Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to develop an electronic Airport Layout Plan (eALP). The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) requires the Aviation Department to maintain an Airport Layout Plan (ALP)

of $12,850.00. The total cost of this project is in the amount of $128,508.00.
An ALP is a key communication document between an airport owner and the FAA. It represents an
understanding between the airport owner and the FAA regarding the current and future development and
operation of the airport. The FAA uses the ALP for:
• Aeronautical studies of proposals for the development of nearby airports and objects that may affect
the navigable airspace, and proposals for on- airport development;
• Site locations of new and relocated FAA facilities and equipment;
• Analysis of operational changes;
• Development of new standard instrument approach procedures; and
• Determination of land needed for aeronautical purposes, and the proper use of land sale proceeds.
This request has been reviewed and recommended for approval by the Aviation Advisory Board.
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
receipt of the grant, and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the
current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Airports Grant Fund.
