12 Long Term Recommenda�ons
1. Airport Masterplan update:
a. Priority:
High
b. Recommenda�on:
Move immediately forward with Airport Master Plan, last updated in 2004. An update to the plan is needed for long term FAA grant funding requests, to con�nue working on City goals, and the future development of the Airport.
Addressing the Masterplan will provide a road map for comple�on of many of the recommenda�ons iden�fied in the AMCG report. As an FAA eligible expense, a consultant should be hired to update the Master Plan and work with the Airport Commission, Airport public, and relevant City staff to update 20-year planning document. The Master Plan is not only necessary for the orderly con�nued opera�on and development of the Airport but is also necessary to move forward with the FAA Part 420 Spaceport applica�on process. c. Funding:
The Airport Master Plan update is eligible for FAA grant funding and is es�mated to cost a total of $600,000, currently the Master Plan update is programed for 2024. Of the $600,000 total cost, the City would be responsible to match 10% of the total grant amount or around $60,000. As the City con�nues to pursue its FAA Part 420 Spaceport License, the Airport Master Plan update should include a chapter on the proposed Spaceport. Spaceports are considered ineligible under current FAA eligibility requirements for Master Plans; thus, the Spaceport chapter will need to be self-funded by the City. Es�mates for the Spaceport chapter of the Master Plan are around $50,000.

Low
b. Recommenda�on:
As �me allows over the coming years, retain a professional marke�ng firm for Airport marke�ng program.

8. Air traffic control tower development:
a. Priority:
Medium, but priority will con�nue to increase as traffic increases at KPRB. b. Recommenda�on:
In the short term, explore alterna�ve methods of air traffic control during �me of necessity at the Airport. For the long term, explore both the op�ons of a tradi�onal traffic control tower and the op�on of virtual tower pilot program through the FAA tech ops center.
As part of the Airport Masterplan update, work with consultant to outline plan for when traffic control may be needed.
c. Funding:
No financial ask at this �me. As this recommenda�on becomes necessary in the future, normal budget making, and procurement procedures would be followed.
This would likely be an FAA grant funded project.
d. Regulatory guidance:
• An Airport is eligible for FAA funding of control tower at 100,000 opera�ons/year, current opera�ons at KPRB 44,000/year
