Home My WebLink About7/21/2004 - STAFF REPORTS (23) DATE: July 21, 2004 TO: City Council FROM: Director of Aviation COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE REVISIONS RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve a resolution adopting revisions to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule as it relates to various commercial business activities for the Department of Aviation at the Palm Springs International Airport (PSP). BACKGROUND: The majority of commercial business activity fees within the Department of Aviation's comprehensive fee schedule have not been adjusted in some time. In addition, many of the current fee structures are in need of revision as they no longer are accurate or do not match current agreement provisions (i.e. Airport Use and Lease Agreement, Rental Car Agency Contracts). Many of the highlighted fees are corrections to already established lease agreements. The Rental Car Companies agreed to increasing the ready lot space amounts when we reconfigured the area to meet Transportation Security Administration security mandates. This charge is already in place with rental car agencies, however, it is a correction that still needs to be revised in the comprehensive fee schedule. Another example of needed revisions relates to the new Airport Use and Lease Agreement. The Airport is still in the process of receiving new lease agreements from the Signatory Carries serving PSP (i.e. American, Alaska, Skywest,America West, Continental). The new term begins July 1, 2004 and as the new rates and charges were agreed to in the negotiations with the carriers,the comprehensive fee schedule needs to reflect these changes as soon as possible. Additionally, new airline space has been added behind the airline operations areas and new rent is required. The proposed fee schedule revisions accurately reflect these changes. Other fees for instance are based on increases in operating expenses. For instance, the Customs Federal Inspection Service Fees have not been raised since their inception in 1996, yet airport costs have continued to escalate year after year. This is one area where the users do not pay all the expenses associated with providing this service. With the many unfunded security mandates being forced upon the Airport by regulatory agencies such as the Transportation Security Administration and the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, the Airport must look at new ways to increase revenue. Previous comparison to other user-fee airports show PSP has compatible rates even with the proposed revisions. Input from the users and operators has indicated the fees would not be considered excessive. As part of the comprehensive financial recovery plan, the Airport has recently established increases in parking revenue and continues to review all fees associated with commercial business activity. The other fees that are proposed represent minor adjustments in various different areas. Some of these fees have never changed and some fees were deleted as they no longer apply to any area. Subsequent direction from the Airport Commission requires that Airport staff review all fees every year for potential revisions. aqA City Council 07-21-04 Comprehensive Fee Schedule Page 2 The Airport has consistently tried to keep all fees low in order to remain competitive with other regional airports. However, with increased operations and maintenance expenses averaging approximately 15% over last fiscal year, the proposed fee schedule revisions are not considered to be excessive. In fact, it is merely an on-going effort to help bring airport revenue in-line with departmental expenses. Attached is the proposed comprehensive fee schedule with the revisions highlighted in red for your review and a final version for approval. The Airport Commission recommended City Council approval of these revisions at its regularly scheduled meeting of July 7, 2004. RICHARD S. WALSH, A.A.E.
