Airport Policy Advisory Committee Meeting - October 8, 2026

The City of Pueblo Airport Policy Advisory Committee met on October 8, 2026, to review draft airport minimum standards and rules and regulations. Discussion focused on aligning the documents with FAA requirements and grant assurances, clarifying treatment of ultralight and unmanned aircraft, removing an unused “based aircraft” definition, and making deadlines consistent. The committee also reviewed standards for commercial airport operators, including FBO fuel availability and backup equipment, flight-training service and customer availability, aircraft towing, and where permitted maintenance may occur. Members raised the need to check fire-code requirements with the city’s fire inspector before resolving the maintenance provisions. The transcript identifies no contract awards, purchases, budget allocations, or procurement votes.

No formal motions or votes were reported. Staff and committee members will revise the draft, clarify the maintenance/fire-code issue, and circulate comments and updated redlines for further review. The next meeting was planned for October 15; any eventual amendments adopted by the city would generally require an ordinance process. The committee also discussed developing bylaws and procedures for public comment.
