WHEREAS, the City of Hollister’s (“City”) Police and Fire Departments are required to spend a significant amount of time in the apprehension and arrest of persons who drive while under the influence of alcohol or any drug and in responding to accidents caused by persons driving under the influence (“DUI”);
WHEREAS, the time spent by the Police and Fire Departments for that purpose is costly and detrimentally affects the ability of those departments from being available to respond to other calls or incidents;
WHEREAS, as authorized pursuant to California Government Code sections 53150 et seq., the City intends to recover costs incurred for emergency responses for driving under the influence incidents.

NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HOLLISTER DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: The Hollister Municipal Code is hereby amended to add Title 9, Chapter

9.50, Recovery of Emergency Response Costs for Driving Under the Influence Incidents, to read as follows:

TITLE 9 – PUBLIC PEACE, MORALS AND WELFARE
CHAPTER 9.50 - RECOVERY OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE COSTS FOR DRIVING

UNDER THE INFLUENCE INCIDENTS

9.50.010 Purpose
It is the policy of the City of Hollister (“City”) to discourage the operation of motor vehicles while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and to discourage the operation of motor vehicles in a manner intended to injure another person or property.

It is also the policy of the City to encourage careful and responsible conduct by persons operating motor vehicles.

Ordinance No. 1268

The City has determined that the negligent operation of a motor vehicle by persons driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs imposes a burden upon City services above and beyond the regular services normally required for traffic law enforcement.

The City has further determined that persons who negligently operate motor vehicles while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs should bear a share of the extraordinary burden on the public risk they create.

In furtherance of these policies and in light of these findings, the City has implemented a program for the recovery of emergency response costs for driving under the influence incidents (“Costs Recovery Program”) as authorized by Government Code sections 53150 through 53158.

9.50.020 Definitions
(a) For purposes of this chapter, a person is under the influence of an alcoholic beverage or any drug, or combined influence of an alcoholic beverage and any drug, when as a result of drinking an alcoholic beverage or using a drug, or both, his or her physical or mental abilities are impaired to a degree that he or she no longer has the ability to operate a motor vehicle with the caution and characteristic of a sober person of ordinary prudence under the same or similar circumstances. For the purposes of this chapter, the presumptions described in provisions of Section 23152 of the California Vehicle Code shall apply.
(b) For purposes of this chapter, an “emergency response” is one for which police personnel and equipment respond to an “incident” beyond the police response required for a mere traffic stop leading to an arrest.
(c) For purposes of this chapter, an “incident” is an event involving any person who is under the influence of an alcoholic beverage or any drug, or the combined influence of an alcoholic beverage and any drug, whose negligent operation of a motor vehicle due to influence results in, or presents the potential of, loss of life, significant bodily injury, significant property damage, or environmental hazard, and includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(1) An accident with another vehicle, person, or property. (2) Evading a peace officer in violation of California Vehicle Code section 2800.1. A conviction is not required.
(3) Failure to stop within a reasonable time after the officer activates the emergency lights or siren with the intent to pull the suspect over. A reasonable time is presumed to be one-half (1/2) of a mile after the officer is behind the suspect, provided the emergency lights or siren are visible or audible to the suspect and the suspect sees or hears or reasonably should have seen or heard the lights or siren. A reasonable time

Ordinance No. 1268

may be less or more than one-half (1/2) of a mile depending on surrounding circumstances, including type of street, speed, weather conditions, level o f traffic, and availability of a safe place to stop.
(4) Failure to yield to an emergency vehicle in violation of California Vehicle Code section 21806. A conviction is not required.
(5) Driving the wrong way on a one-way street.
(6) Driving on the wrong side of the road.

(11) Driving in a manner causing other vehicles to take evasive action to avoid an accident.

This is a nonexclusive list. Other driving situations that the arresting officer believes may constitute an emergency response shall be reviewed on a case -by-case basis.

