Airfield Layout Plan
Developable Parcels
Capital Project Needs
Completed Projects
bull Remodeled existing terminal in 2010 adding 5000 square feet
bull Runway Safety Area Project added 885 feet of runway for a 6000 foot long runway
bull Rehabilitated the airline parking apron
bull Expanded rental car staging areas
bull Reconfigured the current long-term parking lot to expand parking spaces
bull Reconfigured and expanded the rental car return lot to double the parking spaces
bull Installed a new rental car wash system and vehicle detail area
Future Capital Projects Runway Safety Area ndash Phase II ndash Service Roads
bull The service road portion of the project was removed from the main contract to match availability of federal funding
bull Construction is early FY16-17
bull Project was bid in August 2015 waiting for federal funding to award
bull Project estimate is $2 million
bull 9066 federally funded
Runway Safety Area ndash Phase II ndash Service Roads
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building bull The current ARFF building was constructed in 1972 and no longer meets
current standards for either ARFF or ADA regulations
bull Location of current facility is in the way of long-term terminal expansion needs
bull A new location has not been selected conceptually studied in 2012 Airport Master Plan
bull The Airport plans to begin environmental studies for a new ARFF facility in FY 16-17 and the design phase could begin as early as FY 17-18 The Airport is waiting for FAA determination on NEPA documentation requirements
bull Preliminary project estimate is $7 to $8 million
bull Federal funding (90) should be available for this project
bull The funds to complete environment studies will be requested in the FY 16shy17 Airport Enterprise Budget request and for grant funding from the FAA
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building
New Long-term Parking Lot
bull Preliminary design was completed by Transportation and Public Works (PW) engineering staff for a new lot southeast of the terminal Final design will be completed by PW on-call Professional Engineering Service Providers
bull The current long-term lot exceeded capacity 5 times in 2015
bull Increasing to 8 daily flights in 2016 the long-term lot is expected to exceed capacity every weekend and holiday until the second lot can be constructed Each new flight creates the need for approximately 50 parking spots per day
bull The proposed parking lot would add approximately 440 parking spaces
bull Total cost estimated to be $38 to 46 million Can be built in one or two phases if constructed as one phase it would save approximately $650000
bull Staff is recommending construction as a single phase project

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

bull The funds to complete environment studies will be requested in the FY 16shy17 Airport Enterprise Budget request and for grant funding from the FAA
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building
New Long-term Parking Lot
bull Preliminary design was completed by Transportation and Public Works (PW) engineering staff for a new lot southeast of the terminal Final design will be completed by PW on-call Professional Engineering Service Providers
bull The current long-term lot exceeded capacity 5 times in 2015
bull Increasing to 8 daily flights in 2016 the long-term lot is expected to exceed capacity every weekend and holiday until the second lot can be constructed Each new flight creates the need for approximately 50 parking spots per day
bull The proposed parking lot would add approximately 440 parking spaces
bull Total cost estimated to be $38 to 46 million Can be built in one or two phases if constructed as one phase it would save approximately $650000
bull Staff is recommending construction as a single phase project

Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

current standards for either ARFF or ADA regulations
bull Location of current facility is in the way of long-term terminal expansion needs
bull A new location has not been selected conceptually studied in 2012 Airport Master Plan
bull The Airport plans to begin environmental studies for a new ARFF facility in FY 16-17 and the design phase could begin as early as FY 17-18 The Airport is waiting for FAA determination on NEPA documentation requirements
bull Preliminary project estimate is $7 to $8 million
bull Federal funding (90) should be available for this project
bull The funds to complete environment studies will be requested in the FY 16shy17 Airport Enterprise Budget request and for grant funding from the FAA
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building
New Long-term Parking Lot
bull Preliminary design was completed by Transportation and Public Works (PW) engineering staff for a new lot southeast of the terminal Final design will be completed by PW on-call Professional Engineering Service Providers
bull The current long-term lot exceeded capacity 5 times in 2015
bull Increasing to 8 daily flights in 2016 the long-term lot is expected to exceed capacity every weekend and holiday until the second lot can be constructed Each new flight creates the need for approximately 50 parking spots per day
bull The proposed parking lot would add approximately 440 parking spaces
bull Total cost estimated to be $38 to 46 million Can be built in one or two phases if constructed as one phase it would save approximately $650000
bull Staff is recommending construction as a single phase project

