BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: September 16, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Sunil Harman
SUBJECT: PFC Resolution and Assurances
DEPARTMENT: Airport
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners is requested to adopt a
Passenger Facility Charge Resolution required by the FAA for the approval of projects eligible
for the use of these funds; and to assure, by certification, that it will comply with all provisions
of Title 14 CFR Part 158 (Passenger Facility Charges).
BACKGROUND: The attached resolution and assurances will be made part of an application
for the approval to Impose and Use (I&U) PFCs for 19 projects at Okaloosa County's Airports.
The Resolution authorizes the Airports Director to file the application and to carry out the
administration of the PFC program. Attachment "A" lists the projects.
PFCs are presently collected at the maximum rate of $4.50 per enplaned passenger. The
collection period for the projects would begin on October 1, 2021, upon expiration of the current
authorization, and end on January 1, 2030. Funds for these projects are available from PFCs
already collected; hence the future collection period will provide funds for currently approved
purposes such as repayment of bonds coming due in the future.
PFCs are collected by the air carriers and submitted monthly directly to the airport. They are
considered airport funds, but are subject to project approval and monitoring by FAA. Five of the
19 projects have already been completed, and approval is being sought to reimburse the County
for the local matching funds expended by the Airport during construction. Total authority being
sought is $14,628,493.00 which includes bond interest.
Operating airlines have been consulted on the projects, as required, and their comments have
been forwarded to the FAA. Attachment "B" is the required Certification of Assurances. Also
attached for information is a description of each project and the Capital Plan summarizing the
total funding by source for each project. Public comments were solicited for the required 30
days via both the Airport and County Web Sites. No public comments were received.
OPTIONS: Approve, Disapprove or Table
RECOMMENDATIONS: The Department of Airports staff recommends that the Board
authorize the Chairman to sign the Resolution and the Assurances.
