LOG NAME: 55FWS AVIATION GAS LEASE CAPITAL PROJECT APPROPRIATION
SUBJECT
(CD 6) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Increasing Receipts and Appropriations in the Aviation Gas Lease Capital Projects Fund in the Amount of
$1,765,062.00 from Available Funds for the Development of Hangars at Fort Worth Spinks Airport
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing receipts and appropriations in the Aviation Gas
Lease Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $1,765,062.00 from available funds for the development of hangars (City Project No.103079) at Fort
Worth Spinks Airport.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to distribute and appropriate funds in the amount of $1,765,062.00 for the
development of hangars at Fort Worth Spinks Airport (Airport).
The East Side Taxiway Improvements project at the Airport was completed in May of 2020, and consisted of constructing three new taxiways and
rehabilitating and replacing the existing Taxiway Charlie east of Runway 17R/35L. With the completion of these new paved surfaces, expansion
and future development on the east side of the Airport is now possible.
A hangar waitlist consisting of 125 aircraft exists at Spinks Airport. The construction of additional hangars adjacent to the newly constructed
taxiways (see attached map) will help address the current shortage of available hangers. Preliminary drawings of this project depict the design and
construction of hangars, as well as pavement connecting the hangars to the newly constructed Taxiway Mike. This project will be divided into
multiple phases to match available funding.
Since no City salaries will be charged to this project, indirect cost recovery does not apply.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Unspecified -All Funds project within the Aviation Gas Lease Cap Proj
Fund and upon approval of the above recommendation and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the
Aviation Gas Lease Cap Proj Fund for the FWS East Side Hanger Developme project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Aviation
Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
