Ukiah Regional Airport Economic Report General aviation airports provide economic benefits to a community. A typical general aviation airport with 100 based aircraft and no commercial service (airlines), saves time and reduces the travel costs of those who use that airport over the next best transportation alternative. In dollar terms that transportation benefit alone is estimated by the F.A.A. to be more than $1 million annually.3 Public-use airports allow the business community in the region and the state to participate in local, national, and intemational markets. Public and private funds invested in the airports annually produce economic returns which far exceed the amounts spent to operate and maintain those facilities.~ In addition, each dollar spent on construction at an airport generates an additional $2 in economic activity.~ For every airport job, 2 to 3 new jobs are created in a visitor-related economy. In addition, airport facilities attract new business and industry to the area as well as increasing tourism. Many companies make a modern, all weather airport a priority requirement when seeking a site to locate their business,s Airports help to provide economic stability and growth, and add to the tax base that pays for schools, roads, hospitals, etc. In California alone, general aviation airports contribute over $5.5 billion dollars annually to the states economy, and employ almost 60,000 people 2, 4 The following pages give a quick estimate of the economic impact that the Ukiah Regional Airport contributes to the community, and shows that airports are not just for pilots, but benefit everyone. Even people who don't fly. · o · Ukiah Regional Airport Economic Report BASIS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT The economic impact of an airport is a measure of the benefits it provides TO THE COMMUNITY. These benefits include the jobs, wages, and expenditures that take place at the airport. They also include the effects of these expenditures in moving from hand to hand through the community, enhancing economic activity far from the airport itself? Economic benefits also include expenditures made by those transient passengers who use the airport but spend their money at other locations. Savings in time and money that the existence of the airport permits, represent another economic benefit that resides within the community. DEFINITION OF ECONOMIC IMPACTS Economic impact as a whole comprises direct, indirect, and induced impacts. definition of each impact. 2,6 Below is a Direct Impact Direct impact is associated with providers of services at the airport. These providers include the airport operator (City of Ukiah), fixed-based operators, fire suppression (C.D.F.), freight haulers, etc. The value of direct impact is the sum of all payroll, capital expenditures, operating and maintenance cost, taxes and fees incurred by every provider of services. Indirect Impact Indirect impact is associated with the users of airport services. These include both corporate and public users, government agencies, and aviation and non-aviation businesses. The value of this impact is the sum of the fees and charges paid, time and cost savings, and expense related to food lodging, ground transportation and similar outlays. Induced Impact Induced impact is often called the "multiplier effect". It gets this name because a dollar once spent, does not disappear but continues to move through the local economy until it is eventually exported from the community. Synopsis Direct impact can be determined by using the number of aircraft operations annually recorded at the Ukiah Airport, and a formula included in the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Guide. Ukiah Regional Airport Economic Impacts Direct Economic Impact = total of wages, fees, charges, taxes, operations and maintenance, cost and capital improvements of all airport firms and employers. Indirect Economic Impact = number of transient annual operations divided by 2 to determine annual transient arrivals.3 Then multiply that number by the average number of occupants aboard each general aviation flight (F.A.A. estimates), which is 2.5. Then multiply that figure by the average dollars spent in the local economy by transient passengers (assume $100.00) Induced Impact Total Economic Impact multiply the sum of direct and indirect impacts by the multip!ier effect to determine induced impact (assume a multiplier of 3).6 The total of direct, indirect and induced impact amounts.. Direct impact $2,062,500.00 Indirect impact 30,000 transient operations per year, di,,'ided by 2 = 15,000 transient annual arrivals per year. Multiply 15,000 by 2.5 (average occupants) = $37,500 Multiply $37,500 by $100.00 (average dollars spent) = $3,750,000.00 total indirect impact. Induced impact $3,750,000.00 (indirect impact) multiply by 3 (average multiplier effect) = $11,250,000.00 total induced impact.

