Title

Ordinance amending Crossville Municipal Code Title 2 Chapter 2: Airport Committee

Body

SUMMARY: In past years, the airport had an advisory committee to provide input and assistance for the Airport Manager.  In light of comments made on the Airport Tenant Survey, this seems like a prudent idea to reinstate, both from the perspective that tenants requested it, but more so the almost unanimous agreement that tenants would like to see more activities at the airport and also more airport related businesses at the airport.  This is not a task the Airport Manager can do alone, or is necessarily best suited to do. 

Recommendations for airport committee members:

•                     3-4 pilots, with at least 2 being IFR rated, and if any are turbine rated for the corporate jets, their specific knowledge could prove beneficial.

•                     Representation from the Chamber of Commerce

•                     Representative with civil engineering background

•                     Representative with experience in marketing/aviation marketing

Attached are excerpts from the Tennessee Airport Management Manual, which recommends the establishment of an airport committee.

If reinstatement is approved, an ordinance amending Crossville Municipal Code Title 2 will be necessary. A draft of the ordinance is attached.

BUDGET ACCOUNT: N/A

Recommended Action

NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION: Reinstate airport committee and approve on 3^rd reading.