9.50.030 Emergency Cost Recovery
Calculation of the amount due for “emergency response” shall include the direct and reasonable costs of an appropriate emergency response, including salary, benefits and overhead as established by the City, for each member of th e Police Department or Fire Department responding to the incident. The calculation shall also be comprised of direct costs which include, but are not limited to:
(1) The costs of police, fire, emergency medical services, and other emergency services in responding to the scene of the incident;
(2) The costs of the emergency services at the scene of the incident, including directing traffic and ensuring public safety at the scene of the accident; (3) The costs of obtaining appropriate medical assistance, removing vehicles, investigating the cause of an accident, conducting field sobriety tests, and arresting and detaining the suspect;
(4) The costs of transporting the suspect, booking, performing chemical tests, writing customarily required reports, and performing follow-up investigation to complete the reports.

Ordinance No. 1268

9.50.040 Collection of Charges
(a) The chief of police or his/her designee shall calculate the charges payable under this section and shall forward the information that is required to invoice the person responsible for the incident to the finance and management services agency. (b) If the person responsible for the incident is a minor, then the parents or guardian of such minor shall be liable for the cost of the emergency response as defined in this chapter.
(c) If the invoice remains unpaid within thirty (30) days after it is mailed, and no arrangements have been made for payments, at its discretion, the City may pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies to collect the unpaid invoice pursuant to this chapter, including the commencement of a collections action. Pursuit of one remedy does not preclude the pursuit of another remedy

9.50.050 Procedures for Implementation of Cost Recovery Program (a) The City shall not pursue recovery of driving under the influence response costs when providing assistance to an allied agency during an incident subject to this ordinance.

(3) A supporting evidential test demonstrates a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.08 percent or greater, with breath tests requiring two readings of at least 0.08 percent each (Preliminary Alcohol Screening tests shall not satisfy this requirement); or

(4) For commercial vehicle operators, a supporting evidential test demonstrates a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.04 percent or greater while operating a commercial vehicle.

(c) A conviction for violation of California Vehicle Code Section 23152, Section 23153, or a more serious related offense shall be required for cost recovery when any of the following circumstances apply:

STAFF REPORT

HOLLISTER CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 3, 2025
REPORT # Human Resources-2025-03

AGENDA ITEM: A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PERMIT CENTER MANAGER

AND FINANCE DIRECTOR CLASSIFICATIONS AND ADDING ONE FULL TIME EQUIVALENT (FTE) POSITION TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 BUDGET

DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Jim Pia, Interim City Manager
STAFF CONTACT: Sydnee Vega, Human Resources Analyst

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving the Permit Center Manager and Finance Director classifications, approving salary schedules for the Permit Center Manager and Finance Director classifications, and adding one full-time equivalent (FTE) position in the Permit Center Manager classification to the Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 budget.

DISCUSSION: City staff regularly monitor the organization’s operational needs, including evaluating how changes in demands for service and/or changes in job industries may impact staff’s job duties and associated job descriptions. To that end, staff have identified gaps within the City’s Permit Center and Finance operations, including a need to introduce the Permit Center Manager and Finance Director job classifications and the associated salary schedules.

In making the determination for a need for a Permit Center Manager classification, the City of Hollister engaged Beauchaine Consulting Group (BCG) to conduct a classification analysis and study to make recommendations for a new classification desired. Based on the analysis, BCG recommended the Permit Center Manager classification with a salary range of M-55 as set in the City’s Salary Schedule. Staff reviewed the analysis and are in agreement with the proposed recommendation.

The Permit Center Manager will plan, organize, and lead the Permit Center and perform advanced technical work; monitor permitting processes and work to improve efficiencies by implementing industry best practice; coordinate and oversee all customer service and permitting functions; act as a system administrator of the permit issuance and tracking system; provide written and verbal information to the public regarding the permit, license and development review process, policies and procedures; instruct, assign, plan, and review the work and performance of assigned Permit Center staff. The Permit Center Manager classification will exercise direct and general supervision over technical and Center support staff and will report directly to the Community Development Department Director.

