COMMITTEE REPORTS
1) Strategic Planning Committee Chair, Russ Jones, will provide a summary of the June 7, 2023, meeting.
Mr. Jones provided a brief summary of the June 7, 2023, meeting of the Strategic Planning Committee which included a discussion about the Airport’s Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP), and updates on Skydive San Luis, Potential Developments in the DCC, Terminal Flooring System and YPG Intergovernmental Service Agreement.
1) Discussion and possible action to adopt the Yuma International Airport 2024 - 2028 and Rolle Airfield 2025- 2029 Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) as presented.
Ms. Brown, Airport Director, described how the YCAA receives Federal and State grant funding in support of necessary capital improvements. The planning process necessary to obtain this funding involves the development of an Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) which is reviewed and ultimately approved by each grantor agency. An airports ACIP reflects its infrastructure investment plan intended to ensure the necessary resources are in place to meet its strategic goals. The Airport Director provided the schedule of estimated project costs and anticipated funding requests that have been developed and reminded the Board that the Strategic Planning Committee had in fact recommended approval by the Board of Directors. Ms. Brown informed the Board that upon approval, the ACIP would be formally submitted to the grantor agencies for funding consideration.
Ms. Brown, the Airport Director explained that Rolle Airfield Airport has its own Masterplan and infrastructure planning process. Since the airport does not qualify for FAA funding the following ACIP is proposed for ADOT funding purposes only. Due to the current status of the license agreement, the YCAA is not eligible to accept grants per the grant assurances. Ms. Brown described how staff continues to resolve this situation with Yuma County and Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) by working to establish a new license agreement between the YCAA and BOR. Until the new license agreement is in place, the YCAA will not accept any grants for Rolle Airfield.
Mr. Craft, the YCAA President, called for a motion to adopt the Yuma International Airport 2024 to 2028 and Rolle Airfield 2025 to 2029 Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) as presented and any minor revisions as discussed with the FAA and ADOT during the review process which will be in the upcoming weeks. Mr. Hager so moved. Mr. Jones seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
