Prescott City council Regular Voting Meeting — June 25, 2013 Page 5 increased in the last four years. Staff requests a 5 percent increase in the rates charged for the City operated hangars and covered and open tie-downs, which will generate approximately $30,000.00 additional revenue for the Airport Operating Budget. They would also like to increase storage rates located at the end of the hangars to bring the square footage rates up to those being charged for City hangars at $.27 per square foot. That will generate $19,000.00 for the operating budget. The Civil Air Patrol requested rent relief for the hangar they use. He also noted that rental contracts used by the City do not specify amounts of insurance customers must carry. Staff is working on updates to those documents with the Legal and Risk Departments. Councilman Kuknyo reported he went to the airport users meeting and felt that users were fine with the rates and they respect that the airport is becoming a more professional operation. A representative from the Civil Air Patrol described the organization and said they maintain an alert crew at all times for Arizona and other states.

F. Adoption of Resolution No. 4180-1342 approving Joint Project Agreement (JPA) No. 13-120 with the Arizona Department of Transportation for Airport Surface Treatment Program on Taxiways C, E, F and B5. Jeff Tripp, Airport Manager, presented and said the preliminary cost is about $608,000.00. The state designed the product and will oversee the project. 90 percent of the project will be funded by the State Aviation Fund and the City has a 10 percent match. The product will provide a one inch overlay on Taxiway C, and a portion of E, F, and B5. Councilman Blair asked how long the product will last. Mr. Tripp replied that with proper maintenance, the pavement preservation will last 20 — 30 years. Councilman Arnold asked who is responsible for administrating, overseeing the bid process, and the construction aspect of the project. Mr. Tripp said the State of Arizona, through the Arizona Department of Transportation. Councilman Lamerson said this is an Intergovernmental Agreement and the state is investing in the airport. If the Federal Aviation Authority and the state did not make the investments we would have been in trouble in light of the Doce fire.
