Title
PROPOSED 2017 AIRPORT BUDGET
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Council Initiative: Improve transportation systems
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: N/A
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The interlocal cooperation agreement for operation, repair, improvement, and regulation of the Southwest Washington Regional Airport calls for the airport board to submit a proposed annual budget to the parties (Longview, Kelso, Cowlitz County, and the Port of Longview) to the agreement. That proposed budget becomes the actual budget for the succeeding calendar year upon its approval by a majority of the parties.
Attached is copy of the draft budget for 2017 as of late July. As council knows, there have been discussions since then about amending and extending the interlocal agreement following its expiration early next year, and those discussions have included provisions about the budget that would require amending this draft. The airport board was scheduled to meet on September 15 and consider a revised budget. If a revised proposed budget is distributed to the parties prior to the council meeting on September 22, it will be substituted for this one.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review the proposed 2017 airport budget and indicate whether any revenues or expenditures are unacceptable. If the budget as presented appears to be acceptable, staff will prepare a resolution of approval for council action next month.
