All special events require written authorization by the Airport Manager
in the initial planning stage. The authorization will be in the form
of a letter of authorization from the Airport Manager to the special
event coordinator in which the coordinator is recognized as involved
in the planning process for a specific type of special event. The
letter of authorization may be used as an introduction to other local
government agencies, the FAA, potential event sponsors, and local
business leaders. The letter will recognize the special event coordinator
as a legitimate representative of a proposed special event, that the
type of special event is suitable and compatible with the policies
of the Airport Commission, and that the event coordinator is authorized
to pursue the planning process. If the event is a reoccurring activity,
the event organizers must still receive written authorization each
activity year. NOTE: This letter of permission by the Airport Manager
is not a permit or license to proceed with the event. It is merely
an authorization to pursue the feasibility and planning process for
a special event. This step is necessary so that details of the planning
are not allowed to proceed excessively before the Airport Commission
is brought into the process.
