ITEM NUMBER: 23
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: September 16, 2008
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Mike Freeman
Dave Gordon
SUBJECT
Resolution 2008-088 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Long-Term Airport Access
Agreement with Rocky Mountain Airport Investments, LLC and Related Intergovernmental
Agreements with Metropolitan Districts at the Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
As part of the overall proposed agreement with Rocky Mountain Airport Investments, LLC
(hereinafter the "Developer"), the Developer has agreed (specified in the attached Access
Agreement and Intergovernmental Agreement)to provide proceeds from a Metropolitan District(5
mills) to the Airport in exchange for access to the Airport for aviation related uses. The payment
from the Metropolitan District is estimated at$56,000 in the first year of formation to $400,000 by
year 10. The total estimated revenue to the Airport from the Metropolitan District over the first 10
years totals $2.4 million.
The Cities of Fort Collins and Loveland have been searching for new revenue streams for the
Airport that will ultimately eliminate the $60,000 to $100,000 (for each City) yearly contribution
to the Airport for operating expenses. Staff s opinion is that this is the first of several significant
steps the Airport can take in the coming 5-10 years to improve the Airport's cash flow and eliminate
the Cities' subsidy. Without the contributions of this development, it is unlikely in the short-term
that Airport finances will change significantly. The use of the Metropolitan District is an innovative
solution to providing long-term financing to the Airport in exchange for access. Metropolitan
Districts provide stable property tax based revenue that will grow as the assessed valuation of the
Airpark grows with development.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Beginning in 2007, City staff from Fort Collins and Loveland worked on a proposal by Rocky
Mountain Airport Investments,LLC(the"Developer")to develop an airpark located to the southeast
and north of Airport, and access the airfield for limited aeronautical purposes through-the-fence.
The Developer owns 200 acres adjacent to the Fort Collins—Loveland Municipal Airport(Airport),
the property is divided into two parcels; one is identified as the north parcel and the other is the
southeast parcel.
i
September 16, 2008 -2- Item No. 23
The Access Agreement contemplates a 50 year Airport access easement, with a 30 year extension
to permit the airpark to access the airfield from its property for limited aeronautical uses which are
defined in detail in the Agreement. The 30 year extension would occur only if the Developer
successfully acquires a Fixed Base Operator (FBO) lease with the Cities and invests an estimated
$7.0 million into improving and upgrading the FBO facilities. The current FBO facilities are in need
of significant upgrades.
In return for the access to the Airport,the Developer will create a metropolitan district that includes
the Airpark properties, and will commit 5 mills of property taxes to the Airport in exchange for
access. The payment from the Metro District satisfies the Airpark's need to provide an access fee
to the Airport. This revenue projection for the first ten years of the Metro District payment
beginning in 2011 equals$2.4 million. Any revenue generated by the Airport is restricted to Airport
uses and cannot be returned to the owner cities per FAA regulations.
BACKGROUND
The proposed Access Agreement provides significant benefits to the Airport and Cities by furthering
the goal of increasing revenue to the Airport to eliminate the general subsidy that the Cities provide.
This is one of the most significant goals outlined by the Airport Steering Committee and is included
in the Airport's Business Plan that is being developed. The Access Agreement also contains a
provision that allows for a 30 year extension to the term if the Developer enters into an on-Airport
fixed base operator (FBO) lease with the Cities that includes the expenditure of approximately $7
million by the Developer on new FBO buildings, facilities, equipment and related infrastructure.
These improvements will greatly improve the Airport's image and amenities for pilots, airline
personnel and the travelling public. Without a significant infusion of private capital into the FBO,
staff does not see any other means for making the improvements that are necessary to keeping the
Airport competitive and attractive.
There are two kinds of development that generally impact Airports, development that takes place
on the Airport property (or within the fence), and those that happen adjacent to the Airport that
access the Airport through the fence. The Airport is a significant community asset that has been
largely funded through Federal funds coming from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
There are advantages and disadvantages to either development on Airport or adjacent. On-Airport
development takes place on publically owned land and improvements (i.e., a hangar) ultimately
revert back to the Airport once the long-term lease is completed. The on-Airport lease and rate
ensures that the user is paying its fair share for accessing the Airport and its benefits.
Off-Airport developments that literally access the Airport "through the fence" (TTF) also have to
pay for the privilege of accessing a public facility. The TTF payments to access the Airport
typically take the form of an access fee that is charged when users come on the Airport to use
facilities. The payment to the Airport from an off-site user has to equal what the on-Airport user
pays; this is called "parity".
The core issue in negotiating the Access Agreement and IGA with Developer has been working to
achieve parity. This is done through the formation of the Metro District that will pay for the
Airpark's access fees. Properties within the Metro District will contribute 5 mills to the Airport as
their fee. Periodically,the Airpark and Airport will evaluate the sufficiency of the 5 mills to ensure
i
September 16, 2008 -3- Item No. 23
that parity is being maintained as the Airport increases its on-Airport lease rates and as the Airpark
builds out.
Financial Analysis
The Developer will form a Metro District with a 5 mill rate that will generate property tax revenue
for the Airport in exchange for paying an Airport access fee. It is assumed that the Metro District
will be in place by the beginning of 2010 and will begin making payments in the year after it is
formed. The Developer has an aggressive build-out plan for the Airpark that has been shared with
City staff. City staff is more comfortable projecting a slower build out rate for the project to ensure
that financial projections to the Airport are not over estimated.
Staff project that in 2011, the Airpark project will contribute $56,000 in revenue to the Airport,
growing to over$400,000 by 2020. This assumes that around 1.5 million square feet are developed
over this time period, or around 150,000 sq feet per year. Staff believes this is a reasonable build-
out schedule. Should the Developer successfully built out the project faster, the Airport would
receive additional revenue growth from the growth in assessed valuation and taxable property.
• Major Provisions of the Access Agreement and Intergovernmental Agreement
Term of the Agreement
The Access Agreement and the access easement granted in this Access Agreement shall terminate
fifty(50)years after the effective date of the IGA. In the event that the Developer enters into a fixed
base operator("FBO")lease with the Cities and the Developer timely and substantially satisfies all
its obligations under that lease to build on the Airport new FBO buildings,facilities,equipment and
related infrastructure,the Agreement and the access easement granted herein shall instead terminate
eighty (80) years after the effective date of the IGA. The Developer must invest an estimated $7
million into the FBO facilities to secure the additional 30 years on the lease. The exact timing and
amount of the investment in the FBO will be specified in the lease that has yet to be finalized and
signed.
Use of Metro District
The Developer intends to establish and record certain covenants,conditions and restrictions against
the real property that makes up the Airpark. The Developer intends to establish one or more Metro
Districts("Districts")which shall,in part,manage the common areas of the Airpark and enforce the
Airpark Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R's).
Access to the Airport is contingent upon the Cities' prior execution of Intergovernmental
Agreement(s), IGA, with the Districts for aircraft access and use of the Airport from the Airpark
under the terms and conditions stated in the Access Agreement. Prior to approval of the IGA the
following conditions must be met:
• The Airpark is under actual construction.
• The construction and improvement of taxilanes connecting the Airpark and the Airport are
completed and acceptable to the Cities.
r
September 16, 2008 -4- Item No. 23
• The Metro District(s)are established in good standing and capable of imposing the 5.0 mill
levy on the Adjacent Property together with any required adjustments thereto, and are
capable of paying the Fee to the Cities and to pay the Cities any additional amount required
in the IGA. The Metro District(s) shall also be required to have full voter authorization to
increase the mill levy on the Adjacent Property, without the requirement of any future
election, in order to provide any increases in revenue to the Cities as necessary to maintain
compliance with the Cities' FAA grant assurances.
• The Developer grants the Cities an access easement on the Airpark taxilane for emergency
vehicles, FBO vehicles, maintenance/safety inspections, etc.
• The Airpark's CC&R's are recorded and in effect against the Airpark.
• The construction of the Airport Taxiway is completed and deemed acceptable by the Cities.
• Developer agrees that no final plat shall be approved by the City of Loveland for any portion
of land within the southeast parcel or within the north parcel of the Adjacent Property until
such time as an IGA has first been entered into by the Cities with the Metro District(s) for
either the entire southeast parcel or for the entire north parcel respectively. This restriction
on the final plat approval shall not survive beyond the expiration of this Agreement.
Payment of Airport Access Fees
In consideration of gaining access to the Airport's facilities Access Fees will be paid to the Cities
as follows:
• The Metro Districts will enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with Cities.
• The Districts will pay to the Cities, subject to annual adjustments, an amount equal to 5.0
mills ("Fee")based on the assessed value of all taxable real property and improvements,
(excluding personal property) within the Adjacent Property.
• The Fee is intended, with annual adjustments, to provide the Airport with a source of
revenue which is equal to, or greater than,the revenue that would otherwise be provided if
the Airpark were developed upon Airport property. In addition,the Fee is intended to ensure
that the Lot Owners within the Airpark pay fees and charges to the Cities that are at parity
with those paid to the Cities by their on-Airport tenants.
• The Cities shall have the ability to close access to the Airport through the point of
ingress/egress in the event of nonpayment of the Fees due from the District(s).
Termination of the Access Agreement
The Access Agreement can be terminated for the following reasons:
• If, with regard to the southeast parcel of the Adjacent Property, all of the conditions stated
above have not been fully satisfied and an IGA for this parcel has not been entered into
within 36 months of the date of this Agreement.
• If, with regard to the remainder of the Adjacent Property(north parcel) all of the conditions
stated above have not been fully satisfied and the IGA for this parcel has not been entered
into within 120 months of the date of the Agreement.
• If, the Developer provides written notice of termination to the Cities.
• If, the Developer does not make payments required under the terms of the Agreement and
under any IGA.
September 16, 2008 -5- Item No. 23
Litigation Expenses and Attorney's Fees
In the event of the default of any of the provisions of the Access Agreement or the IGA by either
party, as determined by a court, the defaulting party shall be liable to the non-defaulting party for
the non-defaulting party's reasonable costs of litigation incurred by reason of the default,including
reasonable attorneys' fees.
Most Commercial Aeronautical Services are NOT permitted within the Adjacent Airport
Property:
• Uses not allowed are those which are normally provided by the on-Airport FBO(s). The uses
not allowed include:
• Aircraft Line Services;aircraft,airframe and engine repair and maintenance;flight training;
aircraft rental; storage of aviation fuels and related other services such as the sale of air
charts and miscellaneous pilots supplies.
Commercial Aeronautical uses that are allowed include the following:
• The construction of hangars/buildings that are used for the storage, servicing and
maintenance of aircraft that are used for private corporate or personal use; aircraft research
and development;aircraft manufacturing of parts and components;assembly of aircraft parts
and components; final assembly of aircraft parts and components into completed aircraft;
flight testing associated with assembled aircraft;painting of manufactured aircraft and parts;
and air freight services.
• The Developer may not enter into a contract that prohibits any on-Airport FBO from selling
fuel to tenants of the Airpark.
• The Developer shall grant to the Cities an Avigation Easement which grants users of the
Airport the right to fly over the Airpark property and make noise, vibrations and emissions
associated with aircraft and the Airport's other activities.
Obligations of Developer:
• Taxilane construction — the Developer is responsible for paying for the taxilane
improvements that will connect the Airpark site with the Airport property.
• Security plan—the Developer must ensure there is an Airpark security plan in place that is
in full compliance with Transportation Security Administration and FAA rules and
regulations.
• FBO Investment —to secure the longer lease term, the developer needs to acquire an on-
Airport FBO lease from the Cities and invest an estimated$7 million into new and improved
FBO facilities and amenities.
• Avigation easement on its property — the Developer shall grant the cities an Avigation
Easement to ensure that Airport operations adjacent and around the Airpark properties are
not compromised.
• Non-compromise of FNL activities — the Developer agrees that nothing in the Access
Agreement or Intergovernmental Agreement will impact ongoing Airport operations or
implementation of long-term plans.
i
September 16, 2008 -6- Item No. 23
• Minimum Standards Compliance—the Developer agrees to abide by the Airport Minimum
Standards within the Airpark property as they currently exist or may be amended by the
Cities in the future.
• Grant assurances—In the event that the FAA notifies the Cities verbally or in writing of an
alleged violation of its grant assurances to the FAA as a result of this Agreement, or as a
result of the action or inaction of any off-Airport uses, the Developer shall fully cooperate
with the Cities to immediately rectify such violation. In the event that the FAA notifies the
Cities formally of such a violation, such as but not limited to notification by a Director's
Determination, the Cities may, in their sole discretion and without being required to appeal
any such FAA determination, terminate this Agreement and any access to the Airport
granted pursuant to this Agreement. However, if the FAA grants to the Cities a period of
time to cure the violation,the Cities agree,prior to such termination,to allow the Developer
that period of time to cure the circumstances causing the grant assurance violation.
FAA Commentary
Throughout the past 16 months the FAA has been consulted by the Cities on numerous occasions,
including in meeting with local leaders and the Colorado Congressional delegation. The FAA does
not offer an opinion on through-the-fence agreements, it only offers advisement. Staff and the
Developer have worked to address all the issues raised by FAA, including term, language on grant
assurances, relief of issues, parity between on and off Airport uses, and security provisions.
In the event a party on the Airport feels discriminated against by the uses off the Airport, there is
a formal FAA process,known as a Part 16 complaint,that would be heard within the FAA process
to determine if such a complaint had merit.

