To: Northern Colorado Regional Airport Commission From: Jason Licon, Airport Director Re: Airport Report for March Date: 3/31/2017 Capital Projects & Awarded Grants

The Airport applied for three grants this year for preserving, rehabilitating, and extending sections of the Runways and Taxiways. Two grants from the State of Colorado Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics were approved in March totaling $65,000. The state grants will serve as the 5% match toward an expected $1,000,000 federal grant from the FAA, with the remaining $10,000 to be applied toward the purchase of pavement crack repair materials. The Airport’s grant matching fund obligation is approximately 5% or $65,000 required to leverage the $1,065,000 in federal and state resources.

The pavement preservation projects will extend the life of the Airport’s runways and taxiways and will update associated pavement markings for airport operational safety and FAA standards. A new pavement section will be added to the new snow removal equipment building and to a taxiway, which will be extended to accommodate a new hangar development project. The $1,000,000 FAA grant was made possible through congressional legislation that was part of the “FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016”. Without the language in the bill, the Airport would have only received $150,000 that to be used for a similar purpose.

Requests for Proposals

Airport staff is advertising two professional service requests for proposals (RFP) this month. The first RFP is for an engineering project associated with the planned federal and state supported pavement projects referenced above. The second RFP is for a target market analysis that will help the Cities gain a clear understanding of the potential for development both on and adjacent to the Airport. Information on these projects can be found on the Airport’s website:

http://www.flynoco.com/construction-development/bids-and-rfps/

Development and Leasing

The Green Ride Company announced this month that they acquired routes that the Super Shuttle Company previously served for Northern Colorado. Super Shuttle’s decision to discontinue its Northern Colorado services provided Green Ride with the opportunity to add to their routes and utilize leased space

that Super Shuttle occupied at the Harmony Park and Ride in Fort Collins. As a result, Green Ride will be moving their corporate offices to the Harmony location, and out of the Airport terminal building that they have leased partially for two years. Green Ride will continue to have an Airport presence, leasing a portion of the Airport’s parking lot for their park and ride.

A new development company, FNL Hangars LLC, has announced the building of two new hangar buildings with a combined total of approximatly 10,000 square feet. The new hangar buildings will be used for the storage of active aircraft, and for the development of an innovative project from Bye Aerospace. Bye has agreed to lease one of the new hangars partialy for their Stratoairnet solar electric prototype. A copy of the published article about the hangar development project and Bye Aerospace announcement is attached.

Police Training Campus

A joint City Council meeting was held on Thursday, March 23rd. The Councils discussed the previously proposed joint police training campus on the Airport property site. The proposed Airport site consists of approximately 40 acres directly adjacent to Boyd Lake Road and the Union Pacific Railroad on the western boundary of Airport property. The City Councils gave direction to staff involved in the project to proceed with the design of the facility this year. Airport staff will be working with the two police agencies and Loveland Public Works to ensure continuity.

Solar­powered plane firm joins Northern Colo. airportPat Ferrier , [email protected] Published 3:19 p.m. MT April 3, 2017 | Updated 9:30 a.m. MT April 5, 2017

An Englewood company developing a long­range, solar­powered aircraft is expected to lease one of ahandful of new hangars planned at Northern Colorado Regional Airport in Loveland.

Bye Aerospace is developing the unmanned aircraft called StratoAirNet that it plans to house and test at theairport, formerly called Fort Collins­Loveland Municipal Airport.

The company already works with Loveland­based Scion Aviation, which provides advanced composite parts,prototype aircraft and tooling. Housing its StratoAirNet at the airport creates a synergy among facilities,people and testing, Bye founder George Bye said in a telephone interview.

"The airport there is wonderful for so many reasons," he said. "It's a great facility with a great runway; it has access to both technology and employeesfor high­tech and the airspace is not as restricted as it is around Denver.

"We love it up there for the StratoAirNet because of the special research and development effort that will be needed."

Bye said the aircraft is at Scion's facility at the airport. "We just need to get it in a larger facility that is better suited," he said.

Bye wants to begin work in Northern Colorado as soon as possible.

Kevin Pass, chief financial officer of KFNL LLC, which is building the four hangars, said Bye's should be ready no later than Sept. 1, but he hopes itwill be available by early July.

Initially, Bye will staff its local operations with Scion contractors and employees who live in North Denver or Northern Colorado. Eventually, Bye said thecompany will have between 12 and 25 workers in its first year to 18 months, "as we build our next four to five prototypes."

Airport General Manager Jason Licon said having Bye at the airport "will be a benefit not only to them but to area companies that provide advancedmaterials, software components and other things."

