[Amended 12-11-1995 by Ord. No. 96-38]
This article is enacted for the purpose of reasonably
regulating the business use of public airport facilities by private
motor vehicle rental companies which are located off airport property;
preserving good order and peace at the airport; providing for public
health, safety and welfare; helping to defray the costs of constructing,
operating, maintaining and improving the public airport facilities
through the imposition of reasonable user fees; and regulating the
use of public facilities in the furtherance of private commercial
activities.
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Any person who arrives at the airport by aircraft and is
transported from the airport to the location of an off-airport motor
vehicle rental business in its courtesy vehicle.
A motor vehicle which carries a licensee's airport customers
to or from the airport.
An individual, corporation, partnership or other entity or person operating at, entering on or exiting from airport property under a license issued by the City of Bangor pursuant to § 54-19 below. "Licensee" includes the officers, employees, agents or anyone acting on behalf of or with permission of the licensee.
An individual, corporation, partnership or other entity or
person offering and providing to the public rental motor vehicles,
including, without limitation, automobiles and other four-wheel passenger
vehicles for hire, to be driven by the lessee.
No person engaging in an off-airport motor vehicle
rental business shall operate at, enter upon or use airport property
for the purpose of providing pickup or dropoff service for airport
customers except under an executed, written agreement with the City
of Bangor specifically licensing the operation of such services at
the airport. Without limiting the authority granted elsewhere in this
article, the Airport Director is authorized to enter into off-airport
business license agreements which authorize such licensees to conduct
certain business operations on airport property in exchange for the
payment of a reasonable user fee. Said agreement shall provide for
the payment of annual user fees based upon a percentage of the gross
revenues from its airport customers, as follows:
A.
Effective January 1, 1996, through December 31, 2000,
or the date upon which a license is granted to an off-airport motor
vehicle rental business: 5% of the gross revenues.
B.
Effective January 1, 2001, or the date upon which
a license is granted to an off-airport motor vehicle rental business,
whichever is later: 7.5% of the gross revenues.
The Airport Director may issue such directives as may be necessary to implement this article, such directives to be issued pursuant to Article II. Licensees shall comply with all existing applicable airport rules and regulations, as they may be amended from time to time, including, without limitation, mandatory minimum insurance requirements.