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

bull Project estimate is $2 million
bull 9066 federally funded
Runway Safety Area ndash Phase II ndash Service Roads
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building bull The current ARFF building was constructed in 1972 and no longer meets
current standards for either ARFF or ADA regulations
bull Location of current facility is in the way of long-term terminal expansion needs
bull A new location has not been selected conceptually studied in 2012 Airport Master Plan
bull The Airport plans to begin environmental studies for a new ARFF facility in FY 16-17 and the design phase could begin as early as FY 17-18 The Airport is waiting for FAA determination on NEPA documentation requirements
bull Preliminary project estimate is $7 to $8 million
bull Federal funding (90) should be available for this project
bull The funds to complete environment studies will be requested in the FY 16shy17 Airport Enterprise Budget request and for grant funding from the FAA
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building
New Long-term Parking Lot
bull Preliminary design was completed by Transportation and Public Works (PW) engineering staff for a new lot southeast of the terminal Final design will be completed by PW on-call Professional Engineering Service Providers
bull The current long-term lot exceeded capacity 5 times in 2015
bull Increasing to 8 daily flights in 2016 the long-term lot is expected to exceed capacity every weekend and holiday until the second lot can be constructed Each new flight creates the need for approximately 50 parking spots per day
bull The proposed parking lot would add approximately 440 parking spaces
bull Total cost estimated to be $38 to 46 million Can be built in one or two phases if constructed as one phase it would save approximately $650000

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

bull Preliminary project estimate is $7 to $8 million
bull Federal funding (90) should be available for this project
bull The funds to complete environment studies will be requested in the FY 16shy17 Airport Enterprise Budget request and for grant funding from the FAA
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building
New Long-term Parking Lot
bull Preliminary design was completed by Transportation and Public Works (PW) engineering staff for a new lot southeast of the terminal Final design will be completed by PW on-call Professional Engineering Service Providers
bull The current long-term lot exceeded capacity 5 times in 2015
bull Increasing to 8 daily flights in 2016 the long-term lot is expected to exceed capacity every weekend and holiday until the second lot can be constructed Each new flight creates the need for approximately 50 parking spots per day
bull The proposed parking lot would add approximately 440 parking spaces
bull Total cost estimated to be $38 to 46 million Can be built in one or two phases if constructed as one phase it would save approximately $650000
bull Staff is recommending construction as a single phase project

bull Project estimate is $2 million
bull 9066 federally funded
Runway Safety Area ndash Phase II ndash Service Roads
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building bull The current ARFF building was constructed in 1972 and no longer meets
current standards for either ARFF or ADA regulations
bull Location of current facility is in the way of long-term terminal expansion needs
bull A new location has not been selected conceptually studied in 2012 Airport Master Plan
bull The Airport plans to begin environmental studies for a new ARFF facility in FY 16-17 and the design phase could begin as early as FY 17-18 The Airport is waiting for FAA determination on NEPA documentation requirements
bull Preliminary project estimate is $7 to $8 million
bull Federal funding (90) should be available for this project
bull The funds to complete environment studies will be requested in the FY 16shy17 Airport Enterprise Budget request and for grant funding from the FAA
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building
New Long-term Parking Lot
bull Preliminary design was completed by Transportation and Public Works (PW) engineering staff for a new lot southeast of the terminal Final design will be completed by PW on-call Professional Engineering Service Providers
bull The current long-term lot exceeded capacity 5 times in 2015
bull Increasing to 8 daily flights in 2016 the long-term lot is expected to exceed capacity every weekend and holiday until the second lot can be constructed Each new flight creates the need for approximately 50 parking spots per day
bull The proposed parking lot would add approximately 440 parking spaces
bull Total cost estimated to be $38 to 46 million Can be built in one or two phases if constructed as one phase it would save approximately $650000

