Info

Established in 2000 as a part of the transfer of MPO from the State to Monroe County, the Airport authority was created in accordance with the Pennsylvania Municipalities Authority Act of 1945. The full act can be found in the appendix. The Authority is comprised of a nine member board and three full-time employees who maintain and operate the Airport on a day-to-day basis. Board members are appointed by the Monroe County Commissioners to five-year terms and are not limited in the number of appointments that they are allowed to serve. There are no minimum qualifications required of Source: AirNav board members to serve, only an interest in the successful operation of MPO. They serve as volunteers and are not compensated for their service. All human resource issues are addressed by a subcommittee of the Commissioners. Legal services are provided on an on-call basis from a local legal firm. The Airport staff handles all of the operating needs of the Airport, including fueling, maintenance, customer service, and snow removal. There currently are no contracted services utilized at MPO. An official organization chart does not exist for the Airport Authority, however based upon discussions with the Airport manager; the following org chart has been developed: POCONO MOUNTAINS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY Airport Authority LEGAL COUNCIL On - Call Local Law Firm SUBCOMMITTEE Grounds SUBCOMMITTEE Human Resources SUBCOMMITTEE Security SUBCOMMITTEE Marketing/ Business Development SUBCOMMITTEE Public Relations Airport Staff Airport Manager 2 Employees Funding for MPO comes from the County as a part of its standard budget. Revenues that are generated from leases at the Airport go towards the operating needs of the Airport. The operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year is currently in development, and will be provided once it is complete.

7.4 Comparable Airports: Lessons Learned and Best Practices The scope of the project called for a review of the lessons learned during the establishment of the Airport authorities at the comparable Airports, as well as a review of the best practices that are implemented for each Airport. During follow up interviews conducted with each Airport, it was reported by all Airport managers that the authorities were established an average of 30 years ago, prior to the tenure of any current member of Airport or authority staff that serves the Airport and therefore no one was able to speak on the topic of any lessons learned. In addition, each Airport manager reported that the Airports currently do not use an established set of best management practices. In light of this information, additional research was completed to identify published best practices that can be referenced by WVL during the development of its best practices. Two samples were identified and are summarized herein. “Arizona Best Practices Guide” (2007): Available online at www.azAirports.org Developed in cooperation by the Arizona Airports Association (AzAA), the FAA’s Western Pacific Region, and the Arizona Department of Transportation – Aeronautics Division, the purpose of this Guide is to clarify roles, responsibilities, and expectations of all affected parties when conducting Airport related business, as well as to ensure that issues are addressed and dealt with in a uniform manner. It identifies the roles and responsibilities of each agency; the processes involved with general service agreements, Airport capital improvement plans, environmental overviews, FAA & ADO funding resources, and bids; contractor allowances (defined as the sum of money available to help pay the expense of any unforeseen circumstance to help contractors cover additional eligible costs incurred during construction that otherwise would require processing amendments); and the sponsor contact list. “Aviation Best Practices Report of New York State” (2000): Available online at www.nysdot.gov The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) in cooperation with the state’s Airports developed this report as a compilation of practices and ideas submitted by Airports and consultants in response to a survey conducted by NYSDOT. Its intent is to serve as a medium for the exchange of experiences and to promote discussion on continuous improvement efforts employed in the aviation industry. As a fluid document, the State openly invites Airports to send in additional suggestions and recommendations for periodic updates of the report. The report identifies best practices for: Management Practices (e.g. Airport management, FBO management, land Use/zoning, and noise abatement) Operations Practices (e.g. Snow removal, pavement management/maintenance, environmental management, deicing, obstruction removal/management) Aviation Awareness Practices (e.g. Aviation safety and education) Marketing/Public Relations Practices \ Economic Development Practices (e.g. Improving air service and business development) While both documents can provide WVL with invaluable insight into best management practices, certain topics apply more directly to the immediate goal of improving the management of WVL. For example, the identification of agency roles and responsibilities and recommended communication processes found in the “Arizona Best Practices Guide” could streamline the establishment of any new management structure.
