facilities owned or controlled by the United States, shall be operated at all times in a safe and serviceable
condition and in accordance with
the minimum standards as may be required or prescribed by applicable Federal,
Page 27 of 40
state and local agencies for maintenance and operation. It will not cause or permit any activity or action
thereon which would interfere with its use for airport purposes. It will suitably operate and maintain the
airport and all facilities thereon or connected therewith,with due regard to climatic and flood conditions.
Any proposal to temporarily close the airport for non-aeronautical purposes must first be approved by the
Secretary. In furtherance of this assurance,the sponsor will have in effect arrangements for-
t) Operating the airport's aeronautical facilities whenever required;
2) Promptly marking and lighting hazards resulting from airport conditions, including temporary
conditions; and
3) Promptly notifying airmen of any condition affecting aeronautical use of the airport.Nothing contained
herein shall be construed to require that the airport be operated for aeronautical use during temporary
periods when snow,flood or other climatic conditions interfere with such operation and maintenance.
Further,nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the maintenance,repair, restoration, or replacement
of any structure or facility which is substantially damaged or destroyed due to an act of God or other
condition or circumstance beyond the control of the sponsor.
b. It will suitably operate and maintain noise compatibility program items that it owns or controls
upon which Federal funds have been expended.
20. Hazard Removal and Mitigation.
It will take appropriate action to assure that such terminal airspace as is required to protect instrument
and visual operations to the airport(including established minimum flight altitudes)will be adequately
cleared and protected by removing, lowering, relocating, marking, or lighting or otherwise mitigating
existing airport hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation of future airport hazards.
21. Compatible Land Use.
It will take appropriate action,to the extent reasonable, including the adoption of zoning laws,to restrict the
use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with
normal airport operations, including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In addition, if the project is for noise
compatibility program implementation, it will not cause or permit any change in land use, within its
jurisdiction,that'will reduce its compatibility,with respect to the airport,of the noise compatibility program
measures upon which Federal funds have been expended.
22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without unjust
discrimination to all types,kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including commercial aeronautical
activities offering services to the public at the airport.
b. In any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right or privilege at the airport is
granted to any person, firm,or corporation to conduct or
Page 28 of 40
to engage in any aeronautical activity for furnishing services to the public at the airport,the sponsor will
insert and enforce provisions requiring the contractor to-
t) furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, basis to all users thereof, and
2) charge reasonable,and not unjustly discriminatory, prices for each unit or service, provided that the
contractor may be allowed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts, rebates, or other similar
types of price reductions to volume purchasers.
c. Each fixed-based operator at the airport shall be subject to the same rates,fees,rentals, and other
charges as are uniformly applicable to all other fixed-based operators making the same or similar uses of
such airport and utilizing the same or similar facilities.
d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to use
any fixed-based operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport to serve any air carrier at such airport.
e. Each air carrier using such airport(whether as a tenant, non-tenant, or subtenant of another air carrier
tenant)shall be subject to such nondiscriminatory and substantially_comparable rules,regulations,
conditions, rates, fees,rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities directly and substantially related
to providing air transportation as are applicable to all such air carriers which make similar use of such
airport and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable classifications such as tenants or non-tenants and
signatory carriers and non- signatory carriers.Classification or status as tenant or signatory shall not be
unreasonably withheld by any airport provided an air carrier assumes obligations substantially similar to
those already imposed on air carriers in such classification or status.
f. It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent any person,
firm, or corporation operating aircraft on the airport from performing any services on its own aircraft with
its own employees [including,but not limited to maintenance,repair, and fueling] that it may choose to
perform.
g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges referred to in this assurance, the
services involved will be provided on the same conditions as would apply to the furnishing of such services
by commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the sponsor under these provisions.
h. The sponsor may establish such reasonable,and not unjustly discriminatory, conditions to be met by
all users of the airport as may be necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the airport.
i. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of aeronautical
use of the airport if such action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the
civil aviation needs of the public.
Page 29 of 40
23. Exclusive Rights.
It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person providing, or intending to provide,
aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this paragraph,the providing of the services at an
airport by a single fixed-based operator shall not be construed as an exclusive right if both of the following
apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly,burdensome, or impractical for more than one fixed-based operator
to provide such services,and
b. If allowing more than one fixed-based operator to provide such services would require the reduction of
space leased pursuant to an existing agreement between such single fixed-based operator and such airport. It
further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or permit any person, firm, or corporation,
the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any aeronautical activities, including, but not limited to charter
flights,pilot training, aircraft rental and sightseeing, aerial photography,crop dusting, aerial advertising and
surveying, air carrier operations,aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation petroleum products whether or
not conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft, sale of
aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the operation of aircraft
can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will terminate any exclusive right to conduct an
aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before the grant of any assistance under Title 49,
United States Code.
24.Fee and Rental Structure.
