Council Member Schuchard –first let me apologize for the delay in response. I'm not sure why but this hotline message is not showing up in my outlook and it has only just come to my attention. 

We appreciate your sharing your thoughts and leave to your colleagues consideration of the same. We note, however, that the information you have outlined may require either a nod of 3 or 5 depending on the breadth of the research and information council would want staff to bring back. Some of these items, particularly around what constitutes local control in this context and funding sources used by airports outside of our jurisdiction, would require more extensive consideration and effort by staff in both Transportation and Mobility as well as the City Attorney's Office.

I’ll also note that staff had an opportunity today to meet with CDOT to clarify their position as to funding.

Attached, please find that letter which speaks for itself. 

Nuria Rivera-Vandermyde