Based on assigned duties and responsibilities, the Permit Center Manager classification will be designated as part of the Mid-Management Unit.

In making the determination for a need for a Finance Director classification, City staff observed the need for Executive level management to oversee Finance operations. The

City’s Administrative Services Director position has been vacant since May of 2025.

Due to staffing challenges and the need to focus on the City’s Fiscal environment, City staff recommends adopting the Finance Director classification to oversee Finance operations. The Finance Director classification will have a salary range of X-91 as set in the City’s Salary Schedule.

The Finance Director will plan, direct, manage, and oversee the activities and operations of the Finance Department, including accounting, data processing, purchasing, and finance, to coordinate assigned activities with other City departments and outside agencies, and to provide highly responsible and complex administrative support to the City Manager. The Finance Director classification will exercise direct supervision over professional, technical, and clerical staff and will report directly to the City Manager.

Based on assigned duties and responsibilities, the Finance Director classification will be designated as part of the Executive Management Unit.

FISCAL IMPACT: The fully burdened cost, including salary and benefits, for one full- time Permit Center Manager position is estimated to be $218,639.32/annually. If approved, costs for the Permit Center Manager position will be funded through the General Fund (Fund 101), split between 101-4005 (Building) and 101-4010 (Planning).

For FY 25/26 and future years, no additional allocation of General Funds is needed as savings that will be realized by the corresponding elimination of an equivalent, contracted 4Leaf position will fully support the position’s cost.

There will be no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the Finance Director classification, as the associated salary and benefits of the position are identical to those of the budgeted Administrative Services Director position it will replace.

HOLLISTER CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 3, 2025
REPORT # Public Works-2025-57

AGENDA ITEM: A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ANNEXATION OF THE ANNOTTI LANDING SUBDIVISION, TRACT 363 INTO COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT #4 ANNEXATION NO. 64 (PUBLIC FACILITIES SERVICES)

DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Rod Powell, Assistant City Manager
STAFF CONTACT: Dillon Albert, Assistant Engineer

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving the annexation of the Annotti Landing Subdivision, Tract 363 into CFD#4.

DISCUSSION: In 2014, Section 53340 of the Mello-Roos Act (the “Act”) was amended to allow parcels to be annexed into an existing Community Facilities District with the unanimous approval of property owners in the impacted area. The change introduced an economical, streamlined, and creative solution to providing public improvement maintenance services for development projects.

HOLLISTER CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 3, 2025
REPORT # Public Works-2025-60

AGENDA ITEM: A RESOLUTION APPROVING A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR

FUND TRANSFERS AND INCREASING THE NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT FOR

CHANGE ORDERS FOR THE WEST GATEWAY ROUNDABOUT PROJECT

DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Rod Powell, Assistant City Manager
STAFF CONTACT: Cristian Builes

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving:

1. A budget adjustment and fund transfer of allocated funds for the West Gateway Roundabout Project from Fund 304 (Traffic Impact) to Fund 275.

2. A transfer of funds from the Sewer Enterprise Fund (Fund 660) in the amount of $405,244 to Fund 275.

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute change orders with Granite Rock Company in an amount not to exceed $1,095,244 in addition to the original contracted work of $3,451,890 for a total amount not-to-exceed of $4,547,134.

DISCUSSION: The City of Hollister is currently constructing the West Gateway Roundabout Project, which is partially funded through a CDBG grant. Funds for this project are allocated from Fund 304 to support project completion. However, according to CDBG program requirements, all CDBG related expenses must be paid from Fund 275, which was created specifically for this grant. Staff are requesting a transfer of the currently budgeted funds from Fund 304 to Fund 275.

