SUMMARY STATEMENT:
A group of community members have been planning an airport fly-in and open house to occur on Saturday/1 August and the morning of Sunday/2 August. The venue will provide attractions
for pilots and the general public alike, and will be available to the public with no entrance charge. It is anticipated that the fly-in will draw many pilots to the airport, and that
these pilots will spend 1 to 2 nights in McCall for the event. The group of event planners has requested consideration on behalf of the City of McCall to waive overnight parking fees
for single and light piston twin aircraft with a gross weight less than 6,000 pounds for the nights of Friday/31 July and Saturday/1 August. The overnight parking fee for these aircraft
is $5 per night. With a rough estimate of 40 aircraft which could potentially spend the weekend at the airport for this event the impact to revenue from this fee waiver would be $200
per night or $400 total. It is anticipated that pilots attending this event will purchase fuel at the airport from which the airport receives a fuel flowage fee ($.08 per gallon) thereby
producing some revenue from the event. It is important to note that this event, and others like it, is critical to maintaining and perhaps enhancing the overall health of general aviation
in the region.
Funding and support for execution of this event is expected to come from the following sources:
McCall Chapter of the Idaho Aviation Association - $1,000
Idaho Power - $500 (awaiting confirmation of donation)
McCall Mountain and Canyon Flying - $500
McCall Aviation – Use of Hangar and Leased Ground Space
10 Aviation Vendor Booths at $25/booth - $250 Total
City of McCall/Airport - $500 as budgeted in FY15 for support of a fly-in
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Waive overnight parking fees at the McCall Municipal Airport for single and light piston twin aircraft with a gross weight less than 6,000 pounds for the nights of July 31, 2015 and
August 1, 2015.
