Item No. 6.F.
For Meeting of: March 17, 2020
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing an amendment to Passenger Facility Charge
application PFC-19-18-C-00-YKM with the U.S. Department of
Transportation
SUBMITTED BY: Robert K. Peterson,Airport Director, 509-575-6149
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
On June 12, 2019, the City received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to collect
and use revenues from Passenger Facility Charges, up to a maximum of $192,500, to be
allocated and used by the City for the financing and construction of various capital improvements
and as the City's share of matching funds for construction of capital improvements to the Yakima
Air Terminal-McAllister Field. Capital improvements may include, but are not limited to:
rehabilitating the primary Runway 9/27 High Intensity Runway Lighting system and associated
electrical components and pavement maintenance to include crack, fog seal, and update
pavement markings. The original matching fund application that was submitted last year was
based on initial engineering estimates. All projects have been fully designed and engineered and
as a result, the airport has identified the need to collect additional revenues in order to meet the
airport's local match requirements for the planned capital improvement projects.
The airport held an airline consultation meeting on March 9, 2020 to review the Capital
Improvement Projects and highlighted the need to collect and use additional Passenger Facility
Charge funds in order to complete the planned Capital Improvement Projects and the airlines
approved the collection of such funds. The City seeks to amend the Passenger Facility Charge
application PFC-19-18-C-00-YKM in order to collect an additional $73,500, thereby increasing
the maximum amount of funds collected to $266,000.