It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and services at the airport which will make the
airport as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at the particular airport,taking into
account such factors as the volume of traffic and economy of collection.No part of the Federal share of
an airport development, airport planning or noise compatibility project for which a grant is made under
Title 49,United States Code,the Airport and Airway Improvement Act
of 1982,the Federal Airport Act or the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be included in
the rate basis in establishing fees, rates, and charges for users of that airport.
25. Airport Revenues.
a. All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel established after December
30, 1987,will be expended by it for the capital or operating costs of the airport;the local airport system; or
other local facilities which are owned or operated by the owner or operator of the airport and which are
directly and substantially related to the actual air transportation of passengers or property; or for noise
mitigation purposes on or off the airport. The following exceptions apply to this paragraph:
1) If covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued before September 3,
1982,by the owner or operator of the airport, or provisions enacted before September 3, 1982, in governing
statutes controlling the owner or operator's financing,provide for the use of the revenues from any of the
airport owner or operator's facilities,including the airport,to support not only the airport but also the airport
owner or operator's general debt obligations or other facilities,then this limitation on the use of all revenues
generated by the airport(and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall not apply.
2) If the Secretary approves the sale of a privately owned airport to a public sponsor and provides funding
for any portion of the public sponsor's acquisition of land,this limitation on the use of all revenues
generated by the sale shall not apply to certain proceeds from the sale. This is conditioned on repayment
to the Secretary by the private owner of an amount equal to the remaining unamortized portion(amortized
over a 20-year period)of any airport improvement grant made to the private owner for any purpose other
than land acquisition on or after October 1, 1996,plus an amount equal to the federal share of the current
fair market value of any land acquired with an airport improvement grant made to that airport on or after
October 1, 1996.
3) Certain revenue derived from or generated by mineral extraction,production, lease, or other means at a
Page 30 of 40
general aviation airport(as defined at Section 47102 of title 49 United States Code), if the FAA determines
the airport sponsor meets the requirements set forth in Sec. 813 of Public Law 112-95.
b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984,the sponsor will direct that
the audit will review,and the resulting audit report will provide an opinion concerning,the use of airport
revenue and taxes in paragraph(a),and indicating whether funds paid or transferred to the owner or
operator are paid or transferred in a manner consistent with Title 49,United States Code and any other
applicable provision of law, including any regulation promulgated by the Secretary or Administrator.
c. Any civil penalties or other sanctions will be imposed for violation of this assurance in accordance
with the provisions of Section 47107 of Title 49,United States Code.
26. Reports and Inspections.
It will:
a. submit to the Secretary such annual or special financial and operations reports as the Secretary may
reasonably request and make such reports available to the public; make available to the public at
reasonable times and places a report of the airport budget in a format prescribed by the Secretary,
b. for airport development projects,make the airport and all airport records and documents affecting
the airport, including deeds, leases,operation and use agreements,regulations and other instruments,
available for inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request;
c. for noise compatibility program projects, make records and documents relating to the project and
continued compliance with the terms, conditions,and assurances
of this grant agreement including deeds, leases, agreements,regulations, and other instruments,available for
inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request; and
make available to the public following each of its fiscal years, an annual report listing in detail:
1) all amounts paid by the airport to any other unit of government and the purposes for which each
such payment was made; and
2) all services and property provided by the airport to other units of government and the amount of
compensation received for provision of each such service and property.
27. Use by Government Aircraft.
It will make available all of the facilities of the airport developed with Federal financial assistance and all
those usable for landing and takeoff of aircraft to the United States for use by Government aircraft in
common with other aircraft at all times without charge, except, if the use by Government aircraft is
substantial,charge may be made for a reasonable share,proportional to such use, for the cost of operating
and maintaining the facilities used.Unless otherwise determined by the
Secretary, or otherwise agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by
Government aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in excess of those
which, in the opinion of the Secretary,would unduly interfere with use of the landing areas by other
authorized aircraft, or during any calendar month that—
a. Five(5)or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or on land adjacent thereto; or
b. The total number of movements(counting each landing as a movement)of Government aircraft is 300
or more, or the gross accumulative weight of Government aircraft using the airport(the total movement of
Government aircraft multiplied by gross weights of such aircraft) is in excess of five million pounds.
28. Land for Federal Facilities.
It will furnish without cost to the Federal Government for use in connection with any air traffic control or
Page 31 of 40
air navigation activities,or weather-reporting and communication activities related to air traffic control, any
areas of land or water,or estate therein, or rights in buildings of the sponsor as the Secretary considers
necessary or desirable for construction, operation, and maintenance at Federal expense of space or facilities
for such purposes. Such areas or any portion thereof will be made available as provided herein within four
months after receipt of a written request from the Secretary.
