RE: Texas Department of Transportation Fiscal Year 2001-2002 Entitlement Grant
Funds for Fencing Improvements at the Airport
Dear Judge Henneke:
The airport has recently experienced problems with deer and antelope on the runways and
active areas. City staff has completed an inventory of the type and condition of the airport
fencing and has determined that of the approximately 4.5 total miles of fence, better than 3
miles are in poor condition and need to be replaced. A proposal has been made to begin a
program of fence replacement and improvement that reflects both the need to keep wildlife off
the airport as well as control public access to active areas.
Recently Congress again passed legislation that provided grant funds specifically entitled for
general aviation airports across Texas, and the Kerrville airport has been included in this
program. A preliminary estimate of $148,000 could install new fencing to limit both wildlife and
public access to the ramp area of the airport, and replace the majority of the existing fence that
is in poor condition. The estimate is within the funds available to the airport through an
entitlement grant of $150,000. The entitlement funding would require $16,667 in matching
funds from the airport, which were not specifically included in the FY2001/02 budget.
n
co
The FY2001/02 Airport Fund has $65,000 in line item 513 "Grant Expenses" designated for AIP
property acquisition in RPZ. Each property acquisition is treated as a separate grant by TxDOT,
and will require the airport to match 10% at conclusion of the purchase. At this point half way
through the FY2001/02 budget year, TxDOT is still unable to tell me what property or
easements the airport needs to purchase, because the Master Plan Airport Layout Plan (ALP) is
still in review by the FAA for approach and airspace determinations. When the ALP is released
by the FAA to TxDOT, land purchase or easement acquisition can be determined. With the
current timeline, it is unlikely that all property or easement acquisition can be accomplished in
this budget year. If the Kerrville City Council and Kerr County Commissioner's Court determine
it is in the best interest of the airport to do the fencing project with entitlement funds, staff
proposes to use $16,667 of the $65,000 budgeted for AIP property grant match, and replace the
funds in the FY2002/03 budget.

THE CIiV OF
KERRVILLE, TEXAS
At the April 10, 2002 meeting of the Kerrville/Kerr County Joint Airport Board, the Board
recommended applying for entitlement grant funds for fencing improvements at the airport. The
proposed fencing improvements will improve the wildlife resistance of the airport perimeter, but
will not prevent white tail deer from entering the airport over even the best of our existing fence.
The eventual replacement of all existing fence with game fence will provide the best protection
for the airport operations areas.
Thank you,
I!~ ~aU

Airport Manager
