purpose of transferring to the Municipal Airport Capital Projects Fund for the development of hangars at Fort Worth Spinks Airport and

3. Amend the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to distribute and appropriate funds 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 the 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.
Funding for this project was not included in the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program due to lack of funding. The action in this M&C will
amend the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 24446-09-2020.
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 within the Municipal Airport Fund and upon approval of the above
recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the Municipal Airport Capital Proj Fund for the
FWS East Side Hangar Developme project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Aviation Department has the responsibility of verifying the
availability of funds.
