VIII. Other Business
A. Jerry Steinauer – History
Jerry was Mayor when the airport was started. He gave some history
about the development of the airport. 1980 it was a dirt runway. He
talked about Southard and others participation in the development. First
runway was the taxiway. It was 9,000’ long. The Town only paid for was
a bond issue for $200K to buy the oil for the asphalt. Then they got FAA
funding for the runway. Crosswind runway cut was made a long time
ago. Never used but you can see it.
Jerry has Ron Southard’s history of the airport which is very thick. He
and Dr. Howard developed. The terminal buildings were built in Telluride,
Eagle and BV. There were issues between the Town and Mr. Southard.

MEMORANDUM FOR Central Colorado Regional Airport (CCRA) Staff, Advisors and Customers
SUBJECT: CCRA Safety Policy
FROM: CCRA Airport Manager
1. This letter establishes the Central Colorado Regional Airport’s (CCRA) safety policy statement.
With continued growth, increasing operations and more capital improvements breaking ground,
this is the time to renew our commitment to ensuring a safe environment for our community, our
employees and our customers.
2. CCRA Management is responsible for proactive measures to identify hazards, assess risk, and
correct hazards or apply mitigating controls as appropriate, everywhere on airport property. The
airport manager is the accountable executive for all of the airport’s safety related matters.
3. The airport’s proactive safety processes will be organized under a Safety Management System
(SMS) to ensure a coordinated and consistent approach to managing risk. The airport operations
specialist will lead the execution of processes under the SMS. The airport advisory board will assist
the airport staff by providing advice, audits and oversight of the SMS. Hazard reports and
associated risk management actions will be documented via the airport’s risk management
program.
4. In any decision-making process related to planning and execution of airport operations, safety will
always have the highest priority above every other consideration. Everyone involved in airport
operations contributes to maintaining a safe operating environment. As such, every employee,
every customer and every visitor to our airport is empowered to report hazardous conditions they
observe, by any means available. Airport management, with the assistance of the airport advisory
board, will follow up on every report by assessing the risk, applying mitigating controls when a
hazard cannot be immediately corrected.
5. Please refer any questions regarding this safety policy to the airport’s Operations Specialist via
email to ccraops@buenavistaco.gov
