City Clerk’s Office Item # M-6
Background Paper for Proposed
Resolution
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 10, 2018
TO: President Christopher A. Nicoll and Members of City Council
CC: Sam Azad, City Manager
VIA: Brenda Armijo, Acting City Clerk
FROM: Ian Turner, Director of Aviation
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL
CORPORATION, TO FILE AN APPLICATION FOR A COLORADO AVIATION
GRANT WITH THE COLORADO AERONAUTICS BOARD AND THE
DIVISION OF AERONAUTICS FOR A PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT
MASTER PLAN, AND AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF AVIATION TO
SUBMIT THE ONLINE APPLICATION ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF
PUEBLO
SUMMARY:
This Resolution will authorize the filing of an online application for a Colorado Aviation Grant
with the Colorado Aeronautics Board and the Division of Aeronautics for a Pueblo Memorial
Airport Master Plan.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND
Airport Master Plans are recommended by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The
last completed Airport Master Plan for the Pueblo Memorial Airport was completed in 1992,
with updates completed as recently as 2007. The old plan has been completed. An Airport
Master Plan looks at the next 20-years and establishes a strategy to meet the identified goals
and needs. A new plan is necessary to establish goals and expected needs for the continued
modernization of the airport.
In addition to the above, FAA Grant Assurances require all airports to maintain a current
Airport Layout Plan. The Airport most recently accepted a grant in 2018 which renewed this
obligation. While the Pueblo Memorial Airport Layout Plan is current, it should be updated to
reflect the future development identified by the Airport Master Plan.
This application is for a state match to the FAA Grant application.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The total Federally eligible project is estimated at $473,685.00. The application for a
Colorado Aviation Grant is for one-half of the local share of the total Federally eligible project,
or $11,842.00. With the approval of City Council, an Application for Federal Assistance will
be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration for $450,000.00 of the project cost. The
City’s local match on the grant is estimated to be $11,843.00. Funds are available within the
Capital Improvement Project Account CIAN18 – Grant Matches Airport.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
If the Airport Master Plan is not done, it will be difficult for the Airport to justify future Federally
eligible projects.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of the Department of Aviation that the request to submit a Colorado
Aviation Grant application be approved.