During construction, the City identified several deteriorated sewer manholes located within the project limits, with some in the traveled traffic lanes. These manholes serve the main trunk line that carries all City sewer to the treatment plant. The condition of these manholes required immediate repair and reconstruction to prevent system failure and to allow construction to proceed. This work was not included in the original project scope and therefore required a change order to complete the necessary re pairs. Execution of this change order utilized most of the project’s contingency funds. To restore the contingency and maintain adequate funding for potential unforeseen issues related to the project, staff is requesting a transfer of $405,244 from the Sewer Enterprise Fund (Fund 660) to reimburse the project for these sewer-related expenses.

To correct the oversight of not including the contingency funds in the not to exceed amount of the contract and authorizing resolution, and to account for the unforeseen sewer-related expenses, staff are requesting to amend the contract amount for Granite Rock and increase the not to exceed amount to $4,547,134. The reque sted increase includes the already budgeted contingency and the sewer related change order costs.

Approval of the fund transfers and not to exceed amounts will ensure the City’s continued compliance with CDBG requirements, ensure reimbursements are received in a timely manner, provide adequate funding to complete the West Gateway Roundabout Project ,

and restore necessary contingency funding for any unforesee n project-related issues.

FISCAL IMPACT: All funds to be transferred are currently included in the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL OR COMMISSION ACTION: Resolution 2023-23, 2023-71 and 2025-16

CEQA: Approval of this Resolution does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.

STAFF REPORT

HOLLISTER CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 3, 2025
REPORT # Airport-2025-27

AGENDA ITEM: RECEIVE THE RATES AND FEES STUDY FOR THE HOLLISTER

MUNICIPAL AIRPORT AND PRESENATION BY ASCENSION GROUP PARTNERS

DEPARTMENT: Airport
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Jeff Crechriou, Airport Director
STAFF CONTACT: Jeff Crechriou, Airport Director

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive the Rates and Fees Study for the Hollister Municipal Airport and presentation by Ascension Group Partners and provide feedback to staff.

DISCUSSION: In the fall of 2024, the Airport desired to conduct a Rates & Fees Study .

Ascension Group Partners (AGP) of Long Beach, California, was selected and entered into a contract beginning on March 1, 2025.

Introduction of AGP:

AGP is an aviation development, consulting, and management firm with more than 150 years of combined industry experience serving airports, especially GA facilities, and their tenants. The firm’s mission centers on delivering premier, practical solutions across development, consulting, and property/project management for airports, operators, FBOs/SASOs, and municipalities.

AGP’s GA specialty spans policy and advocacy through facility development. On the consulting side, the team has led minimum standards updates, rates and charges studies, competitive solicitations, and financial evaluations. On the development side, AGP manages hangar developments in Southern California and nationwide.

AGP also operates and oversees premier GA leaseholds at Long Beach, Van Nuys, Santa Monica, and Dallas Love Field, bringing a blend of local service and national expertise to day-to-day property, project, and program management. The firm is led by President/CEO Curt Castagna, with 40+ years in GA development, consulting, and management, who also serves as President/CEO of the National Air Transportation Association (NATA). Industry expert Ryan Leick, PhD, CM draws on operational experience from his career in airline management and insight acquired educating aviation professionals to advise the aviation industry on practical solutions supporting sustainable airport development.

Consultant Report Summary:

The Rates and Fees Study (Study) provides a survey of a peer set of airports and financial pro forma for decision makers to see how pricing options and development opportunities support the Airport’s long-term sustainability goals.

Market average and ranges are not universally applicable, and it is ultimately up to

Hollister Airport how opportunities to raise revenue through fees are implemented, given the local conditions at CVH. A transparent, predictable approach to rate-setting, using market comparability and cost-recovery principles is recommended but market rates should inform, not dictate, the City's rate setting method. The study proposes a modest adjustment to the Airport fee schedule that standardizes existing charges with potential new fees.

