RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to apply for and execute, if awarded, a grant agreement relating to the
respective duties and obligations of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the City
under the grant for the development of a permanent Air Traffic Control Tower at Fort Worth Spinks
Airport (Spinks) from TxDOT in the amount of $1,000,000; and
2. Authorize the transfer of funds from the Airport Operating Fund to the Airport Grant Fund in the
amount of $100,000; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
amount of $1,000,000 in the Airport Grant Fund, subject to receipt of the grant; and
4. Adopt the attached resolution certifying that $100,000 in City funds will be available as a 10% match
for a grant from the TxDOT Aviation Division in the amount of $1,000,000 for the design and
development of a permanent Air Traffic Control Tower at Spinks.
DISCUSSION:
The TxDOT Aviation Division has notified the City that a grant is tentatively available to fund the design
and development of a permanent Air Traffic Control Tower at Spinks. The addition of the permanent
control tower would significantly enhance the airport's operational capabilities and make Spinks eligible
for entry into the Federal Aviation Administration Cost Share Program. Staff has been operating a
portable Air Traffic Control Tower at Spinks since April 8, 2001, and has provided positive control for
over 190,000 mishap-free flight operations. The addition of the permanent control tower will help
facilitate -moving Spinks- to the next- level for operational capabilities, and -will serve as one of the
milestones the City has accomplished in ensuring the promotion and development of the airport for out
years.
Staff would like to use $100,000 from savings in the Municipal Airports Operating Fund for the City's
10% match for the development of a permanent control tower at Spinks. Because of expenditure
savings due to staff turnover, the Municipal Airports Operating Fund projects to have revenues in
excess of expenditures in the current fiscal year. It is recommended that these expenditure savings be
used for the $100,000 match requirement.
