    7E5. Request Approval of the Aerobatics Event License Agreement between Marion

    County Airport and IAC.Chapter 89, Inc. (Budget Impaci- Revenue of $2,500)

    The Board accepted the following recommendation as presented by Parks and Recreation

    Director Couillard:

    Description/Background: Over the past six months, and under the guidance of the airport manager Mike Grawe, staff has found opportunities to improve processes by formally establishing contracts for events at the Marion County Airport. As the ovmer of the Airport, the Board of County Commissioners ,:... Dunnellon Airport Authority has the ability to charge fees for the use of the facilities which is consistent ~ith other facilities operated by Parks and Recreation. The Snowbird Classic Aerobatic Event is scheduled to start on Thursday, March 28, 2019 and end on Saturday, March 30,2019.Pa'riicipants will·have use of the airfield as well as the support facilities. Historically, event holders have, not been required to pay a fee for the use of the Airport instead, . .revenue was gemerated through fuel sales, however; after careful review by staff, it is apparent that the amount of fuel sales during this event is ,drastically lower than what normal fuel sales would be if . the event did not occur. ' , Additionally, this competition is being held the same weekend as the Sun 'n Fun International Fly-In Expo in Lakeland, Florida. The Marion County Airport historically receives addition~1 revemJes through fuel'sales during this event due to the Airport's well-known "lowest fuel prices" by the aviation community that-flies to and from the Lakeland event. It is projected that the Airport will suffer a loss in fuel revenues as planes will not be able to land to fuel up during the Snowbird Classic' Aerobatic \ Event. As a result of the findings, staff has created an event license' agreement for events held at the Airport, This agreement includes a fee.of $2,500 to use the grounds and facilities; costs associated:"with erecting a judge's tent, providing vehicle access routes to the judging area, providing designated parkiligf6rairplanes and vehicles while' providing operational customer service and primary access to the Airport offices, briefing rooms cmd pilot's lounge.