The report also highlights opportunities to grow aeronautical activity that will strengthen the Airport’s own financial position and importance to the region as a driver of economic development. Rate increases alone will not achieve self -sufficiency. As such, the pro forma incorporates assumptions on future ground lease developments that have the potential to offset the need for increased or new fees. However, the Airport will likely require short-term loans to bridge the Sponsor's required contribution for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Funded Airport Capital Improvement Projects (ACIP) planned through FY 2028, with repayment supported by aeronautical revenue growth from fees and development.

Airport Director Observations:

The Airport is not self-sufficient in that it currently does not generate enough revenue to pay for the operations, maintenance of the Airport assets (buildings & hangars), and accumulate funds for the grant match obligations of the high value FAA Funded ACIP projects. As a result, the need to generate more revenue exists.

The Study finds that the rates for main reven ue generating categories such as hangar rent and ground lease are substantially higher than those rates of the peer set of airports.

The Airport is unique in its ability to generate revenue and to maintain and grow sustainable businesses, both aviation and non-aviation. The Airport is not currently a destination Airport. Adding new fees and/or increasing existing rates and fees may be a deterrent for itinerant aviation operators to choose to utilize the airport and for based tenants (pilots and businesses) to remain at the airport.

Self-sufficiency can be achieved through maximizing ground lease development opportunities, Through the Fence Access Permits and Airport Use Agreements, and when feasible, the Airport/City building more hangar units. The Airport has many long-term tenants with leases that increase annually by Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments.

As the revenue generation increases, the various lease rates should be reviewed for a market rate reset.

HOLLISTER MUNICIPAL AIRPORT

RATES AND FEES STUDY

FINAL REPORT
October 24, 2025

2 Hollister Municipal Airport (“CVH” or “Airport”) is a non-towered, public-use airport owned and operated by the City of Hollister (“City” or “Sponsor”). The airport is classified as a General Aviation Local airport in the FAA’s National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (“NPIAS”) with 105 based aircraft on 343 acres located three nautical miles north of Hollister, California. The airfield is at an elevation of 230 feet MSL with two asphalt runways: Runway 13/31 (6,350 × 100 ft) and Runway 6/24 (3,150 × 100 ft).

The current Airport Master Plan was developed in 2003. The Master Plan depicts proposed facilities on the Airport Layout Plan (“ALP”) which was updated by Coffman Associates in July 2018. The Airport Capital Improvement Plan (“ACIP”) projects capital expenses and project phasing of facilities on the ALP. Kimley Horn updated the ACIP annually and prescribed $18.1M in capital projects through FY2027-28.

NPIAS airports are eligible to receive federal funds collected from users of the national airspace system based on the principle that those who use the system should pay for it. The Airport and Airways Trust Fund collects revenue from passenger tickets, cargo shipments, and fuel sales which is distributed to NPIAS airports through the Airport Improvement Program (“AIP”).

Federal AIP grants provide funding equal to approximately 90% of the eligible project costs in exchange for obligations to uphold FAA Grant Assurances. The Sponsor’s 10% match is expected to be offset by state matching grants from the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) Division of Aeronautics equal to 5% of the federal match, up to a maximum of $150,000 annually. Further, the 2024 FAA Reauthorization Bill temporarily increased federal funding levels to 95% of eligible projects through FY2026.

Hollister Municipal Airport is entering a sustained, capital intensive period of facility redevelopment without a reserve to finance operational contingencies, facility maintenance, or capital construction projects.

Through FY2027-28, the ACIP calls for $19.9 M in capital projects requiring $1.6M in Sponsor contributions.

The Sponsor has engaged Ascension Group Partners (“AGP”) to conduct this Rates and Charges Study with the purpose of determining appropriate aeronautical fees sufficient to cover the Airport’s operating expenses and funding requirements for planned capital projects. A survey of market-based rates was conducted for a Peer Set of airports along with a pro forma financial analysis to calculate the Airport total and net requirements necessary to cover the Sponsor’s operating expenses and capital project obligations.

