RE: |
January 26, 2010 Agenda Item Update Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan |
Please include the following item on the City Commission consent agenda for consideration at the January 26, 2010 meeting:
Background. The Airport Master Plan was last completed in 1990 and an updated ALP (Airport Layout Plan) was completed in 2000. Many projects have been completed since that time (attached list/FAA letter). With the recent development focus for aviation related business, extension of utilities, and platting, a current plan is necessary.
Project Details. In addition to the Airport Master Plan and updated Layout Plan the project would identify all facilities using GPS (Global Positioning Survey). A revised look at the City’s Airport Improvement Plan (AIP) would also be included.
A current Master plan is used to support grant applications for improvements to the airport. The master plan is eligible for 95% funding from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and 5% from the City.
Action Request. Authorize staff to receive proposals/qualifications for the development of the Airport Master Plan.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles F. Soules, P.E.
