Bond covenants require the transfer of any revenue in excess of requirements to the Airport Capital Fund which may be used for new airport development. The Airport Fund will continue management responsibility for the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport site and will absorb the costs required to maintain and operate the facility until the new airport opens. The budget provides additional funding for three new employees to maintain reuse facilities and an architect to manage new airport design. Three new employees are proposed to respond to increased passenger volume. One new position will address training needs for front-line employees.
Funding is provided to replace maintenance and fire fighting vehicles and shop equipment.
The budget provides funding to begin planning for future redevelopment of the Mueller Airport facility after the new airport opens. The budget documents are available for review in all public libraries. Additional information can be obtained from the Budget Office at 499-2610. Privacy Statement 2001 City of Austin, Texas .
