SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION REESTABLISHING THE PUEBLO MEMORIAL
AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND REPEALING RESOLUTION
NO. 10727
SUMMARY:
A Resolution reestablishing the Pueblo Memorial Airport Advisory Committee
(“Committee”) and repealing Resolution No. 10727.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
The Airport Advisory Committee was established pursuant to Resolution No. 8793 on
September 13, 1999. On May 22, 2006, Resolution No. 10727 repealed Resolution No.
8793 and reestablished the Committee to allow eleven (11) members to be appointed
by City Council and changed the membership designations to include at least two (2)
members designated by the Pueblo County Board of Commissioners and one (1)
member as a commercial service operator at the Pueblo Memorial Airport.
BACKGROUND
Resolution No. 10727 grants City Council the authority to appoint members to the
Airport Advisory Committee. However, with the change from a Council-City Manager
form of government to a Mayor-Council form of government, the Resolution is out of
date and fails to incorporate Pueblo City Charter Section 2-5 as amended. The
document establishing the Committee needs to be updated in accordance with the new
Charter language.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve the Resolution, the document authorizing the
Committee will remain the same and not be updated for the new form of Mayor-Council
government.
