Item #6 - Discuss Fixed Base Operator Agreement- Richter explained that the
FBO Agreement will need to go out to bid. The current agreement with
Pheasant Fury expires July 31, 2023. This service has never been bid before.
Discussion was had that the agreement should remain at 5 years. The City will
need to utilize Helms and Associates with this process.
Item #7 - Discuss 2024 Airport Fees - Richter explained that during budget
meetings staff reviewed fees. Staff is suggesting an increase in the flowage fee
from 6 cents to 8 cents for the FBO and 6 cents to 10 cents for all others. Wilde
explained that this is a substantial increase for someone like him with his type of
business where they purchase a large amount of fuel. Wilde would like the fee
to all others be the same as the FBO. VanLiere explained that since the FBO is
providing good service, the tenants at the airport are no longer "self -fueling" so
he doesn't believe there needs to be a different amount for the others. The
"Callout/After Hour Fee is being proposed to be increased from $50 to $100.
And Safety and Security Violation fees increase from $45 to $100.
Item #14 - Next Scheduled Meeting - July 20, 2023.
