The city of Palmer, as the owner and operator of the Palmer Municipal Airport, hereby gives notice of the following as a statement of minimum operating procedures for aeronautical services, commercial operations and personal hangars at the airport.
These standards are intended to be the threshold entry requirements for those wishing to provide aeronautical services or other services to the public or have a personal hangar at the airport and to ensure that those who have undertaken to provide aeronautical services or other services are not exposed to unfair or irresponsible competition and aeronautical operations. These minimum standards were developed taking into consideration the aviation role of the airport, the future development of the airport, and the city’s obligations as an airport improvement sponsor under 14 CFR Part 152. The uniform application of these minimum standards relates primarily to the public interest and discourages the offering of substandard services to users of the airport. (Ord. 17-003 § 4, 2017)