CITIES OF LOVELAND AND FORT COLLINS
AIRPORT ACCESS AGREEMENT
THIS FORT COLLINS/LOVELAND AIRPORT ACCESS AGREEMENT (the
"Agreement") is made and entered into this day of
2007, between and among Rocky Mountain Airport Investments, LLC, a limited liability
company ("Developer") and the Cities of Fort Collins and Loveland, Colorado home rule
municipalities, hereinafter jointly the "Cities."
RECITALS
A. Cities operate a municipal airport within their jurisdiction in Larimer County,
Colorado, known as the Fort Collins/Loveland Municipal Airport (the "Airport"), which is
legally described in EXHIBIT "A"attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference,
and further described in the Intergovernmental Agreement between the Cities of Fort
Collins and Loveland, Colorado, dated May 16, 2000.
B. Developer is the owner and developer of certain parcels of real property which are
immediately adjacent to the Airport (the "Adjacent Property"). Developer desires to develop
portions of the Adjacent Property as an airpark which will be comprised of all the platted lots
within the Adjacent Property that border and that have, or are capable of having, aircraft
access to the Airport from said individual lots ("the Airpark"). The Adjacent Property is
more particularly identified in the legal description and map depiction attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference as EXHIBIT "B." NOTE THAT EXHIBIT B WILL
SEPARATELY IDENTIFY THE NORTH PARCEL AND THE SOUTHEAST
PARCEL.
C. Developer intends to establish and record certain covenants, conditions and restrictions
(the "Airpark CC&R's") against the real property that makes up the Airpark. Developer
intends to establish one or more Metro Districts, hereinafter referred to collectively as
"Districts", which shall, in part, manage the common areas of the Airpark and enforce the
Airpark CC&R's.
D. Developer desires to have the Cities allow Developer and his successors and assigns, the
individual lot owners within the Airpark ("the Lot Owners"), and the Lot Owners' tenants,
subtenants, guests and invitees within the Airpark to access the Airport from the Airpark and
to access the Airpark from the Airport, subject to the Airpark CC&R's.
E. In consideration for the access to the Airport from the Airpark, the Developer desires for
the Cities to enter into intergovernmental agreements with the Districts under which the
Districts shall, subject to annual adjustment, pay annually to the Cities an amount equal to 5.0
mills based on the assessed value of all taxable real property and improvements (excluding
personal property) within the Adjacent Property. The parties hereto acknowledge that this
five mill fee (the"Fee") with annual adjustments, is intended to provide the Airport with a
I
I
source of revenue which is equal to, or greater than, the revenue that would otherwise be
provided if the Airpark were developed upon Airport property. In addition, the Fee is
intended to ensure that the Lot Owner pays fees and charges to the Cities that are at parity
with those paid to the Cities by their on-Airport tenants.
F. Cities are willing to enter into such intergovernmental agreements provided that all of the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement are fully satisfied.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the mutual
promises and agreement set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Cities' Grant of Access Easement. Developer presently owns two parcels of land that
may be developed at different times and that may comprise the Airpark. Cities and the Developer
agree that the Developer and his successors and assigns, the Lot Owners, and the Lot Owners'
tenants, subtenants, guests and invitees within the Airpark, shall have an aircraft access easement to
the Airport through the designated Point of Ingress/Egress (defined in Paragraph 3.1 below) for the
term hereinafter set forth in Paragraph 11. below. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to
the Airpark CC&R's against the property that makes up the Airpark, the access easement to the
Airport granted herein includes permission to use the airside and public area of the Airport for the
purposes stated in Paragraph 3.1 below, and includes both permission to enter upon the Airport from
the Airpark and to exit from the Airport to the Airpark. The access easement granted herein is
contingent upon the prior execution of intergovernmental agreement(s) with the Districts for aircraft
access and use of the Airport from the Airpark under the terms and conditions stated in this
Agreement, which said intergovernmental agreements shall be substantially in the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT "C"(the"IGA"), provided that all of the following conditions have been fully
satisfied prior to execution of the IGA:
1.1. The Airpark is under actual construction.
1.2. The construction and improvement of taxilanes connecting both the Airpark and
the Airport to that certain point along the perimeter of the Airport, which Cities and
Developer have mutually determined to be the appropriate location for access between
the Airport and the Airpark (the "Point of Ingress/Egress"), is completed and deemed
acceptable by the Cities. However, the Cities and the Developer acknowledge and
agree that the exact location of the Point of Ingress/Egress must first be approved by
the FAA. The taxilanes must meet such additional requirements as may be stated
under Paragraph 2. of this Agreement. Acceptance by Cities as used herein means
approval by the City Managers of the Cities or designees, and is in addition to any
development approvals otherwise required by the Cities' Codes. All construction and
improvement of the taxilanes must comply with any applicable local, state or federal
laws or regulations.
1.3. The District(s) are established in good standing and capable of imposing the 5.0
mill levy on the Adjacent Property together with any required adjustments thereto,

