Pursuant to the meeting on August 14, 1980 a �� .•� ,� garding FBO agree-
rr�n�s , we �ah provi dp some re�Ference i r�ferrr�atl ar��car�"c�rni ng �BO fee structure�.
We have reviewed FBO agreem�nts available �n our files far a number o� mur.i-
cipal airports in centra�i ane► western ..�that are camparable in airport
activity to�,, .�, ��-��� �
We find that fees charged for FBO operatians are not par icularly cons�stent
but there is a laose correlation wiih City population. �o�ulations o� the
above Cities range from Z50Q to 5300.
Fees for providing fligh� �raining services at these a�rports ran�e `rom
�100.00 per ,year ta �50Q,00 per year, The hic�her fees are at the larg�r
a Gommunities. The avGraae of these particular fees is about �300.00 per
yea��, I f the ��;�, .�����.��� ���_ ��.��.�� uthori ty chopses to use thi s i nforrr�ati on
it appears thaL an acczpt�bi� fee could b� es�ablished cansidering airport
aCtivity and carar�nzt� size. �
tti�ith regard ta rees for char�er servic2, maintenanc� and a�epair and �ircraft
sales and servicea there i:� a s�milar uar�ance. At the �r�a�ority of airpo�ts
th�se fees are lower than fQr flight instruction. ihi� can be justifie� in
LI1dL Li]e5t' �CL1V1L1�S usuaily repr�sent {e��i�i` airCl"dr� Opein�10�5 Nc� ;�cui'.
In sorrt� cases hangar rental is included in the fe^s which distorts the actual
' value of the opera��ng fee. If hangar rental is separated, use fees for these
services appea�� ta range from about 50�4 up to 100K of flight training services.
Fees for fuel ard cil sales are more diff�cult to assess. Tfiese are someti�es
combined with other functio�rs, are sometirr�s based on a per� aallon flowage fee
and in sam� cases ar� a s�ecifieu fee. Those fixed fe^s that can be identi-
fied a* these a�rports rang� from $60.�0 to �400.00� per year, Sorr� Sponsors
considei� that � fl�vraae fee is the most equitable arrangerr,�nt but a reasonable
fixed fee is acceptable. ,

Not all airports have spray ap�rators, bu�. for those that do, the fees are
again w�dely4,spread, p At airports wt�ich have spray plane pads, the �'ees are �
justifia�ly`i"Pi`gh�°, In' al-1 caseS' spray plane operations constitute a high
level of aircraft activity ir� s�ason. A1so, s�ray p1anE operations include
pro�lem�s of chemical storage, wash d�wns and potential contar�ination by
h�3Zdrd4�LS �tr��erials� Wic�her fees for spray plane Gperazions are a.ppropriate.
Fees are genprally from a few hundred da�lars p�r year.. �p ta �1500.Q0. There
�re a few cases where �arger �perators arre charged moree In the past, unless
there are special, circumstances such as the ar�rt�zat�an �� a �pec�ficall,y
construGted spray plare pad and wash dawn facility, this �epartrr�nt has �on-
sidercd spray aper�tian fees in the ranoe af �600.00 to $I500.Q0 per �ear to
be reasanabie._. Admittedly, there exist"ie�s 6oth lowL�° anQ higher than these,
`.I�.' ; N'�
� tv`� recoranend that the Auth4ritv tablish a new fee structure for aeronautical
servi ces to be provi ded at the -R ��; .��s -�x ��'-_ ;; nd i t i s hoped tl�e above
�nforrr�atian can be helpful , W en these havey een determined� �hey sheuid be
submitted ror review and concurrence by this o�fice and th� FAA before any
contracts are ex�cuted.
Subsequently t!�e Authority shauld advis� in writing an� person� who wish �o
• pravide ar who m�y b� prouiding. aeronaut�cal services an the a�rport that
such operations are prohlbited °�nless an FBO agree�nt �s executed. The Auth-
ority k�as the right to enforce this prohibstion. The cperator should be offered
an agreer�ent w�th reascnable fees and the agreemer,t can pC°OYld� for one ac�ivity
su�h as fl i ght i nstructi or� only or for more �f-:"n ane servi c�.
It is nat necessar�ly ob�ectianable that an operator provide� such services
�a�hile leasing only T-hanaars space 1� this agreeable to the Au�hority.
Rental of oTfice s�ace �., ather facilities on th� airpart would not have
�o be a requiremento the 1'-hangar rental should be included in �the FBO agree�
r�ntA If th�s is done a sQparate T-hangar lease wauld r�ot be req��ired with
the tenant, �
L�li4h recard to the exist+�lg FEO agreerr�?nt and �ublease and the �ssociated
manag2m:nt agree�r�n� it �ras strongly recom�nded to the Aut;�ority at the above
�eting that these agreer►ents be renegotiated into separate contracts with the
p�r�ies invoTved. Ttris would appear to be �articularly appropriate in view of
th� change in the r�epair and maintenance operauion that we have been inforr�d
�ri 11 occuro � .

arrangerr�nts the Autharity wishes to prnvide at the a�rport ta maintain viable
� FBO fu�nctions so long as th� terms are fa�r and 1�edso�able and do nat operaie
to set �p exclus�ve rights�
