(Formerly "Minima,Standards,Aeronautical
Activities at Municipal ADport")
BACKGROUND
The City of Redding, as owner of federally obligated airports, Benton Airpark and Redding Municipal Airport,
is responsible for instituting airport Operating Rules and Regulations for the safe operation of both airports.
The Minimum Standards for Aeronautical Activities were established for Redding Municipal Airport in 1990.
The Minimum Standards for Redding Municipal Airport have been updated and expanded to include Benton
Airpark.
PURPOSE
• The purpose of the Operating Rules and Regulations is to protect the public health, safety; interest,and general
welfare of the operators, lessees, consumers, and users of the City of Redding Airports; to provide expectations
for conduct of those individuals who access either airport; and to restrict or prevent any activity which would
interfere with the safe, orderly, and efficient use of the City of Redding's Airports.
The Minimum Standards for Aeronautical Service Providers will assist staff with the development of
aeronautical activities on Redding Municipal Airport and Benton Airpark. The Federal Aviation Administration '
requires that the standards be reasonable, relevant to the proposed activity, and applied objectively and
uniformly.
POLICY
As a means to accomplish the purpose and objectives of this Policy, the City incorporates by reference into this
Policy the Airport Operating Rules and Regulations and Minimum Standards for Aeronautical Activities as
approved by City Council Resolution No. 2009-26. This document replaces Policy No. 302, dated August 21,
1990, in its entirety. A copy of the document is on file in the Office of the City Clerk. The Airport Operating '

• Service Providers
Section 1 - General
1.10 Purpose
The requirements of minimum standards should relate primarily to the public
interest. Further, the use of reasonable and proper standards, while safeguarding
the public interest, has the additional effect of preserving the stability of
established businesses, i.e., proper standards discourage the unqualified, and
are for the protection of both the established operators and the public.
1.15 Background
These standards set forth the following:
a. The minimum level of service to be performed; qualifications of personnel;
hours of operation, leasehold size, facility configuration, equipment,
inventory, etc.
b. General policies such as compliance with laws, rules, regulations, insurance
requirements, safety requirements, etc.
• c. General privileges and rights such as activities per agreement, non-
discrimination, operational covenants, ground space leasing requirements,
etc.
d. Provide Airport staff with a framework from which to far better manage new
applications or requests to perform such activities on the airport.
e. Enable the City of Redding to fulfill its responsibility to conform with FAA
recommendations and guidelines relating to aeronautical activities. The City
may require operators to meet any reasonable standard or qualification as to
competence, financial stability, equipment, facility development, etc. This is
done not only without violating our Federal Grant Assurances, but
strengthens our conformance to them.
f. The City of Redding has a responsibility to ensure that an operating
environment beneficial and conducive to businesses and the public using
Redding Municipal Airport and Benton Airpark will continue to exist, and to
ensure that the public investment in the City's airports is protected and used
to its best advantage. Further, the City is obligated by the terms of existing
grant agreements with the Federal Aviation Administration to provide space
for aeronautical activity operators to the extent that space is available on
Redding Municipal Airport and/or Benton Airpark for this purpose. The City
has the responsibility to conform with FAA recommendations and guidelines
• relating to minimum standards for aeronautical activities and may require an
operator or potential operator to meet any reasonable standard or qualifi-
31
City of Redding Airports
cation as to competence, financial stability, equipment, facility development,
• etc., without violating the provisions of the grant agreements.
g. A fair and reasonable opportunity, without unjust discrimination, shall be
accorded to all entities and individuals to qualify, or otherwise compete, for
available airport facilities and to establish and conduct specific aeronautical
activities subject to the adopted Minimum Standards as may be established
by the City. In all cases where the words "standards" or "requirements"
appear in this document, it shall be understood that they are modified by the
word "minimum". All operators will be encouraged to exceed the "minimum"
standards or requirements; none will be allowed to operate under conditions
below the minimum standards unless specifically authorized by the City in
writing.
h. The minimum standards identified herein supplement the Council Policy
Manual and Airport Development Policies as may be established and
amended by the City from time to time.