The StratoAirNet has a 50­foot wing span that will have a pilot during testing but will eventually fly without a pilot, Bye said.

A June story in Plane & Pilot magazine said Bye is targeting the defense market with the StratoAirNet. The story reported the company haddemonstrated a prototype in a virtual war­game simulation at an event hosted by the Air Force Research Lab out of Kirtland Air Force Base in NewMexico.

Other uses could include search and rescue operations, firefighting command and control, anti­poaching monitoring, damage assessment, severeweather tracking, agriculture monitoring, mineral source surveying, spill detection and infrastructure quality assessment, according to the magazine.

Bye announced last month it was also working with XTI Aircraft Co., a Denver­area company, to develop a hybrid/electric prototype of XTI's TriFanvertical takeoff airplane that can takeoff and land like a helicopter.

More hangars to come

The planned hangar addition breaks a logjam of sorts at the airport, which hasn't seen new hangars for seven years.

The 186 hangars on airport grounds are at capacity and there's a three­ to four­year waiting list for space in the 40 hangars owned by the airport,Licon said.

KFNL Hangars LLC has a 45­year lease on ground at the airport where it will build the hangars, said Pass, who is developing the project with RoySpace, both aviation enthusiasts who share a hangar. "That's how we came up with this project ... there is such a shortage of hangars."

Pass spent seven years building his own plane, an RV­7, a two­seat, single­engine aircraft sold as a kit by Van's Aircraft.

Pass, a semi­retired dentist, said the $1 million project should be completed by the end of the year.

ITEM NUMBER: 4 MEETING DATE: April 20, 2017

PREPARED BY: Jason Licon, Airport Director

TITLE Airport Governance

RECOMMENDED AIRPORT COMMISSION ACTION Provide direction to Staff on next steps

BUDGET IMPACT Neutral or Not Applicable

SUMMARY The Airport Commission directed Staff at the February 23 regularly scheduled meeting to conduct an analysis and provide a white paper that illustrates the benefits and drawbacks of restructuring the Airport into an Airport Authority governance model. Staff created the attached white paper based on multiple specialized sources including associated Colorado Revised Statutes.

Staff found that Colorado Law prohibits an Airport Authority from the ability to levy taxes, as they are able to in other states. This includes property and sales tax assessments and/ or the creation of special districts. Colorado law does allow an Airport Authority to issue revenue bonds, which could be advantageous assuming that revenues are adequate to cover repayment.

Purpose

This memorandum summarizes the purpose, function, legal considerations, and the advantages and

disadvantages of the airport authority form of governance, as defined in CRS 41-3-103 (2016).

Airport Governance Structure Overview

An airport authority is an independent entity that is the legal sponsor of an Airport, created through

enabling legislation and empowered to make decisions regarding the direction and overall management

of an airport. As a form of governance, airport authorities represent the governing structure of

approximately 1/3 of the airports in the United States. Airport authorities in Colorado constitute a

political subdivision of the state and are represented by a board of appointed commissioners.

Typical reasons for creation of an airport authority include:

- Airport market or service areas have outgrown their political boundaries, such as a city or

county, and have economic impacts that affect a wider region

- To fulfill a desire for greater autonomy and more expeditious decision-making

- As a response to a perception that airport authorities are subject to less direct political influence

- To facilitate new avenues for financing

011

Page 12: WIFI: COLGuest Password: accesswifi...2017/04/20  · schedule update • Airport Authority Presentation • 2016 Airport Audit Presentation June 15 • 2018 Budget • Infrastructure

- To create a governance structure that is more broadly representative of the region in which the

airport is located

Legal Considerations

- Airport authorities in Colorado are governed by state and federal law, which dictate their

powers and limitations. Authorities have broad powers under Colorado law, including the

following (summarized):

- To have perpetual existence;

- To sue and be sued;

- To enter into contracts and agreements with other public entities;

- To borrow money and issue bonds – however, Airport authorities cannot levy taxes for

payment of bonds;

- To exact fees;

- To provide rules and regulations governing the use of the airport;

- To buy, sell, and otherwise dispose of and encumber real estate;

- To exercise the power of eminent domain; and

- To construct and maintain works and facilities.1

- The statutory powers granted to airport authorities do not explicitly include the power to levy

taxes

- Under Colorado statute, airport authorities shall be governed by a board of commissioners

consisting of at least five but no more than nine members representing the “Combination” (i.e.,

the Cities of Fort Collins and Loveland). Commissioners shall be appointed for a term of four

years each (except for the first year, where one half of the members’ terms expire in two

years).2

- Authorities may be terminated by the municipality (-ies) composing the authority.3

- Authorities are exempt from general ad valorem taxes upon the airport; bonds and income

derived from them are exempt from state taxation.4

Page 13: WIFI: COLGuest Password: accesswifi...2017/04/20  · schedule update • Airport Authority Presentation • 2016 Airport Audit Presentation June 15 • 2018 Budget • Infrastructure

- Authorities are permitted under Federal law to exercise “proprietary powers and rights”, which

includes an allowance for the regulation of the aeronautical use of the airport.5

- As the airport sponsor, the authority must have requisite and sufficient powers to carry out

federal obligations and requirements.

