SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 2491 (Costa)
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position in OPPOSITION to AB 2491 by Assemblyman Jim Costa which would restrict the ability of local
government to charge fees to off airport car rental companies and other businesses for the right to operate courtesy
vehicles on airport property.
BACKGROUND:
Currently, publicly owned and operated airports are entitled to charge off airport operators such as car rental
companies for the privilege of operating at the airport. AB 2491 would restrict the ability of the airport operator,
to charge a percentage of gross profits for the right to operate on the airport property. While an airport would have
the right to charge "reasonable and non-discriminatory" fees the bill would appear to prevent charging such'
businesses for revenue purposes. J
The Manager of Airports notes that this bill, which is sponsored by Alamo Rent-A-Car,would deprive the airport
of important revenue which it needs to continue to operate as an Enterprise Fund. This bill would allow these off
airport businesses the right of access over airport roads to operate their courtesy vehicles in order to pick up and
deliver their customers.
The Manager of Airports recommends that the Board of Supervisors oppose AB 2491 on the basis that the fees which
are charged should be determined by a process of negotiation without the restrictions which are contained in AB
2491. 'AB 2491, at the time of this writing, was in the Senate Local Government Committee.