3.3 of the IGA. The District(s) shall also be required to have full voter authorization
under Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution ("TABOR") to increase the mill
levy on the Adjacent Property, without the requirement of any future election, in order to
provide any increases in revenue to the Cities as necessary to maintain compliance with
the Cities' grant assurances to the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") and to enter
into the IGA as a fully enforceable multi-fiscal year financial obligation under TABOR.
(This provision shall apply separately to the southeast parcel and to the north parcel of
the Adjacent Property.)
1.4. Developer hereby grants to Cities an access easement on the Airpark taxilane for
the purposes described in Paragraph 3 of this Agreement for the term set forth in
Paragraph 11. below.
1.5. The Airpark Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of Record
("CC&R's"), containing provisions which include those listed in Paragraph 10 of this
Agreement, are recorded and in effect against the Airpark.
1.6 The construction of the Airport Taxiway is completed and deemed acceptable by the
Cities as described in Subparagraph 2.2 of this Agreement.
2. Construction of Taxilanes.

Developer's sole expense, the Airpark taxilane. Construction and improvement of the
Airpark taxilane shall connect the taxilane, on one end, to the Airport boundary at the
Point of Ingress/Egress, and on the other end, to the individual lots of the Airpark. The
construction and improvement of the Airpark taxilane shall also include the permanent
installation of vehicle barrier fencing and access control gates establishing a perimeter
between the public roadway fronting the Adjacent Property and the Aircraft Operating
Area("AOA") on the Airpark and Airport property. The barrier and gates may attach to
a building or structure on an individual lot in the Airpark where such building or
structure provides the barrier to such access to the AOA. Developer shall construct a
fence, to the design designated by the Cities, along the common boundary between the
Airport and the Airpark(excluding the Point of Ingress/Egress). This fence and gate
shall become the Cities' property and shall be maintained by the Cities. However, the
District shall reimburse the Cities for their costs to maintain the fence and gate as
provided in paragraph 3.6 of the IGA. All security related improvements shall be
constructed in conformance with the Security Plan as described in Paragraph 17. below.
2.2. Airport Taxiway Construction. The taxiway Alpha A-1 Extension located at the
southeast corner of the current ramp has been constructed by the Cities. This construction
falls approximately 160 feet short of the Airpark property line. The Developer shall
complete construction of this portion of the taxiway, to the design standards designated
by the Cities, to the Airpark property line at its sole expense and without reimbursement
from the Cities. hi addition, any needed upgrades to
3
i
any portion of this taxiway necessary to accommodate larger aircraft to be
located within the Airpark shall be completed by the Developer at its sole
expense and without reimbursement from the Cities. This portion of the
taxiway constructed by the Developer shall be dedicated to the Cities after
construction is completed and the Developer shall provide to the Cities a two
(2) year warranty bond or letter of credit for this improvement. In addition, as
provided in Paragraph 3.6 of the IGA, the Districts shall be responsible and
liable to the Cities for any and all maintenance costs incurred by the Cities for
that portion of the taxiway improvements to be built by the Developer under
this Paragraph 2.2. Maintenance costs shall mean all costs incurred by the
Cities for snow removal, sweeping, repair, lighting, electricity, resurfacing,
and all other expenses necessary to maintain that portion of the taxiway
improvements built by the Developer under this Paragraph 2.2.
3. Limitations on Access.
3.1. Access between the Airport and the Airpark granted pursuant to this
Agreement, shall be solely for aircraft access, airport service vehicles, emergency vehicles, FBO
service vehicles, and vehicles performing maintenance/safety inspections of the taxilane/taxilane
clearance areas, through the Points of Ingress/Egress designated by Cities for such purpose, the
approximate locations of which are depicted in EXHIBIT "D ', which location must first be
approved by the FAA as acknowledged and agreed to in Paragraph 1.2 above, and which shall
consist of a minimum one hundred twenty foot(120) wide portion of the boundary of the
Airport. This Agreement does not grant entry onto the Airport from any other point of access, or
by any method or means of travel other than as set forth in this Paragraph 3.1.
3.2. This Agreement shall not be deemed to grant or authorize the storage of
aircraft or any personal property, aviation or non-aviation related, upon the Airport.
3.3. Any person accessing or using the Airport pursuant to this Agreement shall
comply, at all times, with all applicable requirements of all statutes, acts, ordinances, regulations,
codes, and standards of legally constituted authorities with jurisdiction, including, without
limitation and, as applicable, the Loveland City Code, the Airport Rules and Regulations,the
Airport Minimum Standards, the Cities' Federal grant assurances, and any other document that
applies to the Cities' on-Airport tenants.
3.4. Access through the Point of Ingress/Egress shall be subject to those controls
and restrictions that, from time to time,maybe established by the Cities' Airport Manager or
designee when it is determined to be in the best interest of the Cities to do so, or when such
controls and restrictions have been requested by the FAA or Transportation Security
Administration ("TSA") or any other federal, state, or local agency. Restrictions may include,
the denial, from time to time, of ingress or egress by any person or persons where the Airport
Manager determines, in good faith, that conditions at the Airport or Airpark are such that ingress
or egress poses an immediate threat to the safe and efficient operation of the Airport, creates an
aviation safety hazard on either the Airport or the Airpark, or otherwise makes aircraft operations
on either the Airport or the Airpark unsafe. Except in the event of an emergency where a cure
period is not practical, the Developer shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time to remedy the
cause of such conditions or restrictions.

