Background Information
This request is to amend the Texas Aviation Partners (TAP) contract #210-073 to continue provision of an additional amount up to $90,500.00 per fiscal year to the Operator to be used for the temporary hiring of additional Airport staff and other contract services for airport management and operations and the implementation of the Updated Airport Master Plan for a total amount up to $362,000.00 over four years.
The continued additional funding per fiscal year is at the discretion of the City considering factors affecting the Airport Fund including, but not limited to, fund reserve requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, and future airport planning and operational activities.
The amount of $90,500.00 was initially added to the TAP contract for the period of FY22 through FY25 utilizing Federal Aviation Administration Coronavirus grant funding. At this time, airport revenues are forecasted to have available capacity for an increase up to this amount each fiscal year.
If the decision is made to implement an increase this year for FY26, a mid-year budget amendment is planned and Finance can include the changes in revenues and expenses.
