Item No. 6.E.
For Meeting of: March 6, 2018
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing acceptance of Passenger Facility Charge
revenues from U.S. Department of Transportation
SUBMITTED BY: Robert K. Peterson, Airport Director, 509-575-6149
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program allows the collection of PFC fees up to $4.50 for
every boarded passenger at commercial airports controlled by public agencies.
These funds can be allocated and used by the City for the financing and construction of capital
improvements and as the City's share of matching funds for construction of capital improvements
to the Yakima Air Terminal -McAllister Field and its facilities. Approved Federal Aviation
Administration projects include pavement preservation, airfield lighting, pavement deicing
equipment, obstruction removal, and required updates to the Airport Layout Plan. These projects
will ultimately enhance safety, security and capacity at the Yakima Air Terminal -McAllister Field.

estimated to be approximately 5-80 hours per response, depending on the complexity of the PFC collection. The use of the form is required to obtain FAA approval of
authority to collect PFC revenue (49 U.S.C. 40117(c)). The FAA will use collected data to determine eligibility far collecting PFC revenues for airport development
projects related to safety, security, or capacity of the national air transportation system, or which reduce noise or mitigate noise impacts resulting from an airport; or

PASSENGER FACILITY C RGE PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS:
Airport Layout Plan with Narrative Update
The Airport Master Plan update was adopted by City Council in 2015. This plan provides a 5-, 10-, and 20 -
year forecast for future development of the airport. Since adoption, the airport has witnessed significant
growth in passengers utilizing the airport and infrastructure improvements including the 21st Avenue and
Airport Lane project. The Federal Aviation Administration (F A ) requires all new and future hangars or
facility improvements to be documented on the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) in order to receive federal funding.
Since the plans for airport development are always changing, the ALP requires periodic updates in order to
meet FAA requir ents.
As part of the ALP update, the F • A will include an obstruction survey called Airport Geospatial Information
System (AGIS) in support of NexGen. This process will incorporate data needed to develop satellite -based
approach procedures and to better utilize and manage the National Airspace System.
Runway and T iway Liquid Deicer Storage Tank and Spreader
In 2016, the F • • adopted new safety standards applicable to winter weather operations (Takeoff and Landing
Performance Assessment) to increase safety meas s for commercial, corporate, and General Aviation aircraft
that operate during snow and ice conditions. Upon review of the Yakima Air Terminal -McAllister Field's
Snow and Ice Control Plan, it has been identified that additional Snow Removal Equipment (SRE) and deicing
equipment is required in order to meet the new safety standards. The addition of Runway and Taxiway deicer
will help in freezing ram or icing events. Currently, the airport does not have the appropriate equipment to
address freezing rain or icing events and therefore is required to close the airport until the ice has melted. In
8
order for the airport to start utilizing deicer chemicals, the airport would need to acquire deicing applicator
equipment and storage tank. By investing in airport deicer equipment and the deice chemical, it will help
ensure the airport remains open during most inclement weather events, while also increasing safety standards
as aircraft depart and arrive.
Crack Seal Airfield Surfaces
Taxiway Charlie "C" and adjacent asphalt serves airlines so they may traverse from the adjacent taxiway to the
terminal ramp in order to board and deplane passengers. It has been identified in the Airport's Master Plan
under the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) section that Taxiway C and adjacent pavement requires
maintenance to further preserve the aging asphalt. The PCI report assigned the asphalt a PCI value of 50-70,
which places the asphalt in the preventative maintenance category. Crack sealing the asphalt will assist with
preserving the 2005 pavement and increase the overall life expectancy while reducing Foreign Object Debris
hazards.
Obstruction Removal and Wildlife Mitigation
The Yakima Air Terminal -McAllister Field is required to preserve the airspace around the airport to ensure no
obstructions penetrate the Part 77 Navigable airspace. Additionally, the airport is required under Part 139 to
uphold its Wildlife Hazardous Management Plan (WH ) to ensure the airport reduces the amount of wildlife
attractants. The airport has identified three areas of concem where large trees have grown and are close to
penetrating the Part 77 navigable airspace. Additionally, the airport has witnessed these trees continue to
attract large birds of prey as they traverse within the airport's environment. Removing these trees will not only
ensure compliance with airspace requirements it will assist the airport in reducing the wildlife attractants, This
in turn will increase the safety of aircraft and airlines as they arrive and depart the airport.
Runway 9/27 High Intensity Runway Lights Replacement (Design and Engineering) and Runway Fog Seal
The Y. a Air Terminal -McAllister Field consists of two runways to provide aircraft operations. Runway
9/27 is the primary runway which is approximately 7,604 feet long by 150 feet wide. Runway 9/27 High
Intensity Runway Lights (HIRL) was installed in 1998 and are tested on a daily basis by airfield electricians.
It's been noted within the airfield maintenance records that some sections of electrical wiring are below the
FAA's recommended operating range of 50 ohms Additionally, the airport continues to spend time and funds
replacing older fi transformers to ensure the system r ain operational for airlines during inclement
weather and nighttime. This project would initiate design and engine 'ng services to replace all associated
conduit, transformers, and lights in 2020. Furthermore, it's been noted the asphalt will require some crack and
fog sealing to enhance the asphalt life expectancy by 25-30%. As the airport replaces certain sections of
runway lighting, it will be a prime oppo y to conduct crack and fog sealing operations,

Robert K. Peterson
