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-%-
