Item A
A grant from the State of Colorado in the amount of $250,000 was approved by the Aeronautic
Board on September 30, 2005. The Resolution authorizes the Airport Director to accept the grant
on behalf of the Cities. The funds will be used to purchase the high-speed snow plow truck with
blade and power sweeper attachments. The snow removal equipment is needed to meet FAA
requirements for safety and time requirements for clearing snow and ice from the runway,taxiways,
ramp areas and access roads. The grant does require a local match of $46,000 and Fort Collins'
portion ($23,000) has been previously appropriated for this purpose.
Item B
Additional appropriations in the amount of$160,889 are needed for Airport improvements that are
listed on Attachment 1 - Airport Capital Improvement Summary with Funding Sources for Years
2005 and 2006 (the "Summary"). In order for the Cities to expend this amount, each City must
appropriate its half, $80,444.
November 2, 2005 -2- Item No. 6 A-B
The projects included on the Summary have been identified as high-priority and are supported by
the FAA and State Division of Aeronautics. The notable additional project on the Summary is the
purchase of a high-speed snow plow truck with blade and power sweeper. The Colorado
Aeronautical Board and the Division of Aeronautics awarded the Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal
Airport a grant in the amount of$250,000 for aviation purposes. A portion of the aforementioned
grant proceeds was previously appropriated for capital improvements in the 2005 Airport operating
budget and the Airport Manager recommends that unappropriated grant proceeds,totaling$160,889,
be appropriated and used with other, previously appropriated, Airport funds to purchase snow
removal equipment.