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established

Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)

bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually

bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Future Capital Projects Runway Safety Area ndash Phase II ndash Service Roads
bull The service road portion of the project was removed from the main contract to match availability of federal funding
bull Construction is early FY16-17
bull Project was bid in August 2015 waiting for federal funding to award
bull Project estimate is $2 million
bull 9066 federally funded
Runway Safety Area ndash Phase II ndash Service Roads
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building bull The current ARFF building was constructed in 1972 and no longer meets
current standards for either ARFF or ADA regulations
bull Location of current facility is in the way of long-term terminal expansion needs
bull A new location has not been selected conceptually studied in 2012 Airport Master Plan
bull The Airport plans to begin environmental studies for a new ARFF facility in FY 16-17 and the design phase could begin as early as FY 17-18 The Airport is waiting for FAA determination on NEPA documentation requirements
bull Preliminary project estimate is $7 to $8 million
bull Federal funding (90) should be available for this project
bull The funds to complete environment studies will be requested in the FY 16shy17 Airport Enterprise Budget request and for grant funding from the FAA

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building bull The current ARFF building was constructed in 1972 and no longer meets
current standards for either ARFF or ADA regulations
bull Location of current facility is in the way of long-term terminal expansion needs
bull A new location has not been selected conceptually studied in 2012 Airport Master Plan
bull The Airport plans to begin environmental studies for a new ARFF facility in FY 16-17 and the design phase could begin as early as FY 17-18 The Airport is waiting for FAA determination on NEPA documentation requirements
bull Preliminary project estimate is $7 to $8 million
bull Federal funding (90) should be available for this project
bull The funds to complete environment studies will be requested in the FY 16shy17 Airport Enterprise Budget request and for grant funding from the FAA
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Building
New Long-term Parking Lot
bull Preliminary design was completed by Transportation and Public Works (PW) engineering staff for a new lot southeast of the terminal Final design will be completed by PW on-call Professional Engineering Service Providers
bull The current long-term lot exceeded capacity 5 times in 2015
bull Increasing to 8 daily flights in 2016 the long-term lot is expected to exceed capacity every weekend and holiday until the second lot can be constructed Each new flight creates the need for approximately 50 parking spots per day
bull The proposed parking lot would add approximately 440 parking spaces
bull Total cost estimated to be $38 to 46 million Can be built in one or two phases if constructed as one phase it would save approximately $650000
bull Staff is recommending construction as a single phase project

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually

Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Total debt service costs will decrease by $362795 in 2019 and by $509804 in 2021
Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option
The KNN report identified the most viable option for funding is a conventional fixed rate loan using the Countyrsquos credit
Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage

Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option

Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
bull Contract ARFF services can be provided by private contractors local governments local fire district or Cal-Fire

