The budget is two-fold; amendment of the Airport Rates and Fees Regulation is tied to the updated FY26 budget presented. The Board is requested to review the proposed budget (and rates/fees adjustments) options as outlined below and detailed in the attachments.
Attachment #7: Airport OVERVIEW in the City Finance Department’s format (before rate increases).
FY26 shortfalls need to be addressed:
FY25 Projected shortfall ($309,100) to be covered by residual CARES money draw in FY25
FY26 Revised shortfall ($400,453) see proposed rates/fees increase
SCENARIO A (Attachments #1, #4, #5, #6 and #8)
FY26 Shortfall Allocation by Cost Center:
Security: $338,137 (91% $225,600/ less shared 9% $112,537) $225,600 (91%) pay w/SSF* *Security Screening Fee
Terminal: ($379,084) (plus 50% security residual: $56,269) ($322,816)
Airfield: $441,400 (plus 50% security residual: $56,269) $497,688
Balance owed on Airfield $174,853 (see allocations below)
Airfield Balance Allocation 85/15 $174,853
85% Air Carrier (large) $148,625
15% 135/GA (small) $ 26,228
1. *SECURITY SCREENING FEES (SSF). Security Program expense increases (personnel and badging system) began mid-FY25, coupled with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) terminating the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Reimbursement agreement starting in FY25, a deficit of $338,137 shows up in the Security Cost Center. The Screening Fees are determined through 91% allocation for screening checkpoint hours. For FY26, the passenger Security Screening Fees would need to increase from $2.69 to $3.35 per passenger in FY26. This would generate $225,600 in additional revenue for this cost center. The remaining 9% ($112,537) is 50/50 split with terminal and airfield per allocations.
Airfield shortfall calculated by applying terminal overage credit, and applying the 9% security residual, then applying the 85/15 allocations.
2. *LANDING FEES (LF). The airfield shortfall plus 50% residual security requires $148,625 in 121/Air Carrier 85% contribution. Based on landed weights projected, an increase in LF from $3.34 to $3.50 (signatory)/1,000lbs and $4.18 to $4.38 (non-signatory)/1,000 lbs. is required. This anticipates $148,600 in additional revenue.
3. FUEL FLOWAGE FEES (FFF). The airfield shortfall plus 50% residual security requires $26,228 in 135/GA 15% contribution. Based on gallons projected, an increase in FFF from $0.33 to $0.345 (signatory)/gallon and $0.41 to $0.43 (non-signatory)/gallon is required. This anticipates $24,900 in additional revenue.
The increase in SSF, LF and FFF, as detailed above, leaves a balance of $1,353 to cover with fund balance.
SCENARIO B (Attachments #1, #9, #10, #11 and #12)
FY26 Shortfall Allocation by Cost Center:
Security: $338,137 (91% $225,600/ less shared 9% $112,537) $225,600 (91%) pay w/SSF*
*Security Screening Fee
Terminal: ($379,084) (plus 50%: sec residual & $50K: $81,269) ($297,816)
Airfield: $441,400 (plus 50%: sec residual & $50K: $81,269) $522,668
Balance owed on Airfield $224,853 (see allocations below)
Airfield Balance Allocation 85/15 $224,853
85% Air Carrier (large) $191,125
15% 135/GA (small) $ 33,728
1.*SECURITY SCREENING FEES (SSF). Same allocation on all 3 scenarios.
2. *LANDING FEES (LF). The airfield shortfall plus 50% residual security and $50K Contingency Reserve requires $191,125 in 121/Air carrier 85% contribution. Based on landed weights projected, an increase in LF from $3.34 to $3.54 (signatory)/1,000lbs; and $4.18 to $4.43 (non-signatory)/1,000 lbs. is required. This anticipates $191,500 in additional revenue.
3. FUEL FLOWAGE FEES (FFF). The airfield shortfall plus 50% residual security and $50K Contingency Reserve requires $33,728 in 135/GA 15% contribution. Based on gallons projected, an increase in FFF from $0.33 to $0.35 (signatory)/gallon; and $0.41 to $0.435 (non-signatory)/gallon is required. This anticipates $32,600 in additional revenue.
The increase in SSF, LF and FFF, as detailed above, leaves a balance of $753 to cover with fund balance.
SCENARIO C (Attachments #1, #13, #14, #15 and #16)
FY26 Shortfall Allocation by Cost Center:
Security: $338,137 (91% $225,600/ less shared 9% $112,537) $225,600 (91%) pay w/SSF*
*Security Screening Fee
Terminal: ($379,084) (plus 50%: sec residual & $100K: $106,269) ($272,816)
Airfield: $441,400 (plus 50%: sec residual & $100K: $106,269) $547,668
Balance owed on Airfield $274,853 (see allocations below)
Airfield Balance Allocation 85/15 $274,853
85% Air Carrier (large) $233,625
15% 135/GA (small) $ 41,228
1.*SECURITY SCREENING FEES (SSF). Same allocation on all 3 scenarios.
2. *LANDING FEES (LF). The airfield shortfall plus 50% residual security and $100K Contingency Reserve requires $233,625 in 121/Air carrier 85% contribution. Based on landed weights projected, an increase in LF from $3.34 to $3.59 (signatory)/1,000lbs and $4.18 to $4.49 (non-signatory)/1,000 lbs. is required. This anticipates $234,300 in additional revenue.
3. FUEL FLOWAGE FEES (FFF). The airfield shortfall plus 50% residual security and $50K Contingency Reserve requires $41,228 in 135/GA 15% contribution. Based on gallons projected, an increase in FFF from $0.33 to $0.3675 (signatory)/gallon and $0.41 to $0.4425 (non-signatory)/gallon is required. This anticipates $41,200 in additional revenue.
The increase in SSF, LF and FFF, as detailed above, creates an over-collection of $647.
*NOTE: IN PAST YEARS, 121 AIR CARRIERS REQUESTED SECURITY SCREENING FEES, FUEL FLOWAGE FEES AND LANDING FEES TO BE IMPLEMENTED AT THE START OF THE SUMMER SEASON RATHER THAN JULY 1. STAFF PROPOSES TO START THESE FEE INCREASES EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2025.
Once the budget and any rates/fees increases are approved, the Airport Board will need to forward the budget to the City & Borough of Juneau (CBJ) and begin the 21-day public comment period for the amended Airport Rates & Fees Regulation. This would then come baack to the Board to consider any public comments. After approval, the regulation would need to go to the Assembly for adoption (one meeting). This would need to parallel the budget process.
