMMARY: This Resolution authorizes the expenditure of the Passenger Facility Charges (PFC) for eligible projects after the application has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On November 24, City Council approved Ordinance No. 8796 adopting a Passenger Facility Charge Program and authorizing the filing of an application to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to impose a $4.50 PFC fee on eligible enplaned passengers at Pueblo Memorial Airport. BACKGROUND The FAA requires a list of eligible projects be provided with the application to show what the PFCs will be expended on. The projects that are listed have either been completed or are in progress. The PFCs will reimburse the City for the matching funds that have been or will be expended on each project. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The maximum PFCs to be collected is $833,789. The expiration date of the new PFC collection will be April 1, 2036. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: All air carriers serving the Airport were notified via certified mail that the Airport is planning to file a PFC application and were invited to a public meeting that was held on November 19, 2014. None of the air carriers attended the public meeting nor did they send any response to the notice. ALTERNATIVES: If this Resolution is not approved, the application will be incomplete and the FAA will not approve it. Therefore, the Airport will no longer be able to collect these fees. RECOMMENDATION The Aviation Department recommends approval of this Resolution. Attachments: None.