dictates, or in the event of noncompliance with the Airport Security Plan or Airport Rules and
Regulations. Prior to execution of any IGA with a District the Developer shall submit and obtain

Minimum Standards is in conflict with a provision of this Agreement, the provisions of the Minimum
Standards shall control over the conflicting provision in this Agreement as applied to commercial
aeronautical uses on the Adjacent Property unless this Agreement expressly provides that the
provision of this Agreement shall control over the conflicting provision of the Minimum Standards.
19. Compliance with Grant Assurances. In the event that the FAA notifies the Cities verbally
or in writing of an alleged violation of its grant assurances to the FAA as a result of this Agreement,
or as a result of the action or inaction of any off-airport uses, the Developer shall fully cooperate with
the Cities to immediately rectify such violation. In the event that the FAA notifies the Cities formally
15
_ f _
of such a violation, such as but not limited to notification by a Director's Determination, the Cities
may, in their sole discretion, and without being required to appeal any such FAA determination,
terminate this Agreement and any access to the Airport granted pursuant to this Agreement.

to such termination, to allow the Developer that period of time to cure to the satisfaction of the Cities
the circumstances causing the grant assurance violation.

waiver of the Cities' police power to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Accordingly,
notwithstanding any conflicting provision herein, the Cities may terminate this Agreement and any
access to the Airport granted pursuant to this Agreement as needed to protect the public health, safety
and welfare or as required by a federal, state or local agency, providing in the case of termination, the
Developer is given the rights to cure set forth in Paragraph 19 of this Agreement. Temporary
termination of access may occur without an opportunity to cure in emergency situations as
determined by the Airport Manager. If the Airport Manager temporarily terminates access due to an
emergency situation, the Airport Manager shall provide the Developer with a written explanation of
the reasons for the closure and an estimated opening date.

AIRPORT ACCESS
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into this day of , 2007, by and between
, a Colorado Metropolitan District, hereinafter called "District", and the Cities of
Fort Collins and Loveland, Colorado, home rule municipalities,jointly hereinafter called
"Cities".
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, Cities operate a municipal airport within their jurisdiction in Larimer
County, Colorado, known as the Fort Collins/Loveland Municipal Airport (the "Airport"), which
is legally described in EXHIBIT "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and
further described in the Intergovernmental Agreement between the Cities of Fort Collins and
Loveland, Colorado dated May 16, 2000.
WHEREAS, certain real property which is immediately adjacent to the Airport (the
"Adjacent Property") is being developed into an airpark which will be comprised of all the
platted lots within the Adjacent Property that border and have, or are capable of having, aircraft
access to the Airport from said individual lots ("the Airpark"). The Adjacent Property is more
particularly identified in the legal description and map depiction attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference as EXHIBIT "B". NOTE THAT EXHIBIT B WILL SEPARATELY
IDENTIFY THE NORTH PARCEL AND THE SOUTHEAST PARCEL.
WHEREAS, Cities and Rocky Mountain Airport Investments, LLC, a limited liability
company("Developer") entered into a certain "Cities of Loveland and Fort Collins Airport
Access Agreement" dated ("Access Agreement"), under which the Cities agreed to
enter into this Intergovernmental Agreement with one or more Metro Districts, to be established
by Developer, allowing the Developer and his successors and assigns, the owners of individual
lots in the Airpark ("Lot Owners"), and the Lot Owners' tenants, subtenants, guests and invitees
within the Airpark, to access the Airport from the Airpark and to access the Airpark from the
Airport, subject to the provisions of the Access Agreement and the Airpark Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of Record ("CC&R's"), if all of the following conditions
are met:
1. The Airpark is under actual construction.

and the Airport to that certain point along the perimeter of the Airport, which Cities and
Developer have determined to be the appropriate location for access between the Airport and the
Airpark (the "Point of Ingress/Egress"), is completed and deemed acceptable by the Cities. The
taxilanes must meet such additional requirements as may be stated under Paragraph 2 of the
Access Agreement. Acceptance by Cities as used herein means approval by the City Managers
of the Cities or designees, and is in addition to any development approvals otherwise required by
1
I
the Cities' Codes. All construction and improvement of the taxilanes must comply with any
applicable local, state or federal laws or regulations.
3. The District(s) are established in good standing and capable of imposing a 5.0
mill levy on the Adjacent Property as well as any required adjustments to the mill levy, and
providing the same to the City as consideration for the above-referenced right of access between
the Airport and Airpark. The District(s) shall also be required to have full voter authorization
under Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution ("TABOR") to increase the mill levy on
the adjacent property, without the requirement of any future election, in order to provide any
increases in revenue to the Cities as necessary to maintain compliance with the Cities' grant
assurances to the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") and to enter into this
Intergovernmental Agreement as a fully enforceable multi-fiscal year financial obligation under
TABOR.
4. Developer grants to Cities a valid easement on the Airpark taxilane for the
purposes described in Paragraph 3 of the Access Agreement.

