AP0501 FOR AN AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN UPDATE AT THE PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT AND AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME ISSUE Should City Council approve and accept a Federal Aviation Administration Grant Agreement and appropriate additional funds to Project No. AP0501. RECOMMENDATION Approval of this Ordinance. BACKGROUND The Airport Layout Plan is recommended by the FAA to be updated every few years in order to stay current. The previous update was completed in 2000. This grant will pay for 95% of the total project. In April 2004, City Council approved a grant agreement from the Colorado Aeronautical Board for the taxiway rehabilitation project. Since the State's share of that project came in considerably lower than expected, an amendment to the grant was approved by the State to pay for 2.5% of the Airport Layout Plan update project. The City's match will be 2.5% of the project. FINANCIAL IMPACT The total project amount is $157,895.00. The Federal grant is for $150,000.00. The State grant will cover $3,947.50 of the project and the City's local match will be $3,947.50. It was originally anticipated that the total amount of the project would be $150,000.00. This amount was appropriated and budgeted in Project No. AP0501. The increase to the City's matching funds is $197.50.