I am applying to serve on the Ukiah Airport Commission to positively shape the future of the Ukiah Airport, an action I feel important as a resident of Ukiah and as a pilot. 8. I understand that the Airport Commission meets monthly to bring up and form opinions on airport-related matters, and to assist the City Council with forming policy. 9. I believe that my skills as a project manager, my experience as an airport tenant, my expertise in manufacturing and construction, my education in economics at UC Davis, and my perspective as a pilot will be beneficial to discussions of airport issues, and will provide a strong base for forming opinions regarding the future of the airport. 10. With many small airports under attack from land developers, the single most important airport-related issue is keeping the airport open. I feel this can be accomplished by making sure that the benefits of having a working airport are known to our fellow residents so that the airport is supported by the public. Even if residents aren't primary users of the airport, they should understand the benefits from the services of Cai-Star medivacs, FedEx shipments, increased access to our community via the airport as a hub which promotes employment and reduces highway congestion, CDF fire protection, etc. If our residents understand the numerous benefits of the airport, developers will be much less likely to rally around negative externalities such as noise to whip up support for redevelopment. 11. The City should always support any genuine flight-dependent airport uses while discouraging other uses of the land which may conflict with the airport's primary reason for existence: serving aircraft and related uses. The City should also be actively soliciting adjacent land owners with offers to purchase land, thereby increasing the buffer around the runway environment. The City may also wish to educate the public regarding the benefits of a thriving airport through press releases, public participation programs, and information sessions. 12. The City should discourage any future housing development near the airport and should look very closely at other types of development near the airport before approving. 13. I envision a prosperous community in Ukiah which has limited congestion and plenty of services to support its residents, including our airport. I envision a place where three transportation modes will continue to co-exist: roads, railroad, and air. A one dimensional access to our area would soon show problems of congestion and depressed economics.

Community service is a priority to me. The airport is a major asset to the community, and should continue to be developed as such. I live near the airport and can help the Commission balance development with the interests of City and County homeowners whose quality of life and property values are affected by increased airport traffic and noise. If the City Council wishes to expand the roster of capable citizens who serve our community, then I would be an excellent appointment to this Commission. e What is your understanding of the purpose, role and responsibility of the Airport Commission? The Commission's purpose, role and responsibility is to manage the airport as a business--much as a board of directors manages a business. A good commission will encourage the involvement of all interested parties, keep the customer uppermost in mind, and develop long-term plans based upon facts. e How do you believe your own skills, experience, expertise and perspective will be beneficial to the work of the Commission? Key skills that recommend me to the Commission are fact gathering and analysis; superb communication skills, both written and spoken; public relations and business skills. I have developed two successful small businesses and served the City and County of Boulder, Colorado, on various task forces and commissions, most notably the Solid Waste Commission. That commission was charged with developing a large-scale recycling processing plant in a highly charged political climate pulled by special interests. I have won awards in public speaking and community relations and served on the boards of Business and Professional Women and Win/Win. As a relative newcomer to Ukiah (1.5 years), I offer a fresh perspective seasoned with experience. 10. What do you believe is the single most important Airport related issue facing our community? Why? The single most important Airport issue is this: How can the Airport become a streamlined, multi-purpose facility offering superior service, safety and aesthetics in a location soon to be engulfed by a growing City of Ukiah? Ukiah's airport serves government and business to an increasing degree, and in that regard is a 11. 12. 13. 14. major asset to the community. The commission has and must continue to seek public and private funding to develop this asset in line with the public interest. In your opinion, what type of airport programs or development should the City encourage? Most importantly, the City should encourage airport programs and development that attract clean business to Ukiah. We should plan for a commuter air service, as eventually it will become feasible. We must upgrade service, safety and aesthetics so that the airport remains an asset. Last but not least, we must include the community in long-range planning that addresses noise and traffic concerns. In your opinion, what type of Airport programming or Airport development should the City discourage? Because of its location adjacent to large tracts of retail businesses and residential housing, the Airport should discourage aircraft which present excessive noise, air pollution and flight safety concerns in a heavily populated, heavily used area. What kind of community do you envision for Ukiah? Having been active in Boulder, Colorado, government, my vision is a long shot from where we are now. Like Boulder, Ukiah is blessed with natural beauty and opportunities for a wide variety of outdoor activity. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to direct our growth now to preserve and enhance those qualities, which in turn will help us to attract clean businesses and a larger professional working class. I want to be actively involved in that. Here's my long-term vision: The valley bordering the Russian River will remain agricultural as planned, while School Street will become an even more attractive outdoor shopping/walking mall featuring more upscale shops and restaurants than currently are offered. I envision a "blue line" limit to residential development in the hills behind the City so that our backdrop remains beautiful and mudslides are minimized. I envision strong business growth in agriculture, recreation and technology, supported by an airport and commuter airline. I envision a network of recreational and commuter bike/walking trails along the railroad and Russian River north from Lake Mendocino to Hopland and west from Cow Mountain to downtown. I envision a hiking trail along the ridge west of town. I envision the City and County purchasing land for preservation through a small, taxpayer- supported retail tax. Do you have any known projects or conflicts of interest related to this Commission? None.
