SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE FINDINGS OF AND ADOPTING THE NEW
AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
SUMMARY:
This Resolution accepts the findings of the Airport Master Plan study conducted by Mead & Hunt,
Inc. and adopts the new Airport Master Plan.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Ordinance No. 9512 was passed and approved on August 26, 2019, which accepted FAA Grant
No. 3-08-0046-37-2019 and established Project No. AP1901.
Ordinance No. 9513 was passed and approved on August 26, 2019, which approved an
Agreement for Professional Services for Mead and Hunt, Inc. to conduct the Airport Master Plan
project.
BACKGROUND:
Airport Master Plans are recommended by the FAA. The last Airport Master Plan for the Pueblo
Memorial Airport was completed in 1992, with updates completed as recently as 2007. The 1992
plan, including its updates, has been completed. An Airport Master Plan addresses the next 20-
years and establishes a strategy to meet identified 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 will be updated in accordance with
this Resolution to reflect the future development identified by the Airport Master Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Resolution is not passed, the Airport Master Plan will not be accepted and the City will
possibly come into conflict with FAA Grant Assurances.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of this Resolution.