Hollister Airport is in close proximity to the San Francisco Bay area with a full-service FBO and secondary crosswind runway capable of supporting large aircraft. However, CVH does not have significant large aircraft operations providing substantial sources of landing fees and jet fuel revenue. There is also limited land on airport for the development of aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenue sources. The path to self- sufficiency at CVH is to pursue aeronautical growth through development of existing airport assets for the highest and best use. Self-sufficiency cannot be achieved by simply increasing rates, which can often present a deterrent to airport growth.

3 1.0 Airport Rates and Charges

While federal and state grants cover most of an airport’s capital project expenses, airport sponsors are liable for 100% of the day-to-day operating expenses to keep the airport in a safe and serviceable condition required by grant assurances. The sponsor typically relies on operating revenue from aeronautical activity to offset operating expenses.

When it comes to airport operating revenue, federal law does not mandate a specific approach to airport rate setting. FAA Grant Assurances 24 and 25 require airports to maintain a rate structure that makes the facility as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at the particular airport, while ensuring that all airport revenues are used solely for airport-related purposes. Revenue diversion occurs when airport income is used for non-airport purposes, such as unrelated municipal programs or infrastructure projects, in violation of federal grant assurances. Revenue dilution, the failure to collect appropriate revenues or undervaluing airport assets such as ground leases, hangar rents, and land sales, also diminishes long-term self-sufficiency.

Sponsors must employ a reasonable, consistent, and transparent method of establishing rates and adjustments on a timely and predictable schedule. FAA will not ordinarily investigate the reasonableness of a general aviation airport’s fees absent evidence of a progressive accumulation of surplus aeronautical revenues. In establishing new fees, and generating revenues from all sources, airport owners and operators should not seek to create revenue surpluses that exceed the amounts to be used for airport purposes, including reasonable reserves and other funds to facilitate financing and to cover contingencies.

Municipal sponsors tend to operate airports like other public utilities with the goal of balancing the operating budget by setting market rates based on nearby similar facilities. While rates charged at nearby airports are informative, they are not universally comparable and do not reflect the differing cost base and revenue necessary to achieve the FAA’s stated goal of self-sufficiency. Furthermore, market rates have not kept up with increases in operating expenses, let alone fund capital reserves, so regional averages used as a benchmark reinforce historically suppressed rates. Land leases and hangar rents, often the most significant sources of operating revenue for general aviation airports, are typically escalated around 3% annually in line with the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). However, the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index (“ENR-CCI”), which better represents capital replacement cost, has run about twice the CPI. AGP recommends annually adjusting the established fee schedule using the ENR-CCI index.

A hybrid compensatory-residual approach is recommended for general aviation airports, setting aeronautical fees based on a combination of market comparability and cost recovery. In a compensatory model, the airport assumes responsibility for any shortfall in aeronautical revenues necessary to cover the rate base while aeronautical users assume this responsibility through a cost recovery mechanism, such as landing fees, in a residual model. This blended approach allows for increased aeronautical activity to offset the necessity for fee increases, supporting below market rates that further stimulate airport development.

CVH should maintain market-based rates comparable to a peer set of airports (“Peer Set”) to avoid displacing demand for airport related services while promoting revenue growth through increased aeronautical activity. A market rate adjustment should be conducted every fifth year to bring aeronautical fees in alignment with comparable rates and Airport financial requirements.

4 2.0 Market-Based Rate Survey

A market survey of rates and charges was conducted on a Peer Set of eight comparable airports, two competitive airports, and four fire base airports. Three hundred and three (303) publicly owned, public use airports in California, Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona were evaluated to select the airports most similar to CVH for inclusion in the Peer Set. Seven criteria were used in the evaluation: NPIAS role, number of based aircraft, TFMSC C-II operations, Air Traffic Control Tower (“ATCT”), and Instrument Landing System (“ILS”) facilities, acres of land, and distance from CVH. Data was acquired from the FAA Form 5010-1 Airport Master Record database. Traffic Flow Management System Count (“TFMSC”) operations for Airport Reference Code C-II aircraft or larger were acquired from the FAA Aviation System Performance Metrics Web Data System.