Potential Advantages and Disadvantages of an Airport Authority

This analysis is based on research from the following sources:

- National Academies of Science, Airport Cooperative Research Program: Airport Governance and

Ownership (2009)

- Bureau of Government Research: New Orleans International Airport – Governance, Regional

Cooperation and Airport Expansion (1999)

- City of Fort Collins: Memorandum – Fort Collins-Loveland Airport Governance Issues (2007)

- American Association of Airport Executives: Body of Knowledge Module One – Finance and

Administration (2017)

Potential Benefits of an Airport Authority Governance Structure

- More diverse representation (e.g., potentially more of a balance between government and

private sector representatives, potentially more specialized knowledge of aviation-specific

issues)

- Authority members may be able to fully commit the necessary time and expertise to the

organization; City Council members and/or staff are often time-constrained by other

commitments that limit their ability to provide adequate time and attention to Airport matters.

- Allows for the cities to maintain ownership of the Airport, appoint members to the board, and

have the ability to dissolve if required

- Greater autonomy – not bound by constraints of local government

- Provide multiple jurisdictions with representation in an airport’s operation and development

and create a broader base of support for legislative action

5 49 U.S.C. § 41713(b)(3).

013

Page 14: WIFI: COLGuest Password: accesswifi...2017/04/20  · schedule update • Airport Authority Presentation • 2016 Airport Audit Presentation June 15 • 2018 Budget • Infrastructure

- Potential ability to develop more creative financing approaches for improvements, such as

horizontal and vertical infrastructure through the ability to pledge income to the repayment of

bonds

Potential Downsides of an Airport Authority Governance Structure

- Potential for reduced or eliminated direct funding resources from Cities

- Potential cost increase related to the separation of support from municipal departments, such

as legal, planning, finance, information technology, human resources, insurance coverages, and

economic development – higher direct cost to obtain these services separately through

contractual arrangements

- Airport Authorities cannot levy taxes for payment of bonds per Colorado statute

o C.R.S 41-3-106(1)(e): “Nothing in this article shall be construed as authorizing the

authority or any county to assess and levy taxes for the payment of said bonds, nor shall

said bonds be construed to be an indebtedness of the municipalities or counties

constituting members of the authority or of the county independently creating such

authority within the meaning of any constitutional, charter, or statutory limitation.”

- Efficiency advantages are largely unproven by research

- Uncertain advantages of a new leadership group – current leadership is stable and supportive

Neutral Considerations

- A community should critically examine its objectives for a change in airport governance to

ensure that such a change would substantially benefit the airport and its ability to provide

increased value to the region.

- Authority ownership / operation will not necessarily result in better management or less

political interference.

- The success of a given authority depends to a large extent on who the members are, what their

interests are, and the history / culture of the community with respect to the airport.6

- Airport authorities can be eliminated by the same entities that create them by statute.

- Relatively few airports change governance and typically only do so in extreme cases of

management or government distress.7

Conclusion / Implications for FNL

Airport authorities can be an effective and advantageous approach to airport governance in certain

situations. A review of available literature on the subject does not provide conclusive evidence of one

form of governance being universally more appropriate than another.8 Therefore, any consideration of

a change in the form of governance should be considered in light of a number of factors including the

Airport’s Strategic Plan, Mission and Vision, the Airport’s current financial position, and the positive and

negative impacts of a change in governance on the community at-large.

A particularly relevant aspect of Colorado law relating to airport authorities resides in CRS 41-3-

106(1)(e), which prohibits the assessment and levy of taxes to repay bonds issued by the authority. This

significantly limits the ability of an airport authority to function as a sustainable public entity and its

ability to sufficiently serve the community in which it resides unless the airport is financially self-

sustaining. The current system of airport sponsorship and governance allows for limited, ongoing

funding from the two airport sponsors (the Cities of Fort Collins and Loveland) in recognition of the

airport’s function as a community economic asset. Without this funding under an authority model, the

Airport would need to independently pursue funding sources to make up for the resultant lack of

funding and departmental support from the two cities.
