The purpose of this Agreement is:
***Please refer to the Joint Powers Agreement subcategory under Airport Governance for more information regarding earlier versions and all amendments of the Joint Powers Agreement.
2021 FRIEDMAN MEMORIAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
Joint Powers Agreement of 2011
Original Joint Powers Agreement of 1994
AMENDEMENTS TO THE 1994 JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
Seven amendments have been made to the Joint Powers Agreement since 1994, not including the most recent restated and amended Joint Powers Agreement.
Regulation No. 94-1 is a regulation of the Friedman Memorial Airport Authority governing and regulating ground transportation and baggage transport services at Friedman Memorial Airport, Hailey, Idaho. It prohibits the commission of certain acts, provides penalties for the violation of this regulation. This regulation was amended on November 6,2018.
An Amendment to Friedman Memorial Airport Authority Regulation No. 94-1
Each year, during the Friedman Memorial Airport Authority budget process, which takes place from April through September, rates, fees, tolls or charges for the use or availability of the facilities of the Airport shall be established. In order to establish the appropriate amounts for said rates, fees, tolls and charges, the Authority shall first determine the amount of income necessary to make the Airport self-sustaining and shall then determine, as closely as possible, the specific causes of the operating costs. All revenues generated by the Airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel will be expended by the Authority for the capital or operating costs of the airport.
The Friedman Memorial Airport Authority (FMAA) is responsible for the management and administration of the Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN) which includes operation, maintenance, and capital improvement of aviation buildings and facilities.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) places the responsibility with the Airport operator to ensure that adequate aeronautical services and facilities are available on a fair and reasonable basis to all aviation users.
To encourage the safe and orderly development of the Airport and its operation, the FAA recommends that Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activity be developed. Airport Minimum Standards are the criteria established by an airport owner as the minimum requirements that must be met by businesses in order to engage in providing commercial aeronautical activity at SUN.
The prior “Amended Minimum Standards for the Conduct of Commercial Aeronautical Services” for the Airport was last amended in 1997 and were no longer sufficient to address the evolving airport and regulatory environment. This project resulted in new Airport Minimum Standards for SUN.
Friedman Memorial Airport hereby announces its proposed Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal of 1.6% for FAA-funded contracts/agreements. The proposed goal pertains to federal fiscal years 2022 through 2024 (10/1/2021 – 9/30/2024). A teleconference was held on August 25, 2021 at 11:00 am for the purpose of consulting with stakeholders to obtain information relevant to the goal-setting process.