Paragraph 4 of the Access Agreement, are recorded and in effect against the Airpark.
6. The construction of the Airport Taxiway is completed and deemed acceptable
by the Cities as described in Subparagraph 2.2 of the Access Agreement.
WHEREAS, in consideration for the access to the Airport from the Airpark, the District
shall, subject to annual adjustment, pay a fee annually to the Cities in an amount equal to 5.0
mills based on the assessed value of all real property and improvements within the Adjacent
Property (the "Fee"). The parties hereto acknowledge that the Fee is intended to provide the
Airport with a source of revenue which is equal to, or greater than, the revenue that would
otherwise be provided if the Airpark were developed upon Airport property and to ensure that the
Lot Owners pay fees and charges to the Cities that are at parity with those paid to the Cities by
their on-Airport tenants.
WHEREAS, District is a Metropolitan District organized and in good standing under the
laws of the state of Colorado and has authority to enforce the Airpark CC&R's, which are
recorded with the Larimer County Recorder at
WHEREAS, Cities and District acknowledge that all other conditions stated above have
been met.
WHEREAS, to further the development of the Adjacent Property, and the Airpark
located therein, as a business park, it is in the best interest of Cities to enter into this
Intergovernmental Agreement under the terms and conditions set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
2
I
NOW,THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
promises contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
1.1. Except as provided in Subparagraph 1.2 below or as expressly defined
elsewhere in this Intergovernmental Agreement, the terms, phrases, words and their derivatives
used in this Intergovernmental Agreement shall have the meanings given in the Fort
Collins/Loveland Municipal Airport Rules and Regulations as adopted by the Fort Collins and
Loveland City Councils and any subsequent amendments thereto (the "Airport Rules and
Regulations").
1.2. The terns "based" and "based location" have the same meaning as
indicated in the definitions section of the Airport Rules and Regulations, except that any
reference to "airport" or "the Airport" contained in such definitions will also mean the Airpark
and aircraft that, by definition, is based at the Airpark shall be deemed to be based at the Fort
Collins/Loveland Municipal Airport while this Intergovernmental Agreement is in effect. The
terms "Airport Manager", "City Manager" and "City Clerk", as used herein, denote those certain
officials of the Cities and any designee of each such official.
1.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a conflict between this
Intergovernmental Agreement and the Airport Rules and Regulations, and other documents that
apply to on-airport tenants, then, for grant assurance purposes, the Airport Rules and
Regulations, and other documents that apply to on-airport tenants shall control and govern.
2. Grant of Access.
2.1. Cities and the District agree that the District, the Developer and his
successors and assigns, the Lot Owners, and the Lot Owners' tenants, subtenants, guests and
invitees within the Airpark, shall have aircraft access to the Airport from the Airpark through the
designated Point of Ingress/Egress (defined in Paragraph 3.1 of the Access Agreement) as
provided in and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Access Agreement, and the
Airpark CC&R's against the property that makes up the Airpark.
3. Compensation.
3.1. The Cities shall be compensated jointly by the District's payment of the Fee
to the City of Loveland or to such other entity as may be designated by the Cities. Such funds
shall be deposited into the Airport Fund and shall be used solely for Airport purposes. The mill
levy shall be collected through the Larimer County Treasurer's office, which office shall forward
payment to the District. The District shall then make payment of the Fee to the City of Loveland
within 10 business days of receipt of any such payment from the Larimer County Treasurer's
office.
3.2. The amount of the Fee may be adjusted at the written request of either the
Cities or the District after each calendar year of the term of this Intergovernmental Agreement
3
I
providing the party requesting the adjustment makes the request in writing within 120 days after
the end of such calendar year. The Fee amount may also be adjusted at any time by the Cities
upon written notice from the FAA stating that such adjustment is necessary to ensure continued
grant assurances compliance. The adjusted Fee shall be based upon an evaluation of the amount
of developed square footage of land within the Adjacent Property. Specifically, the square
footage of land within the Adjacent Property shall be assigned a revenue amount that is equal to
the ground lease rate the development would pay to the Cities if the development had been
located on Airport property. The Cities' then existing rental rate, including any adjustments for
inflation, for unimproved land shall be used for this calculation. If this revenue amount is lower
than the revenue that would otherwise be provided to the Cities if located on Airport property,
the Fee amount shall be increased accordingly. In this event, the District shall be responsible for
providing the additional Fee revenue source to the Cities without regard to approval of an
increase in the mill levy assessed on the Adjacent Property. If the revenue amount is higher than
the revenue that would otherwise be provided to the Cities if located on Airport property, the Fee
amount shall be decreased accordingly. The adjustment is intended to ensure that the Fee amount
provides the Airport with a source of revenue which is not less than the revenue that would
otherwise be provided if the Airpark were developed upon Airport property and to ensure that the
Lot Owners pay fees and charges to the Cities that are at parity with the fees and charges paid to
the Cities by their on-Airport tenants. In calculating this comparison revenue, the Cities`
"unimproved land" shall be deemed to be those lease properties for which the Cities did not build
and provide site infrastructure to serve the leased land, such as utilities, taxiways and streets, but
rather such infrastructure was constructed by the Cities' lessee.
3.3. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 3.2 above, if for any reason in
any one year the amount of the Fee to be paid under Paragraph 3.1 above is less than the fees and
charges required to be paid to the Cities by the Cities' on-Airport tenants having similar uses to
the Lot Owners, the District shall pay to the Cities an amount representing the difference between
the amount of the Fee actually paid under Section 3.1 and the greater amount paid by the Cities'
said on-Airport tenants. Such amount shall be paid by the District to the Cities within sixty (60)
days after the District receives an invoice from the Cities for such additional amount.
3.4. In the event the Cities terminate access in accordance with the Access
Agreement for more than two consecutive months the District shall not be liable for the Fee, as
adjusted, for the period of closure extending beyond such two month period until the access is
reopened, so long as such termination of access is not the fault of the Developer, the District or
the Lot Owners.
3.5. The District shall be responsible and liable to the City for any and all
maintenance costs incurred by the Cities for the portion of the taxiway improvement to be built
by the Developer under Paragraph 2.2 of the Access Agreement including the barrier fence and
control gates. Maintenance costs shall mean all costs incurred by the Cities for snow removal,
sweeping, repair, lighting, electricity, resurfacing, replacement and all other expenses necessary
to maintain that portion of the taxiway improvements and the fence and gates built by the
Developers under Paragraph 2.2 of the Access Agreement. The District shall so reimburse the
Cities within thirty(30) days of receiving an invoice from the Cities for the costs to be
reimbursed. The reimbursement of these costs shall be in addition to the Fee and other amounts
to be paid to the Cities pursuant to paragraph 3. of this Agreement.
4
1
3.6. In the event of the District's nonpayment of any of the amounts due to the Cities
under this paragraph 3.,the Cities may cancel the Access Agreement sixty(60)days after the Cities
give written notice to the District of such nonpayment, if within such sixty (60) day period the
nonpayment has not been cured by the District.
4. Duration of Intergovernmental Affeement. The duration of the rights, privileges and
authorizations granted in this Intergovernmental Agreement shall be for the fifty (50) year or the
eighty(80) year term of the Access Agreement as provided in paragraph 11.1 of the Access
Agreement, but subject to earlier termination by either party pursuant to the provisions of this
Intergovernmental Agreement and the Access Agreement.
5. Non-Exclusive Rights. This Intergovernmental Agreement is non-exclusive and
nothing herein shall prevent the Cities from accessing or using the Airport or shall prohibit the
Cities from permitting other persons to access or use the Airport. Nothing herein shall be
construed to bar the Cities from further alteration, development, expansion or improvement of
the Airport, and the Cities expressly reserve the right to do so.
6. No Assignment. The District shall not sell, assign or otherwise transfer, by operation
of law or otherwise, or make any attempt to sell, assign or otherwise transfer, by operation of law
or otherwise, this Intergovernmental Agreement, or any rights, privileges or authorizations
granted under this Intergovernmental Agreement. Any purported sale, assignment or other
transfer of this Intergovernmental Agreement, or any rights, privileges or authorizations granted
under this Intergovernmental Agreement, shall be deemed void.
7. Airpark Taxilane Signage. District shall place or post signs on the Airpark property to
prohibit use of the Airpark taxilane or access to the Airport from the Airpark by unauthorized
persons. Signs shall be placed so as not to interfere with or be an obstruction to taxiing aircraft.
Cities may require the District to add, remove or replace signage, where the Airport Manager or
designee determines existing signage to be inadequate, improper or a safety hazard. The District
shall be responsible for the maintenance of such signs.
8. Airpark Conditions.
8.1. No motor vehicle of any kind, except aircraft, airport service vehicles,
emergency vehicles, Airport approved FBO service vehicles, airplane tugs, vehicles for towing
aircraft, and vehicles performing maintenance/safety inspections of the taxilane/taxilane
clearance areas, shall be used on the Airpark taxilane, except in areas specifically designated for
motor vehicle use.
8.2. No motor vehicle of any kind or for any reason shall be parked upon, or
impede aircraft movement on, the Airpark taxilane or any taxilane safety area except in the
course of maintenance/safety inspections or maintenance of the taxilane/taxilane clearance area.
8.3. No person on the grounds of race, color, or national origin shall be excluded
from participation in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise subjected to discrimination in the use
of the Airpark taxilane; and the Lot Owners, their tenants, subtenants, guests and invitees, shall
5
use the taxilane subject to the Airpark CC&R's and in compliance with all other requirements
imposed by or pursuant to Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Department of Transportation,
Subtitle A, Office of the Secretary, Park 21, Nondiscrimination in Federally-assisted programs of

