POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL AIR SERVICE OPERATORS A summary of proposals made by Golden Pacific Airlines and £kymark Airlines to begin air serve to Ukiah Municipal Airport by March 31, 1969, was reviewed in detail by the City Manager. The City Manager stated that in his opinion he questioned the economic feasibility of the operation of two airlines, but since there was no factual basis on which to select one of the two interested companies that both be permitted to operate. Both proposals contain a request for counter space in the lobby of the airport administration building and while it is not an ideal situation, both companies agree that they could use a single counter facility with adequate operating space. The City Manager recommended that because of the probability of joint use of a single counter, that any remodeling and construction be done by the City. Proposed rental rate is $30 per month for office space to Golden Pacific Airlines and $16 per month for utilities and $250 per month, each for half the counter space. In addition, it was recommended that a landing fee be established at 8¢ per thousand pounds with a minimum of $20 per month per flight. The City Attorney reported that, in his opinion, we could not restrict an airline from servicing the area since this would be entering into the Public Utility Commission jurisdiction and possible problems with future grants. Mr. P.V. Hodges and Mr. C.F. Banfe, representing Golden Pacific Airlines were present in the audience and answered questions directed to them by the Council. Mr. Lewis, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Dick Sarber, Airport Commission Chairman, were present in the audience and indicated their interest in and desire to have an airline service established here. It was suggested that the matter be tabled until next week to al low time for a look at the airport facility to determine if, in the opinion of the Council, enough space is available from which the two airlines can operate.