29. Airport Layout Plan.
a. It will keep up to date at all times an airport layout plan of the airport showing
1) boundaries of the airport and all proposed additions thereto,together with the boundaries of all offsite
areas owned or controlled by the sponsor for airport purposes and proposed additions thereto;
2) the location and nature of all existing and proposed airport facilities and structures(such as runways,
taxiways,aprons,terminal buildings, hangars and facilities;
3) the location of all existing and proposed nonaviation areas and of all existing improvements thereon;
and
4) all proposed and existing access points used to taxi aircraft across the airport's property boundary. Such
airport layout plans and each amendment, revision, or modification thereof, shall be subject to the approval
of the Secretary which approval shall be evidenced by the signature of a duly authorized representative of
the Secretary on the face of the airport layout plan. The sponsor will not make or permit any changes or
alterations in the airport or
any of its,facilities which are not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the Secretary
and which might, in the opinion of the Secretary,adversely affect the safety, utility or efficiency of the
airport.
b. If a change or alteration in the airport or the facilities is made which the Secretary determines adversely
affects the safety, utility, or efficiency of any federally owned, leased, or funded property on or off the
airport and which is not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the Secretary,the owner
or operator will, if requested,by the Secretary(1)eliminate such adverse effect in a manner approved by the
Secretary; or(2) bear all costs of relocating such
property(or replacement thereof)to a site acceptable to the Secretary and all costs of restoring such
property(or replacement thereof)to the level of safety, utility, efficiency, and cost of operation existing
before the unapproved change in the airport or its facilities except in the case of a relocation or replacement
of an existing airport facility due to a change in the Secretary's design standards beyond the control of the
airport sponsor.
30. Civil Rights.
It will promptly take any measures necessary to ensure that no person in the United
States shall, on the grounds of race, creed, color,national origin, sex, age, or
disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to
discrimination in any activity conducted with, or benefiting from, funds received from this grant.
a. Using the definitions of activity,facility and program as found and defined in §§
21.23 (b)and 21.23 (e)of 49 CFR§ 21,the sponsor will facilitate all programs,operate all facilities, or

arising under the acts,the regulations, and this assurance.
31. Disposal of Land.
a. For land purchased under a grant for airport noise compatibility purposes, including land serving as a
noise buffer, it will dispose of the land, when the land is no longer needed for such purposes, at fair market
value, at the earliest practicable time. That portion of the proceeds of such disposition which is
proportionate to the United States'share of acquisition of such land will be, at the discretion of the
Secretary, (1)reinvested in another project at the airport, or(2)transferred to another eligible airport as
prescribed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall give preference to the following, in descending order, (1)
reinvestment in an approved noise compatibility project, (2)reinvestment in an approved project that is
eligible for grant funding under Section 47117(e)of title
49 United States Code, (3)reinvestment in an approved airport development project that is eligible for grant
funding under Sections 47114, 47115,or 47117 of title 49 United States Code,(4)transferred to an eligible
sponsor of another public airport to be reinvested in' an approved noise compatibility project at that airport,
and(5)paid to the Secretary for deposit in the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. If land acquired under a
grant for noise compatibility purposes is leased at fair market value and consistent with noise buffering
purposes,the lease will not be considered a disposal of the land. Revenues derived from such a lease may
be used for an approved airport development project that would otherwise be eligible for grant funding or
any permitted use of airport revenue.
b. For land purchased under a grant for airport development purposes(other than noise compatibility), it
will,when the land is no longer needed for airport purposes, dispose of such land at fair market value or
make available to the Secretary an amount equal to the United States'proportionate share of the fair
market value of the land. That portion of the proceeds of such disposition which is proportionate to the
United States'share of the cost of acquisition of such land will,(1)upon application to the Secretary, be
reinvested or transferred to another eligible airport as prescribed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall
give preference to the following, in descending order: (1)reinvestment in an approved noise compatibility
project,(2)reinvestment in an approved project that is eligible for grant funding under Section 47117(e)of
title 49 United States Code,(3)reinvestment in an approved airport development project that is eligible for
grant funding under Sections 47114,47115, or 47117 of title 49 United States Code,(4)transferred to an
eligible sponsor of another public airport to be reinvested in an approved noise compatibility project at that
airport, and(5)paid to the Secretary for deposit in the Airport and Airway Trust Fund.
c. Land shall be considered to be needed for airport purposes under this assurance if(1)it may be needed
for aeronautical purposes(including runway protection zones)or serve as noise buffer land, and(2)the
revenue from interim uses of such land contributes to the financial self-sufficiency of the airport. Further,
land purchased with a grant received by an airport operator or owner before December
31, 1987,will be considered to be needed for airport purposes if the Secretary or Federal agency making
such grant before December 31, 1987, was notified by the operator or owner of the uses of such land, did
not object to such use,and the land continues to be used for that purpose, such use having commenced no
later than December 15, 1989.
d. Disposition of such land under(a)(b)or(o)will be subject to the retention or reservation of any
interest or right therein necessary to ensure that such land will only be used for purposes which are
compatible with noise levels associated with operation of the airport.
32. Engineering and Design Services.

adopted Resolution No. 4411-02-2015 supporting the closure and redevelopment of Runway 9/27 at
the Airport.
This project will remove the failed infrastructure encompassed in the closed Runway 9/27 corridor so

redevelopment of the midfield area will create new taxiways that will stimulate hangar development
opportunities and provide increased economic viability for the Airport through lease revenue and fuel
flowage fees.