components; final assembly of aircraft parts and components into completed aircraft; flight
testing associated with assembled aircraft; painting of manufactured aircraft and parts; and air
freight services such as those provided by United Parcel Service and Federal Express.
10. Airport Security Plan Compliance. District agrees that any access granted to the
Airport from any portion of the Adjacent Property shall be contingent upon full compliance with
any Transportation Security Administration ("TSA") and FAA rules, regulations or dictates on
Airport security, and upon compliance with the Airport Security Plan, as they currently exist, or
as they may be amended in the future. Accordingly, notwithstanding any conflicting provision
herein, Airport access from the Adjacent Property shall be terminated by the Cities in the event
of such noncompliance with TSA and FAA rules, regulations or dictates, or in the event of
noncompliance with the Airport Security Plan or Airport Rules and Regulations. Prior to
execution of this Intergovernmental Agreement the District shall submit and obtain approval by
the Cities, TSA and FAA a detailed Airpark Security Plan describing procedures, equipment and
methodology to ensure operational compliance with the Airport's Security Plan and TSA
regulations. The Airpark Security Plan shall provide that it will be modified as necessary in the
future to maintain full compliance with any new or amended TSA regulations. The cost of
compliance with this Paragraph 10., including any required construction, maintenance, repairs
and modifications, shall be the joint and severable obligation of the Developer, as provided in
Paragraph 17. of the Access Agreement, and of the District. Unless specifically required by law
6
1
and notwithstanding the foregoing, such compliance shall not be more restrictive than required
elsewhere in the Airport under similar conditions and circumstances.

or omissions of any person, whether or not a person authorized under this Intergovernmental
Agreement, who enters the Airpark through the Point of Ingress/Egress; or for any conditions
occurring on the Airpark or the Adjacent Property resulting from the operations or activities of
any such person; or for any loss or damage to any personal property or equipment of the District,
or any property owner or any tenant, subtenant, guest, invitee or other person with legal
possession of any lot within the Airpark or the Adjacent Property, caused by or resulting from
operations or activities of any person entering the Airpark through the Point of Ingress/Egress.
11.2. To the extent allowed bylaw the District, its successors and assigns, shall
be liable to Cities for their respective acts or omissions arising under this Intergovernmental
Agreement as a result of entering on to the Airport through the Point of Ingress/Egress; or for any
conditions occurring on the Airport resulting from their respective operations or activities; or for
any loss or damage to any personal property or equipment of the Cities caused by or resulting
from their operations or activities related to entering the Airport through the Point of

Agreement and any access to the Airport granted pursuant to this Agreement as needed to protect
the public health, safety and welfare or as required by a federal, state or local agency, providing
in the case of termination, the District is given the rights to cure set forth in Paragraph 17 of this

opening date.

Developer's financial obligations under the Access Agreement to the Cities, the District shall be
considered a successor in interest to the Developer and the District shall be jointly and severally
liable to the Cities for such obligations if for any reason the Developer cannot meet or satisfy its

Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport
Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities ii
ARTICLE ONE: POLICY AND GENERAL STANDARDS
1.1 Purpose. The purposes of these minimum standards are to:
1.1.1 Encourage the provision of high quality products, services, and facilities to
Airport users;
1.1.2 Encourage the development of quality improvements at the Airport;
1.1.3 Promote health, safety, and welfare;
1.1.4 Promote the economic health of Airport businesses;
1.1.5 Promote the orderly development of Airport property; and
1.1.6 Promote the economic self-sufficiency of the Airport.
These minimum standards specify the standards and requirements that must be met by any entity
desiring to engage in one or more commercial aeronautical services or activities at the Airport.
1.2 Introduction. The Cities of Fort Collins, Colorado and Loveland, Colorado, acting
through their respective City Councils(the"Cities")own and operate the Fort Collins-Loveland
Municipal Airport (the"Airport"). To encourage growth and development of the Airport by
ensuring adequate aeronautical services and facilities for Airport users, the Cities have
established these standards and requirements(the "Minimum Standards') for provision of certain
commercial aeronautical services at the Airport.
The following articles set forth Minimum Standards for an"Operator," which is defined as any
person or persons, partnership, company,trust corporation, or other entity based on the Airport
and providing one or more commercial aeronautical services at the Airport. The Minimutn
Standards shall be applied to adjacent properties that access the Airport through a valid Access
Agreement; such requirements would be defined in the Access Agreement. The Minimum
Standards do not apply to the Cities themselves. These Minimum Standards are not intended to
be all-inclusive, as the Operator of a commercial venture based on the Airport will also be subject
to applicable federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and/or regulations, including Airport
Rules and Regulations pertaining to all such services,and to the terms of its Lease, or License to
do business at the Airport,as discussed below.
Permission from the Cities is a prerequisite to providing any commercial aeronautical service on
the Airport Permission shall be in the form of a Commercial Use License(`License")and if
Operator is also a tenant of the Cities, shall be required in addition to any written Lease
establishing a tenancy on the Airport.
The provisions of the License must be compatible with the Minimum Standards in effect at the
time of issuance or as later amended and will not change or modify the Minimum Standards
themselves. These Minimum Standards are deemed to be included as part of all Licenses. If the
specific commercial service provided is not contemplated or covered by these Minimum
Standards, the person should approach the Cities to negotiate the terms of the required License.
The Cities' obligation to make the Airport available for the use and benefit of the public does not
extend to providing access from adjacent property_ However, if the Cities determine that such
Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport
Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities 1
I
off-airport access to the Airport is of benefit to the general public and can be done in a manner
that is consistent with Federal, State, local laws, and FAA requirements then an Access
Agreement may be permitted as provided for herein in Article Five-Off-Airport Access.
Licenses and Leases containing authority to conduct commercial aeronautical activities which are
in effect on the date of adoption of these Minimum Standards, will remain in effect for their
prescribed terms, but shall not be grandfathered in and, therefore, shall be subject to these
Minimum Standards. However, holders of existing licenses and the lessees of existing leases shall
be given one year from the date these Minimum Standards go into effect in which to come into
full compliance with these Minimum Standards. Nevertheless, no existing licensee, lessee or
Operator shall engage in new or expanded activities after the adoption of these Minimum
Standards, without meeting all the requirements appropriate for the activities contemplated.
These Minimum Standards may be amended by the Cities at their discretion from time to time as
determined to be necessary by the Cities. Before these Minimum Standards are amended a public
process, including review and approval by the City Councils or as set forth in the Airport
Intergovernmental Agreement between the Cities will be completed; the airport will make a
reasonable attempt to give all licensed Operators at the Airport written notice of the proposed
amendments.
1.3 Statement of Policy- The Cities' goal in establishing these Minimum Standards is to
assure an adequate minimum level of service to aviation users, to foster competition at the
Airport, put all FBOs and SASOs on an equal footing in qualifying and competing for available
Airport facilities and the furnishing of selected commercial aeronautical activities, and avoid
unjust or prohibited discrimination between FBOs and SASOs.
Where the words "standards"or"requirements" appear, it shall be understood that they are
modified by the word "minimum." All Operators will be encouraged to exceed the
"minimum." No Operator will be allowed to operate under conditions that do not meet the
"minimum."
Contingent upon its qualification, its meeting these Minimum Standards, the execution of a
License by the Cities, and the payment of rentals, fees and privilege for providing the service(s)
selected on the Airport as specified in the License, the Operator may engage in approved
commercial aeronautical activity. The granting of such right and privilege, however, shall not be
construed in any manner as affording the Operator any exclusive right of perform such activities
or services on the Airport. The Cities reserve and retain the right to adopt and enforce any and all
resolutions, ordinances, rules, codes, minimum standards and other regulatory measures
pertaining to any Commercial Aeronautic Activity at the Airport. The Cities further reserve the
right to designate the specific Airport areas, in accordance with the existing Airport Layout Plan
("ALP"), in which specific aeronautical services may be conducted. Such designation shall give
consideration to the nature and extent of the operation and the land and improvements available
for such purpose, consistent with the orderly and safe operation of the Airport.
1.4 Prequalification Requirements. At the time of its application, the prospective Operator
shall provide the Airport Manager, in writing, the following information, and thereafter, shall
provide such additional information as may be requested by the Cities.
1.4.1 License Application. The prospective Operator must submit a completed
Commercial Aeronautical Use License Application(Attachment 3) that provides summary
information regarding the applicant and the scope of the proposed operation.
Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport
Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities 2
1.4.2 Intended Scope of Services. The prospective Operator must submit a detailed
description of the scope of the intended operation, and the means and methods to be employed to
accomplish the contemplated operation, in order to provide high-quality service. All services
contemplated must meet the requirements of these Minimum Standards. That information must
include, at a minimum, all of the following:
1.4.2.1 The name, address and telephone number of the applicant. If the
applicant is a corporation, provide the name, address, and telephone number of the
corporation's officers and directors, and owners of more than 15%of its corporate stock
with the number of total shares and the number of shares owned. If the applicant is a
partnership, provide the name, address, and telephone number of all partners.
1.4.2.2 The requested or proposed date for commencement of the service and the
term of conducting the same.
1.4.2.3 The services to be offered.
1.4.2.4 The amount, size and location of any land to be leased, which must be in
compliance with the Airport's current FAA-approved ALP.
1.4.2.5 The number and type(s) of aircraft to be provided/maintained(as
applicable).
1.4.2.6 The number of persons to be employed (including the names and
qualifications of each manager or supervisor or other key personnel).
1.4.2.7 The hours of proposed operation.
1.4.2.8 The types and amounts of insurance coverage to be maintained, which
must meet or exceed the types and amounts as established by Attachment 2 to these
Minimum Standards, as it now exists or as it may be amended hereafter.
1.5 Financial and Managerial Responsibility and Capability. The prospective Operator
roust provide a statement, satisfactory to the Cities, in evidence of its financial responsibility,
from a bank or trust company or from such other source that may be acceptable to the Cities and
readily verified through normal banking channels. The prospective Operator must also
demonstrate financial capability to initiate operations, to construct proposed improvements, if
any, and to provide working capital to carry on the contemplated operations. The demonstration
of financial and managerial capability shall include a cash flow and a profit and loss projection
for the first five years of the proposed operation. In order to avoid the potential anti-competitive
effects of financial control of potential competitors, prospective Operators shall also disclose their
sources and terms of financing.
Any information furnished under this section which is prominently marked on each page as
',confidential" by the applicant, shall be considered proprietary and shall be kept confidential by
the Cities to the extent permitted under the provisions of C-R.S. §24-72-201, et seq., the Colorado
Public Records Act.
1.6 Experience of Operator and Key Employees. The prospective Operator shall furnish
the Cities with a statement of past experience of the Operator and its managers, supervisors and
Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport
Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities 3
other key employees in providing the proposed aviation services,together with a statement that
the Operator or its principals have the managerial ability to perform the selected services.
1.7 Requirements Applicable to all FBOs, RSFOs and SASOs. The following standards
apply to all FBOs, RSFOs and SASOs. Additional standards specific to each type of operation
can be found in Articles Two, Three and Four of these Minimum Standards. For purposes of
these Minimum Standards, "leased premises" may include, as appropriate,any area leased,
subleased or otherwise controlled by an FBO, RSFO or SASO and must be on the Airport.
1.7.1 Requirement of a Lease or License.
1.7.1.1 Before beginning operations, the prospective Operator must enter into a
License or Lease with the Cities reciting the terms and conditions under which it will do
business on the Airport, including but not limited to, the term of agreement; the rentals,
fees and charges; the rights, privileges and obligations of the respective parties, and other
relevant covenants. Such provisions of the Lease or License, however, will neither
change nor modify the Minimum Standards, nor be construed in a way to make the
License less demanding than these Standards.
1.7.1.2 Such a License shall contain all provisions required by the Federal
Aviation Administration ("FAA")as a condition of any Federal Grant to the Cities for the
Airport. The basic terms and conditions of such License are included in Required
General License Clauses attached to this document as Attachment 1.
1.7.1.3 While the language reflects the currently applicable federal requirements,
Licenses shall include all provisions required by then-current federal law and regulations.
