• A financial statement including a balance sheet.

• Authorization for release of information from such persons as the City and Airport
personnel shall deem necessary to determine the applicant's qualifications to perform
as set forth in the application. The applicant shall also provide a release for any

Review of Application Upon the consideration of the application, the Airport Manager
and the City Council, with the recommendation of the Airport Advisory Committee, shall
determine whether or not the applicant meets the standards and qualifications as herein
set out and whether or not such application should be granted in whole or part, and if

requirements established by these rules and regulations and the rules and regulations
established by the F.A.A.
• Safety Hazard If the applicant's proposed operations or construction will create a
safety hazard on the Airport.
• Cost to the Airport If the granting of the application will require the City of McCall to
spend Airport funds or to supply labor or materials in connection with the proposed
operations to an extent which or at a time when the City of McCall is unwilling to
enter into such arrangements; or the operation will result in a financial loss to the
City of McCall.
• Availability If there is adequate available space on the Airport to accommodate the
entire activity of the applicant at the time of application.
• Compliance with Master Plan Does the proposed operation or airport development or
construction complies with the Master Plan?
• Congestion Will the development or use of the area requested by the applicant
deprive existing users of portions of their operation area? Will it cause undue
congestion of aircraft or buildings? Will it unduly interfere with the operations of any
08/12/99 Page 3
present user by interfering with aircraft traffic or preventing free access to any other
facility?
• Misrepresentation Has the applicant interested in the business supplied the City of
McCall or Airport Manager with any false information or misrepresented any material
fact in the application or supporting documents? Has the applicant failed to make full
disclosure on the application or supporting documents?
• History of Violations Has any party applying or having an interest in the applicant's
business had a record of violating the rules and regulations of any other airport,

in the performance of any lease or other agreement with the Airport or the City of
McCall?
• Poor Business Record Has any party applying for or having an interest in the
business had a business record indicative of unsatisfactory business practices?
• Ecological Considerations Will the operator comply with Environmental Protection
Agency, Department of Environmental Quality, Valley County Health District and City
of McCall Planning and Zoning requirements for the protection for the health, welfare
and safety of the inhabitants of the City of McCall?
• Performance Bond The City Council may require the applicant post a performance
bond.
Lease or Contract Upon the approval of any such applications as submitted or modified,
the City Council, after considering the recommendations of the Airport Manager and the
Airport Advisory Committee, shall cause to be prepared a suitable lease setting forth the
terms and conditions of the land and/or the facility use. The lease shall be conditional
upon or contain the following minimum conditions and assurances. The City Council
may require such additional terms, conditions and assurances, as they deem necessary
in a particular instance.
• The Lessee is in compliance with and will remain in compliance with the standards
required for each activity.
• Any structure or facility to be constructed or placed upon the Airport shall be
constructed in a manner to conform to all Federal, State and Local safety regulations
to include Federal Aviation Administration regulations. All structures shall comply
with Federal, State and Local requirements of current building codes and fire
regulations. Any construction once commenced will be diligently pursued to
completion. Completion and occupancy of the structure must occur within twenty-
four months after the execution of the lease. Failure to achieve either substantial
progress or completion shall constitute cause for the City of McCall to cancel the
lease or to extend the completion dates for construction.

activity. These standards, by expressing minimum levels of service that must be
offered, relate primarily to the public interest, but appropriate requirements, uniformly
applied, discourage substandard enterprises, thereby protecting both established

impose any unreasonable requirement or standard not relevant to the proposed activity.
The City Council reserves the right to waive any of the standards listed under this part,

City Council existing conditions justify such a waiver.
