MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Director of Public Works
DATE: November 3, 2022
SUBJECT: Airport Commission Capital Projects Priorities List
The purpose of this memo is to provide direction and clarification to commissions in submission
of Capital Projects for Council consideration. The attached list of projects specific to the Airport
Commission only, is intended to verify the recommendations of the Airport Commission, and to
establish a priority for one proposed project over another. This list will then be incorporated into
the “Draft” Capital Improvement Plan 2024-2028 which will highlight all project priorities from all
Departments within the City.
For this evening’s commission meeting please verify the attached list meets the intentions of the
Airport Commission and make the following motion:
Motion
The Commission should understand this list does not mean these projects will be completed
within the indicated years. They are a request to the Administration and Council for their
consideration, and the ability of the City to complete them will be subject to available funds. The
Commission should expect that some or all of the projects may be moved with the overall CIP
plan in an effort to provide the best chance for their completion. Some of them may be removed
altogether, for reconsideration at a later date to allow others an opportunity to be funded.
I would like to say thank you to everyone for providing input toward the development of this plan.
Your efforts insure our resources are directed toward meeting the needs of our community. I
would like to encourage commission members to attend the annual Special Work Session where
Council will be presented with and discussing the Capital Improvement Plan. The Commission’s
support is respectfully requested.
“I move to approve the Airport Commission Capital Improvement Projects Priority List
for inclusion within the Draft FY2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan.”
