Background
On October 26, 2010, M&C C-24559, the City Council authorized an agreement with Aviation
Management Consulting Group (AMCG) to update the Aviation Minimum Standards and develop
an Aviation Leasing Policy for the City's airports. These documents are described as follows:
Aviation Minimum Standards — This document, common to airports, outlines the standards to
provide services at the airports such as aircraft maintenance, flight training, aircraft fueling, etc.
The intent of the standards are to assure companies can provide services, and compete with
each other on a level playing field, while meeting the basic needs of customers, The Aviation
Minimum Standards for Fort Worth were last updated in 1992.
Aviation Leasing Policy — This document will outline the parameters for leasing airport property
and improvements. The objective is to balance the private sector interest to conduct a profitahl.t
business, with the City interest to manage scarce land resources and produce sufficient revenud
to maintain the airports.
City staff involved in reviews included the Aviation Director, Airport Managers, Administrative
Manager, Leasing Specialist, and 3 members of the Aviation Advisory Board (J.D. Jimmerson,
Richard Fahy, and William Cranz). Also included were the City Attorney, Housing and Economic
Development and Risk Management. The 3 internal review phases concluded in late August.
