nnnmrn�i l
The City Council of the City of Pueblo does hereby express
its intention to enter into an agreement with Trans World Airlines
(TWA) for the provision of air service at Pueblo Memorial Airport
subject to the execution and delivery of a mutually acceptable
definitive two year contract between the City and TWA generally
providing that:
(a) TWA will furnish one -stop (Colorado Springs, Colorado)
air service between Pueblo, Colorado and its hub at St. Louis,
Missouri on at least two flights per day, one departing Pueblo no
later than 8:30 A.M. and the other arriving at Pueblo between 8:45
and 9:15 P.M., seven days per week, by jet aircraft of at least
120 passenger size. TWA will pay all normal landing fees,
charges, and counter and office space rents paid to the City by
other air carriers at Pueblo Memorial Airport. TWA will furnish
its own ground support equipment and services.
(b) TWA's Pueblo fares will be the same as those for
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
(c) City will guarantee annual gross revenues of $2,000,000
for such air service, provided City's maximum annual cost will not
exceed $500,000, i.e., if TWA's annual gross revenues are less
than $2,000,000, City will pay the difference between the
$2,000,000 guarantee and actual gross revenues up to a maximum of
$500,000 per year. The revenues and guarantee will be computed
annually at the end of each contract year, and if gross revenues
in either year exceed $2,000,000 such excess shall be credited
toward any deficiency in the other year. TWA will furnish monthly
revenue statements to the City.
(d) The term "gross revenue" means and includes all TWA's
revenues from passengers and freight using any TWA air service to
or from Pueblo, Colorado and TWA's revenues from Pueblo area pass-
engers who purchase airline tickets through Pueblo area travel
agents using any TWA air service to or from Colorado Springs,
Colorado.
