RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE NAME CHANGE OF THE RIVERSIDE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (KRAL) TO THE RIVERSIDE AIRPORT (KRAL).
WHEREAS, the Riverside Municipal Airport (KRAL) continues to explore alternatives to elevate the airport clientele and generate additional revenues; and WHEREAS, the “Municipal” designation in the Airport’s name, owing to the City’s ownership and operation, while once well-respected, now has a “small airport” connotation; and WHEREAS, this does not effectively attract new business or indicate the airport is in growth mode and seeking additional based tenants, including business aviation operators and aeronautical businesses; and WHEREAS, Southern California airports that share a “Municipal” name tend to be small and somewhat limited in their potential to attract new business; and WHEREAS, in order to generate renewed enthusiasm for the Airport and attract the interest of business aviation operations, as well as promote the Westside Development, the Riverside Municipal Airport (KRAL) desires to change its name to the Riverside Airport (KRAL); and WHEREAS, on June 13, 2024, the Airport Commission unanimously approved the renaming of the Riverside Municipal Airport (KRAL) to the Riverside Airport (KRAL).
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Riverside, as follows:
Section 1: That the Riverside Municipal Airport (KRAL) shall be named and known as the Riverside Airport (KRAL).
Section 2: That City staff shall install the necessary signs and make official notification to effect this resolution.
Section 3: The provisions of this resolution shall be operative upon adoption. / /
ADOPTED by the City Council this ____ day of _______________, 2026. _________________________________
