Manager, kabynon@santafenm.gov)
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed consulting services to assist the Santa Fe
Regional Airport in addressing compliance and regulatory deficiencies identified through
recent oversight by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA). These issues were not previously identified through the
Airport’s internal processes, and the recent FAA and TSA reviews have highlighted areas
where additional specialized expertise is needed to bring the Airport’s programs and
procedures into compliance.
The consultants will assist the Airport in evaluating the identified deficiencies, developing
corrective actions, updating required policies and procedures, and establishing
sustainable processes to ensure continued compliance with FAA and TSA requirements.
The services will also include assistance with addressing wildlife hazards on Airport
property, including the appropriate relocation of prairie dogs in accordance with applicable
requirements. Staff believes these services are necessary to address the identified issues
in a timely and comprehensive manner, reduce regulatory and operational risk, and
strengthen the Airport’s overall compliance program. The proposed consulting services are
