This acquisition is required to comply with the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150 Noise Study
for Alliance Airport. The City Council approved a Noise Compatibility Program on March 2, 2010 (M&C G-
16863) which was subsequently accepted by the Federal Aviation Administration on December 6, 2010.
This Noise Compatibility Program identified this property for acquisition.
The acquisition amount is based on an independent appraisal. This property is located south of Alliance
Airport and is a voluntary sale. The land will be cleared of the residential improvements and will then be
marketed and sold while retaining the necessary aviation rights. This purchase is eligible to be made with
Federal Aviation Administration Noise Grant funds; however, due to time constraints the Aviation
Department is utilizing mineral lease funds for the purchase and will seek reimbursement of expenses

from the FAA once Noise Grant funds are awarded. A request was made by City Council on March 8,
2011 (M&C G-17277) for these grant funds. The project expenses are eligible even if the grant is awarded
after the costs are incurred.
This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2, Mapsco 7T.

The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance funds will be available in the current operating
