TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
C.'
FROM:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Airport Commission Request for Fiscal Year 2006 Equipment
Replacement Schedule Change
The Airport Commission is recommending that the Jet Fuel Truck ($100,000)
replacement not be purchased in Fiscal Year 2006, as previously approved in the
budget process, and that equipment be purchased that will help reduce airline costs to
operate at the airport ($94,000).
This is a change in past City practice in an attempt to reduce American Airline's
operating costs and to help attract additional air service.
As part of this request, they ask that the replacement fuel truck be re-budgeted for
Fiscal Year 2007.
I concur with the recommendation to change the expenditures for Fiscal Year 2006 and
recommend Mayor and City Council approval; however, no commitment can be made
for the fuel truck in Fiscal Year 2007 until it is known through the budget process what
resources are available and what requests are in competition for those resources.

RE:
Airport Commission request for FY 06' equipment replacement
schedule change
Introduction:
Attached for your review, is a memo dated October 21, 2005 to the Airport
Commission concerning a strategy scenario on maintaining and attracting air
service.
Reauest:
The Airport Commission, at its October 24, 2005 meeting, unanimously voted to
request the City Council approve the purchase of various ground support
equipment. These purchases will fulfill another part of the air service strategy to
help retain and attract air service. The first part was the Council's approval to
purchase the aircraft de-ice vehicle through an Airport Improvement Grant.
Funding for the ground equipment is from the Airport's FY06 budget, using
money allocated for the replacement of the Jet-A fuel truck. The Airport will
request the fuel truck replacement be re-scheduled in the FY 01' budget.

RE: Modify FY 06' equipment replacement schedule
To help defray airline revenue loss, several scenarios have been discussed in
the past with the City Manager and Airport Commission. The general consensus
was to follow the scenario in which the airport would purchase ground support
equipment and a de-ice vehicle. The de-ice vehicle has been approved as a CIP
by City Council. The equipment will remain as airport property and can be
utilized by multiple carriers.
The second step is to purchase remaining ground support equipment listed
below. In that memorandum, we identified pushing the Jet-A fuel truck back one
year and allocating that $100,000 towards the ground support equipment. If the
Commission approves, the next step is to request Council's approval to proceed
with the aircraft ground support equipment purchase. Staff would request the fuel
truck replacement in the FY 01' budget.
Equipment purchase and estimates:
Total
$25,000
$14,000
$ 8,000
$27,000
$20.000
$94,000
