DATE: June 2, 1993 G`
On May 20, 1993 the Federal Aviation Administration inspected the
fire station located at the Pueblo Memorial Airport. The inspection
consisted of equipment test and training records, as well as other
items pertaining to airport operations. The FAA inspector has
ordered the Fire Department to have a training session that will
include an open pit fire. This pit fire is to be extinguished by
our airport fire trucks using foam and dry powder. The FAA has also
ordered us to repeat this exercise on a larger scale in September of
this year. Listed below is the present cost of foam and powder.
*Cost per full load of extinguishing agent.

Hopefully we can use 1/2 to 3/4 of a load each session. This would
amount to about $15,000 total cost. This amount was not in our 1993
budget. I am requesting that we amend our 1993 budget to include
this amount of $15,000 so we can maintain compliance with FAA
regulations.
If you have any further questions on this matter, please call.
Thank You.
