MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: March 12, 1991 SUBJECT: BUCHANAN FIELD AIRPORT TIEDOWN FEE INCREASE SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMIMM DATIONS)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I. Recommended Action: ADOPT resolution amending and superseding Resolution No. 91\397 in the matter of proposed rates, charges and regulations related thereto for space rental and activities at Buchanan Field Airport. II. Financial Impact: This is expected to increase the Airport revenues by $6,000 per year. 111. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: As we advised the Board last year, it is our intent to adjust the tiedown fees on an annual basis. This year we are recommending the increase be 3% which reflects the CPI change since the last rate increase. The annual increase in airport operating costs over the past 12 months have been approximately 8% over the preceding 12 months. There have, however, been some unusual items included in this increase therefore we are only recommending the CPI increase for the tiedown areas. These fees will only apply to the Buchanan Field Airport; increased fees will not apply to the Byron Airport. The Byron Airport is a substandard facilities and it is anticipated that adjustments will be made as soon as the new airport is developed after 1992.
