3. Ordinance 1622 - Civil Penalties - Kalispell City Airport - 2nd ReadingCity of Kalispell Charles A. Harball office of City Attorney City Attorney 312 First Avenue East P.O. Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59903-1997 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Pamela B. Kennedy and Kalispell City Council FROM: Charles Harball, City Attorney James H. Patrick, City Manager Tel 406.758.7708 Fax 406.758.7771 charball@kalispell.com SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 1622 — Imposition of Municipal Infractions for Violations of City Airport Regulations MEETING DATE: September 17, 2007, Regular Council Meeting BACKGROUND: The City Airport Manager is requesting that violations of City Airport Regulations be civil infractions and enforced as such rather than criminal misdemeanors. This would follow the pattern that the City has taken with parking and certain zoning violations. Given the nature of these offenses, the City Council determined that it was more appropriate to pursue the enforcement through civil means rather than prosecuted as a crime and all of the implications that entails. The City enabling legislation for municipal infractions has been attached and will be discussed during the meeting. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council should consider passing the second reading of Ordinance No. 1622 and thereby authorizing the enforcement of the City Airport Regulations through the mechanism of the Civil Infraction. FISCAL EFFECTS: The fiscal effect of this action is minimal as it is not to be used as a mechanism for generating revenue but rather to enforce the airport regulations which are generally followed by most users of the airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contends that it is the prerogative of the airport owner (sponsor) to impose Standard Operating Procedures for the safe operation and use of its airport. Airport owners in exchange for Federal funding to assist in developing runways, taxiways, etc, should establish Standard Operating Procedures along with Minimum Standards for those wishing to provide aeronautical services on their airport. Both procedures should be fair and equitable for all users of their facilities. These Standard Operating Procedures adopted by the City of Kalispell, as owner of the Kalispell City Airport, are designed to minimize aviation accidents in the air and on the ground. It is the intent of the City of Kalispell to provide the safest possible atmosphere for the conduct of aviation operations for our tenants, guests, residents, students and employees. Failure to abide by these Standard Operating Procedures could result in expulsion from the airport property and/or civil penalties. The City of Kalispell shall exercise full authority over the operations of its airport. es Patrick, City Manager Fred Leistiko, Airport Manager The following resources were consulted in the preparation of this document: Federal Aviation Administration, Helena, Montana American Association of Airport Executives National Alr Transportation Association Montana Aeronautical Division -- MDOT %lontana Airport Managers Association Airport Ou-ners and Pilots Association 11lathead N-lunicipal Airport Authority Kalispell City Airport Advisory Council Tenants rants and U' se rs of the Kalispell C:` i ty Airport DEFINITIONS Abandoned vehicle - Any vehicle which has remained stationary on the Airport in excess of 72 hours and is in a condition that would render the vehicle un-drivable, including expired license plates, missing or flat tire, broken window, etc. Aeronautical Activity -- means any activity conducted at the airport which involves, makes passible or is required for the operation of aircraft, or which contributes to or is required for the safety of such operations.
