III. Airport Regulations and Minimum Standards Draft Discussion
Marlene Mandt requested an electronic copy of the Airport Leasing Policies. Mr. Wilson will
see that one is provided to her.
Mr. O’Halloran clarified that the items to be re-visited and re-written are ongoing actions. The
committee will be reviewing them at the next meeting. He then directed our attention to the
night’s task at hand. The members would be going through the Airport Regulations and
Minimum Standards starting tonight at Section 3.6 on page 23 of and work through the end of
Section 3.8 on page 32.
Page 23 :
Section 3.6: Requirements Applicable to all Operators
3.6.1 Requirement of a Written Lease or Operating Permit
General: Wording within the title shall be capitalized.
a. This paragraph will be re-visited. It needs to reference back to the Airport Leasing Policies.

b. In the last sentence, after the word “to ” delete the words “any existing and future ” and
insert the word “ the ”.
c. This paragraph needs to be re-visited. Mr. Zulauf compared this to which came first – the
chicken or the egg, when discussing the length of time needed to obtain an operating
permit. Discussion centered on the need to begin operations before the permit was
actually in hand. It is not uncommon for it to require six months or longer to finalize the
process.
Marcie Palmer questioned whether the process could be shortened. Mr. Zulauf explained
the full process involves legal approvals for all parties, followed by Council action. It is the
entire process that is necessary and responsible for the lengthy delays.
Diane Paholke would like to see a sunset clause worked into the re-write.
Section 3.6.2: Annual Reporting Requirements and Notification of Changes
General: Wording within the title shall be capitalized.
The first sentence is changed to read: “Operators shall report within 30 days any changes
pertaining to the information listed in 3.6.1, above.”
Section 3.6.2: Site Development and Maintenance Standards for FBOs and SFBOs
General: Wording within the title shall be capitalized.
b. Delete the word “ incumbent ” and insert the words “ existing leaseholder ”.
c. Staff needs to check the reference back to Title 14 CFR for accuracy as to intent.
There was also discussion about the recently re-done taxiways now encroaching upon some
of the lessees’ properties and the possibility of becoming “grandfathered” insofar as their
previously approved property/building lines.

No changes were noted by the committee.
Page 25 :
Under item 10, delete the word “ will ” and insert the word “ shall ”.

Section 3.6.4 Personnel
a. Change the sentence to read: “ Each operator shall provide a fully qualified, competent,
experienced on-site manager during operating hours who shall supervise and direct the
performance of all services provided by the operator.”

operates a fixed base, or specialized fixed base, operation or whoever does maintenance
work on aircraft. ”

5. In the first sentence, after the word “ maintain ” insert the words “ storage tank liability
insurance ” followed by a comma (,).
In the second sentence, delete the words “ on-site ” and insert the words “ on-Airport ”.
The next correct sequence should read “ b”, not “ c”.
Delete the first six words in the second sentence (“ The contract shall be protected by ”) and
insert “The City may require” in their place.
Ryan Zulauf is to verify with the City Attorney that the remaining language in b. is still
appropriate as written.

a. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, insert the words “ for a minimum of three (3)
years ” between the words “ operator ” and “ and ”.
Page 28 :
3.6.9 Certifications
There was discussion of the necessity for this paragraph because the certifications are already a
requirement of the FAA. The need to provide copies of the certificates appears to be
redundant. Ryan Zulauf will investigate the reasoning or intent of this paragraph.
3.6.10 Motor vehicles on the AOA change this to read:
3.6.10 Motor Vehicles on the Aircraft Operations Area (AOA)
Page 29 :
a. In the second sentence, after the words “ fuel fee ” and before the period (.), insert the
words “ on fuel dispensed on the Airport ”.
Add language to this section pertaining to auditing records.
b. In the first line, after the letters “ FBO ” delete the word “ must ” and insert the word “ shall ”.
At the end of the sentence, move the period to end the sentence after the word “ batteries ”
and delete the words “ and energizing starters ”.
c. Insert “ listed in b, above ” before the comma (,).
3. Add the words “ or charter ” so it reads “ Aircraft rental or charter; ”
d. After the word “ requirements ” and before the word “ and ”, insert a comma (,) and the
words “ including insurance ” followed by another comma (,).
e. Insert a period (.) after the words “ professional manner” and delete the remainder of the
sentence.
Page 30 :
i. Delete the word “ subtenants ” and insert the word “ lessees” in its place. In the last
sentence move the period (.) so the sentence ends after the word “ area ”, and delete the
last four words “ and keep it clean ”.
