Omnibus Act (P.L. 89-106) of August 4, 1965 (79 Stat. 431; 7 U.S.C. 2253) July 1, 1976 The City of McCall has been provided Federal funds for airport development and has become obligated by contract with the Federal Government to continu- ously observe certain terms and conditions in its administrative and operating responsibilities. The McCall Airport is publicly owned; therefore, the responsibility for maintaining and operating the landing area and other common use facilities is a public function rather than a proprietary function. The Forest Service is a public service community industry rather than a proprietary business; and as such, not required to make rental payments per se. The Forest Service does, however, require specific premises for its exclusive use, which is a public service use in fact. Although not a common tenant and not required to pay rent for administration and operation toward capital improvement, the Forest Service can contribute some part of the normal costs of operation and maintenance of a public landing area through some manner of a user charge. Said user charges are currently being paid to the city through fuel flowage charges on all gasoline used at the airport. This constitutes a proportionate share payment of the gross volume of the airport service users, and provides a most practical and economical method of cost recovery to the city. In addition to the above mentioned contributed user fees, the Forest Service has in fact paid public facility rental fees under lease agreement in excess of $3,500.00. In addition to the normal service user fees and said facility rental fees, the Forest Service has expended in excess of $30,000.00 toward offsetting maintenance and capital improvement over the past several years.
