SUBJECT:
Update, discussion and possible direction on Airport Operations and “Georgetown Airport Business
Analysis” -- Edward G. Polasek, AICP, Transportations Services Director and Jim Briggs, General Manager
of Utilities
ITEM SUMMARY:
The Georgetown Municipal Airport operates from revenue generated at the Airport, typically without
General Fund assistance. With revenues derived by fuel sales, lease & rents, and State and Federal Grants,
operation and maintenance of the airport has generally remained wholly within the Airport Fund balances, in
most years producing a fund balance.
As an aging resource, Staff is discovering capital maintenance needs will soon exceed revenue generation
potential at the Airport. The needed capital maintenance and necessary operational requirements of the
Airport are leading to a negative fund balance in the Airport Fund by the end of FY 2013. And, not all
ongoing and future capital maintenance and operation needs are addressed in the FY 2013 budget.
Last year City Council approved a Task Order with CH2M Hill to complete the Georgetown Business
Analysis. The draft analysis is completed and being presented to City Council today. Over the next several
months the Georgetown Transportation Advisory Board will be making recommendations on the specific
elements chosen to be implemented at the Airport. This includes:
· Establish a fueling policy, fully evaluate and choose a fueling option that offers a proper return
on investment, and best serves the airport and stakeholders in the long term.
· Improve the ground and building leasing program to include stronger commercial and lease
compliance terms as described in section 3.9 of the report.
· Decide on one of the two feasible management concepts; existing with necessary staffing
modifications; or, bringing in a contract management function
· Improve the overall business management function at the airport either under existing
management, or with a contract management function
· Develop a City wide economic development focus for the airport, to include an
interdepartmental development function to help streamline project specific development and
ground lease opportunities at the airport
· Develop a City vision and policy statement regarding airport role and brand that will drive the
marketing and business development initiatives of city and airport staff.
· Implement best practice recommendations as documented in section 4.0 of the report
GTAB RECOMMENDATION:
Submit Report and recommendations to the City Council for review at the August 27th Workshop.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff will begin working with GTAB on specific actions plans and recommendations for various elements of
the report. This will start with financial viability of continued operations of the airport and specific short-
term tools for revenue enhancement (improved ground and building lease programs). Council may choose to
provide guidance to GTAB on this focus or moving other elements up in priority for GTAB consideration.
