INTRODUCED November 13, 1995 BY Charles Jones APPROVED: President of City Council ATTEST: �=E �- City Clerk 1� v� Arm FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION May 19, 1995 Mr. James P. Elwood, Director of Aviation Pueblo Memorial Airport 31201 Bryan Circle Pueblo, Colorado 81001 Dear Mr. Elwood: Pueblo Memorial Airport Passenger Facility Charge k'PFC) DENVER AIRPORTS DISTRICT OFFICE 5440 ROSLYN STREET, SUITE 300 DENVER, COLORADO 80216 -6026 (303) 286-5545 I am writing to follow -up on previous conversations about your PFC and the project within it, rehabilitate and overlay apron. For many years the FAA has approved the sale of Pueblo Memorial Airport land originally transferred to the City of Pueblo under the Provisions of the Surplus Property Act of 1944. One of the terms of each approval has been an Agreement between the Unites States of America and the City of Pueblo. In those agreements the city agreed to expend the net sale proceeds for airport development. One of the items of airport development used by the city to expend the sale proceeds has been the apron rehabilitation and overlay that was requested in your PFC application we received on April 23, 1993. In approving your PFC, the FAA erroneously approved the project "rehabilitate and overlay apron." It is not allowable to use the proceeds from the sale of surplus property to pay for development and then collect passenger facility charge moneys for the same expenditure. We were not aware of the funding history of the apron rehabilitation and overlay. We apologize for the oversight and will work with you to amend your approved PFC. While reviewing your PFC program we notice the two year start time for the land acquisition is August 16, 1995. Since land acquisition will by not be occurring prior to August it is necessary to delete the land project from the PFC. Once land acquisition begins we would certainly be receptive to processing another application that represents the city's matching share of land costs. Because of the two situations described above, we ask that you submit to our office a request to remove the apron and land projects from the PFC. And, of course, removing these two items will significantly change the estimated charge expiration date for the balance of the PFC. We estimate a revised date to be in 1997. Sincerely, elc-%- Nance Earley, Supervisor l5 1 0 V I Colorado Section 22Pcf) iV