Financial Analysis
Financial Forecast bull In 2014 the Airport hired a firm specializing in airport business and
financial operations to prepare a financial forecasting model
bull This model forecasts operational levels and costs capital plan funding capacity sustainable airline fees and projects revenues for the next five years
bull The model converted the Airportrsquos budget into an industry standard format allocating costs to the appropriate cost centers This model confirmed the Airportrsquos assumption that the current airline rates and charges are insufficient to be sustainable and calculated the appropriate fees
bull The model incorporates revenue impacts as passenger volumes change and included projected other airport developments
bull The model includes expenditure impacts from the Airportrsquos Capital Improvement Plan (CPP) and staffing growth as outlined in the staffing analysis
Airline Rates amp Charges
Recommended Airline Fees bull The financial report recommended airline rates and charges approximately
double current levels
bull Airlines use a Cost Per Enplaned (CPE) passenger as their metric for airport costs (current CPE ~ $149 proposed CPE ~ $295)
bull The proposed fee increase has been discussed with and is acceptable to Alaska Airlines
bull Some airlines operate less than daily or irregular schedules and prefer a set ldquoper turnrdquo A set fee enables them to better budget station costs
bull With the potential for adding new less than daily service a new fee has been proposed for less than daily providers which includes a premium over daily rates and charges (consistent with industry standards)
bull Current Airline fees are $163 per square footper month for lobby (ticket counters and queue) and office space as well as a monthly fee of $363 for use of the securityhold room These fees will be deleted and a new fee structure will be established
Recommended Airline Rates and Charges Terminal ndash Preferential Space Rental ndash assigned (NEW)
Daily Service $250 per square footper month Non-daily Service $325 per square footper month
Ticket Counter and Queue rental - unassigned (NEW) Daily Service $028 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $036 per Enplaned Passenger
Joint Use Space (NEW) Daily Service $160 per Enplaned Passenger Non-daily Service $208 per Enplaned Passenger
ldquoPer Turnrdquo Charge (NEW) ldquoPer turnrdquo charges are the sum of applicable non-daily rates and charges including landing fees use of applicable terminal spaces and equipment Calculated on aircraft weight and 90 of the seating capacity
The proposed fees are anticipated to increase revenues by $250000 annually
Staff agrees with the consultantrsquos recommended airline rates and charges

Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)

Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year

Funding Needs
bull $10 -14 million in long-term debt is needed for both the terminal and parking lot projects
bull The Airport is not able to absorb new debt payments until 2019 and will need either financial assistance or interim short-term financing (treasury notes)
Funding Options ndash Long-term In working with Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector (ACTTC) staff and their consultant KNN Public Finance (KNN) the Airport has explored several options for funding
bull Department of Transportation ndash Local Airport Loan Program bull The California Economic and Infrastructure Development Bank (IBank)
Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program bull Airport Revenue Bonds bull County investment in the future (General Fund Contribution) bull A variable rate loan bull A conventional fixed rate loan ndash staff recommended option

Staff is recommending this option and requests direction from the Board to allow further analysis on this option The Airport will return to the Board with final recommendations for both short-term and long-term funding solutions
Staffing Analysis
Staffing Report bull The Airport working with the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted
an assessment of staffing for current needs and forecasted Airport growth over the next five years
bull This assessment identified the need for four additional positions in the short-term and more staff positions in the long-term The specific job classifications still need to be coordinated with HR
bull The Airport will address the recommended short-term staffing changes as part of the budgetary process and as funding allows
bull ARFF coverage is currently provided by the Airport Operations staff who meet the FAA training requirement for those duties
bull Future information gathered regarding contracting ARFF services will assist with the needs assessment for long-term staffing If ARFF services are contracted fewer dedicated Airport staff will be needed
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Services bull Airport staff dedicates 825 hours per day to meet FAA and TSA stand-by
requirements spending approximately $220000 annually to provide ARFF coverage and training
bull There are four different alert levels Alert 1 is a ldquostandbyrdquo only alert - majority of alerts Alert 2 involves small aircraft Alert 3 involves large aircraft Alert 4 miscellaneous category
bull The Airport averaged two alerts per month over the last six years (with one alert 3 over this period)
bull Two informal estimates were obtained for contracted ARFF services for $600000 and $12 million per year
bull A Request for Information will be released in early 2016 and information brought to the Board for direction during preparation of the FY 17-18 budget
ARFF Services at Comparable Airports Airport staff researched comparable California airports on ARFF coverage
bull Determined each airport handled and covered costs for ARFF in a manner most fitting for their circumstances
bull Most airports similar to or larger than STS have contracted ARFF services
