Waterville Robert LaFleur Municipal Airport AIRPORT MASTER PLAN UPDATE CHAPTER 7 AIRPORT MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE ASSESSMENT
7.0 Airport Management Structure Assessment This Chapter comprised of Working Paper #4 - “Assessment for Creating an Airport Authority”: Summarizes findings to aid the City of Waterville in choosing the best course of action for the ownership and management of the Airport. 7.1 Review Current Management Structure As with Phase 1 of the Master Plan, the scope of work for this task involved the collection of data for the purpose of evaluating the City’s current Airport management structure. Based on information provided by the City, other data collection efforts, interviews with City personnel, Airport tenants and other Airport users, the objective was to: Evaluate how well the Airport is currently being managed as a city entity, both the Airfield Management and the FBO management. This effort will include a review and assessment of the Airport manager’s role & responsibilities, staffing issues, airfield operations, and budget requirements. Identify any (obvious or potential) problem areas in the current management structure. This task of the working paper focuses primarily on assessing the facility’s Airport management structure. The Phase II Master Plan Update discusses business planning issues as part of the Airport’s future implementation plan. Airport Management Historically, there was no legislative requirement in the State of Maine for cities or towns to provide a formal, full-time Airport manager. Title 6 of the Maine state statutes requires general aviation commercial Airports to have at least a part-time Airport manager 1 . Budgeting issues, municipal resources, aviation market demands and regional competition are just some of the factors that influence municipal leaders when considering the best management option for their Airport. With ever-increasing economic pressures and considering the nature of the state Airport system in Maine, in particular the relatively high number of Airports compared to the low number of based aircraft resulting in a diluted client base, it is not surprising that many host communities opt to manage their Airports with part-time personnel; in some cases there simply is not enough activity to warrant, or local resources to support, a full-time Airport manager. In other instances based aircraft numbers are higher, more transient activity occurs, Airport leasing potential is greater, and other development opportunities exist, which contribute to revenue streams that support more staff. This AMPU study addresses many of these issues as it relates to the Waterville Airport. 1 MRS Title 6 § 102.2 Airport Managers, paragraph A.
