engine T-hangars with 40-foot to 42-foot<br />
door openings rent from $195 per month<br />
to $301 per month. Hangars with<br />
larger doors rent between $235 per<br />
month to $385 per month.<br />
Lease receipts are obtained from those<br />
who lease <strong>City</strong>-owned buildings/hangars<br />
or have built private hangars with land<br />
leases. <strong>The</strong> typical lease rate is $0.08<br />
per square-foot per year. Tie-down<br />
charges are $55 per month. <strong>The</strong><br />
remaining revenue sources are from<br />
miscellaneous fees/charges.<br />
OPERATING EXPENSES<br />
Generalized operating expenses for<br />
<strong>Mesquite</strong> Metro Airport include<br />
personnel services, contractual services,<br />
wholesale fuel, supplies, debt<br />
service/amortization, and furniture,<br />
fixtures, and equipment. Fuel is the<br />
largest cost center for the <strong>airport</strong>, with<br />
personnel services being second, at<br />
nearly half as much. Personnel services<br />
include payments for pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
<strong>airport</strong> administration and fuel line<br />
support.<br />
Contractual services include payments<br />
made to contractors to maintain <strong>airport</strong><br />
navigational aids and storm water run<strong>of</strong>f<br />
and <strong>airport</strong> utility costs. Supplies<br />
generally include miscellaneous items<br />
including pr<strong>of</strong>essional memberships,<br />
subscriptions, etc.<br />
As is evident from the table, the <strong>airport</strong><br />
has not generally maintained a positive<br />
operational income over the last five<br />
years. <strong>The</strong> existing revenues do not<br />
generally meet operational costs.<br />

Airports similar to <strong>Mesquite</strong> Metro<br />
Airport typically do not maintain a<br />
positive operating income. It should<br />
always be a goal <strong>of</strong> a general aviation<br />
<strong>airport</strong> to be self-sufficient and<br />
hopefully generate a positive cash flow.<br />
<strong>The</strong> following section will discuss<br />
opportunities available for the <strong>airport</strong> to<br />
increase its revenues, over time, to<br />
achieve these goals.<br />
FUTURE CASH FLOW<br />
Revenues<br />
Revenues are anticipated to continue to<br />
grow with aviation activity. As more<br />
aircraft base at the <strong>airport</strong>, revenues<br />
from hangar rentals and fuel sales will<br />
increase proportionately. Revenues will<br />
also be bolstered by transient aircraft<br />
activity that increases fuel sales, and<br />
aviation business that can result in<br />
additional lease revenues for the<br />
<strong>airport</strong>. Commission fees are a service<br />
charge that the <strong>airport</strong> collects from<br />
FBOs based on the sale <strong>of</strong> certain<br />
products and services. Currently, there<br />
are no FBO commission fees collected;<br />
however, this is a possible revenue<br />
source as more businesses locate at the<br />
<strong>airport</strong>.<br />
As previously mentioned, existing<br />
<strong>airport</strong> revenues are derived from<br />
leases, hangar and building rentals, and<br />
fuel sales. Future revenue projections<br />
considered slightly increasing current<br />
fee rates for existing hangar and land<br />
leases. It is planned that future<br />
conventional and executive hangar<br />
construction will be by private entities.<br />
