SUBJECT:
Authorize Transfer in the Amount of $1,071,641.00 from the Airports Gas Lease Project Fund to the
Municipal Airports Fund for Improvements at Alliance Air Traffic Control Tower, Subject to Full
Reimbursement by the Federal Aviation Administration Through Their Lease of the Tower and Adopt
Appropriation Ordinances (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Airports Gas Lease Project Fund in the amount of$1,071,641.00 from available funds; and
2. Authorize the transfer in the amount of $1,071,641.00 from the Airports Gas Lease Project Fund to the
Municipal Airports Fund for the Alliance Air Traffic Control Tower Improvement Project, subject to full
reimbursement by the Federal Aviation Administration through their lease of the Tower; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Municipal Airports Fund in the amount of$1,071,641.00 from available funds.
DISCUSSION:
On July 19, 2011, (M&C C-25041) the City Council approved a transfer in the amount of$1 ,267,000.00
from the Aviation Gas Lease Project Fund to the Municipal Airports Fund for the purpose of financing
major repairs to the Alliance Air Traffic Control Tower (Tower). The Aviation Department was in
negotiations with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to take over ownership and maintenance of
the Tower. The completion of the repairs was dependent on whether or not the FAA would take
ownership of the facility.
On June 6, 2012, (M&C G-17616) the City Council approved a transfer in the amount of$1,071,641.00
from the Municipal Airports Fund to the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund for the Aviation
Department's portion of ERP Phase 11. Rather than appropriating dollars from the Airport Gas Lease
Project Fund to cover the contribution, the Aviation Department opted to use the previously appropriated
dollars from the Alliance Air Traffic Control Tower project to fund the department's portion of the ERP
Phase I I Project. After this transfer was completed, the FAA chose not to take ownership of the Tower or
to take over the maintenance of the facility.
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to transfer funds from the Aviation Gas
Lease Project Fund to the Municipal Airports Fund in the amount of$1,071,641.00 in order to move
forward with the Alliance Air Traffic Control Tower project. Improvements to the Tower include new HVAC
Equipment and Control System, roof replacement, replacement of the fabric cone, sidewalk repair,

Department paying 100 percent of the costs and being reimbursed the full cost by the FAA through their
lease of the Tower.
The Alliance Air Traffic Control Tower is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.

and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current operating
