COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 28, 2019
TO: President Dennis E. Flores and Members of City Council
CC: Nicholas A. Gradisar, Mayor
VIA: Brenda Armijo, Acting City Clerk
FROM: Ian Turner, Director of Aviation
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA AND THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL
CORPORATION, FOR THE RELEASE OF LOT 51 IN THE PUEBLO MEMORIAL
RD
AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL PARK SUBDIVISION 3 FILING, AND AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAME
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance approves an Agreement with the United States of America for the release of land
in the Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial Park Subdivision.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Since 1970, City Council has approved the release of 46 Lots in the Pueblo Memorial Airport
Industrial Park to various businesses.
BACKGROUND
This agreement with the United States of America is for the release of Lot 51 in the Pueblo
Memorial Airport Industrial Park so that it may be sold to Mesa Fabrication. The United States of
America transferred ownership of the airport property to the City on July 20, 1948. This transfer
carried with it a number of obligations, restrictions, and conditions. These obligations, restrictions,
and conditions are also carried with all federal grant funding accepted by the City. The most recent
grant acknowledging these obligations, restrictions, and conditions was accepted on August 13,
2018 by Ordinance #9318. Lot 51 of the Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial Park is surplus
property because it is disconnected from the primary airport property and is better suited for other
uses. The agreement with the United States of America will release this lot from the federal
obligations, restrictions, and conditions, allowing it to be used for purposes not related to the
airport such that the property use does not interfere with the safe use of the Pueblo Memorial
Airport.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The amount of $74,000, which is the appraised value of Lot 51 (.97 acres of land), is to be
deposited into the Special Airport Improvement Trust Fund upon acceptance of the Deed of
Release received from the FAA.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, the land will not be released.
RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