The provisions contained in Attachment 1 are not all inclusive and may be amended
from time to time by the Cities without amending these Minimum Standards.
1.7.2 Site Development Standards - Physical Facilities.
1.7.2.1 The minimum space requirements as provided in Articles Two, 'I hree
and Four of these Minimum Standards shall be satisfied, as applicable.
1.7.2.2 All paving and building shall comply with the then-current City of
Loveland development and construction standards for the Airport and all applicable local
building codes and requirements. The location of facilities on the Airport must comply
with the current, FAA-approved ALP for the Airport.
1.7.2.3 If construction on leased premises, or alteration of existing or future
structures on leased premises is planned, Operator shall comply with the notification and
review requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation Part 77 and other government
entities as may be required. Operator must submit FAA Forms 7460-1 and 7480-1 (if
applicable)to FAA no less than 30 days prior to the commencement of such construction.
1.7.3 Personnel. During all operating hours, and except for after-hours fueling by
RSFO's, the Operator shall employ and have on duty trained personnel in such numbers and with
such certificates and ratings as are required to provide services established by the Minimum
Standards, in an efficient manner for each aeronautical service being performed, and shall provide
a responsible person authorized to act on its behalf to supervise its operations. A list of contacts
Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport
Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities 4
shall be supplied to the Airport Manager including after hours phone numbers. This list shall be
updated when any change occurs.
1.7.4 Financial Surety. The Operator shall post a letter of credit in a form acceptable
to the Cities in the amount equal to at least 10%of the annual rental established and agreed upon.
This letter of credit may be waived by the Cities if Operator can demonstrate adequate financial
means.
1.7.5 Insurance. Insurance shall be provided and paid for by the Operator in the
amounts specified in Minimum Insurance Requirements(Attachment 2), as it may be amended
by the Cities from time to time. Should there be any doubt about the currency of such minimum
insurance requirements, the most current insurance requirements is on file with the Airport
Manager. A certificate of insurance or a copy of the insurance policies involved shall be
furnished to the Airport Manager by the Operator. Ten days advance written notice of any
change to any policy shall be given to the Airport Manager. Coverage may be provided through
primary or excess policies. The insurance company, or companies, writing the requested policy,
or policies, shall be licensed to do business in the State of Colorado.
Where more than one aeronautical service is proposed,the minimum limits will vary(depending
upon the nature of individual services in such combination) but will not necessarily be cumulative
in all instances. For example, if three(3) types of services are to be provided, it will not be
necessary for the Operator to carry insurance policies providing the aggregate or combined total
of the minimum limits for each type of operation. However, if one of the selected services
requires passenger liability coverage or hangar keeper's liability not required in either of the other
two (2)categories, the Operator would be required to provide insurance on the applicable
exposures. As a further example, the minimum limit for property damage on a combination of
services would be the highest minimum limit stated in the grouping chosen. Because of these
variables, the applicable minimum insurance coverage on combinations of services will be
discussed with the prospective Operator at the time of its License application.
All insurance that the Operator is required by the Cities to carry and keep in force shall include
the Cities and all Cities personnel, officers and agents as additional insured. The Operator shall
furnish evidence of its compliance with this requirement to the Airport Manager with proper
certification that such insurance is in force and shall furnish additional certification as evidence of
changes in insurance not less than ten(10)days prior to any such change, if the change results in
a reduction or increase. In the event of cancellation of coverages, the Operator and underwriter
shall give the Cities ten(10)days prior notice of cancellation and all operations of Operator on
the Airport shall cease.
The applicable insurance coverage shalt be in force during the period of any construction of the
Operators facilities, if any, and/or prior to its entry upon the Airport for the conduct of its
business.
The Operator shall also famish evidence of its compliance with Colorado Statutes with respect to
Worker's Compensation and Unemployment Insurance(where applicable). Lapses in insurance
coverage may result in denial of access to the Airport and termination of the License.
1.7.6 Airport Access and Security. Airport access and security shall be maintained by
Operator at all times in accordance with standards established and required by the Airport
Manager, FAA, Transportation Security Administration(TSA) or other governmental entity. The
Operator is also responsible for its employees', invitees', licensees', vendors', and agents'
Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport
Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities 5
compliance with the Airport Security Program, as it may be established and amended from time
to time.
1.7.7 Environmental Compliance. In its operations at the Airport, Operators shall
strictly comply with all applicable environmental laws, the Airport environmental polices and
procedures (including, without limitation, the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
["SWPPP"] and Spill Response Plan), and generally accepted industry environmental best
management practices and standards. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
provision, Operator shall not use or store Hazardous Materials on or at the Airport except as
reasonably necessary in the ordinary course of Operator's permitted activities at the Airport,
and then only if such hazardous Materials are properly labeled and contained. Operator shall
not discharge, release, or dispose of any Hazardous Materials on the Airport or surrounding
air, land, or water.
Operator shall promptly notify the Cities of any Hazardous Material spills, releases, or other
discharges by Operator at the Airport and promptly abate, remediate, and remove same.
Operator shall provide the Cities with copies of all reports, complaints, claims, citations,
demands, inquiries, or notices relating to the environmental condition of the Airport, or any
alleged material noncompliance with Environmental Laws by Operator at the Airport within
ten (10) days after such documents are generated by or received by Operator. If Operator
uses, handles, treats or stores Hazardous Materials at the Airport, Operator shall have a
contract in place with an approved waste transport or disposal company, and shall identify
and retain spill response contractors to assist with spill response and facilitate waste
characterization, transport and disposal. Complete records of all disposal manifests, receipts
and other documentation shall be retained by the Operator and made available to Cities for
review upon request.
The Cities shall have the right at any time to enter the Premises to inspect, take samples for
testing, and otherwise investigate the Premises for the presence of Hazardous Materials.
Such inspections shall be coordinated with the Operator and scheduled during regular
business hours if reasonably practical.
Operator's Hazardous Materials shall be the responsibility of Operator. Operator shall be
liable for and responsible to pay all Environmental Claims that arise out of, or are caused in
whole or in part, from Operator's use, handling, treatment, storage, disposal, discharge, or
transportation of Hazardous Materials on or at the Airport, the violation of any
Environmental Law by Operator, or the failure of Operator to comply with the terms,
conditions and covenants of this section. If the Cities incur any costs or expenses (including
attorney, consultant and expert witness fees) arising from Operator's use, handling, treatment,
storage, discharge, disposal, or transportation of Hazardous Materials on the Airport,
Operator shall promptly reimburse the Cities for such costs upon demand. All reporting
requirements under Environmental Laws with respect to spills, releases, or discharges of
Hazardous Materials by Operator at the Airport are the responsibility of Operator.
1.7.8 Motor Vehicles on Airport. The Operator shall control the on-Airport
transportation of pilots and passengers of transient general aviation aircraft using the Operator's
facilities and services. The Operator performing this service with motor vehicles driven on the
Airport shall do so only in strict accordance with Airport Rules and Regulations,applicable
federal, state and municipal laws, ordinances,codes or other similar regulatory measures now in
existence or as may be hereafter modified or amended. The Operator takes responsibility and
assumes all liability for the actions of any party, supplier, member, agent or individual that the
Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport
Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities 6
Operator allows upon the Airport's aircraft movement areas. The Cities reserve the right to deny
access to any party or business if the party fails to act responsibly while in control of machinery
or motor vehicles operating on the Airport.
1.7.9 Other FAA Requirements In addition to these Minimum Standards, where
applicable Federal certification standards exist for a given commercial aeronautical activity, each
FBO, RSFO and SASO offering such activity shall provide sufficient equipment, supplies and
availability of parts as required for certification by the Federal Aviation Administration.
1.8 Combined Operations and Subleases.
1.8.1 The Cities will consider reduction in minimum square footage for
combined operations.
1.8.2 If an FBO, RSFO or SASO, whether located on or off the Airport,
desires to sublease space to another person to provide one or more Commercial
Aeronautical Activities, the following conditions will apply.
1.8.2.1 The subleasing party must obtain a License from the Cities to
operate at the Airport.
1.8.2.2 The FBO, RSFO or SASO must obtain written approval from the
Cities to sublease the space and function.
1.8.2.3 FBO, RSFO or SASO must carry public liability insurance in
accordance with Section 1.7.5 above, and the Minimum Insurance Requirements

Regulations of the Ft. Collins/Loveland Airport, as they now exist or as they may hereafter be
amended, are hereby incorporated by reference in these Minimum Standards.
1.10 Miscellaneous Aeronautical Activities. Miscellaneous Commercial Aeronautical
Activities not herein provided for may be permitted on the Airport on a case-by-case basis, by
making formal application to the Cities for approval of such activity, and upon a showing that
such activities may be safely conducted at the Airport without undue interference with other
permitted aeronautical activities. Reasonable terms and conditions for the privilege of engaging
in these other services will be commensurate in nature and scope with the activities proposed.
The Cities reserve the right to deny or restrict aeronautical activities at the Airport which may
interfere with or create a safety hazard for other Aircraft operating at or near the Airport.
1.11 Violations. Any Operator that violates any of the provisions in these Minimum
Standards will be notified of the violation and given 60 days in which to correct said violation.