All airports in the Peer Set were scored on the seven criteria by indexing the value for each airport minus the value for CVH on a scale of 0 to 1 with the highest score given to airports identical to CVH and the lowest score given to airports most dissimilar to CVH. For instance, CVH received a score of 1 in each of the seven criteria for a total index score of 7.00. Hanford Municipal (HJO) was the most similar airport in the region with a total index score of 6.72: NPIAS Role (1.00), based aircraft (0.93), TFMSC C-II Operations (0.97), ATCT (1.00), and ILS (1.00), acres (0.96), and distance (0.86). Two competitive airports within 20 miles of CVH as well as four fire base airports were also included in the Peer Set (Figure 1).

Figure 1. CVH Airport Peer Set.

Surveys of peer set airports are conducted to collect common aeronautical rates providing insight on competitive and fair market ranges. Airports in the Peer Set were selected on characteristics similar to those found at CVH. While ground leases, hangar rents, and fuel flowage fees often account for nearly all aeronautical revenues at general aviation airports, many other circumstances influence the revenue- generating ability of an airport to cover capital and operating expenses toward the FAA’s stated goal of self- sufficiency. Additional income derived from airport owned FBOs, commercial aeronautical operators, large aircraft operations, local economic development, and occasionally non-aeronautical leases for facilities, ground, or natural resource extraction may offset or subsidize aeronautical rates necessary to cover the rate base. Thus, comparable market rates are informative in determining appropriate rates at CVH, but market rates may reflect other budget balancing revenue sources not available to the Airport. Therefore, the Sponsor may unilaterally impose fees outside of market ranges, after consultation with users, if it is consistent with FAA policy and necessary for self-sufficiency.

5 2.1 Aircraft Parking and Aeronautical Facility Rent Rates

Airports providing a paved tie-down area typically charge a nightly rate for transient aircraft and a monthly rate for based aircraft. Many airports structure parking rates in a fixed tier based on the aircraft category and/or and weight. Hollister Airport charges nightly rates of $5 for single engine, $10 for multi engine, $10 or $25 for helicopter, and $25 for jet aircraft. Monthly tie-down rates are $50 for tail-in and $70 for taxi-in spaces. These rates were provided by Airport staff but are not included on the City of Hollister’s Consolidated Fee Schedule and therefore could not be independently verified.

Figure 2. Current Nightly and Monthly Tie-Down Fees.

Hollister’s monthly tie-down fees are below the market average for single engine nightly and monthly parking. The nightly tie-down charge for transient aircraft is among the lowest in the Peer Set and uses a different tiered methodology than monthly parking (Figure 2). AGP recommends raising the single engine nightly and monthly rates to the market average and standardizing the tiered structure on aircraft category at a rate 8x the average nightly rate. The monthly rate for single engine taxi-in, multi engine and glider parking should be set to 150% of the single engine, tail in rate based on the approximate proportional displacement with the jet rate raised relative to the increase in the single engine rate.

Figure 3. Proposed Nightly and Monthly Tie-Down Fees.

The proposed structure (Figure 3) brings the nightly tie-down rates in line with market while standardizing the monthly tie-down structure to match. The proposed structure and rates are also similar to Watsonville in the comparable set and Salinas in the competitive set of airports (Figure 4).

Turbine: jet or helicopter $360 $622 $700

6 2.2 Ground Lease and Hangar Rent Rates

Ground lease and hangar rent rates are difficult to compare because property leases are uniquely determined based on existing improvements, access to the airfield, negotiation between parties, appraisals, and/or comparative properties. Surveying ground lease and hangar rent rates is informative, but such rates are not universally comparable from airport to airport. Ground lease rates are typically influenced by terms specified in the lease, such as required scheduled improvements over the lease term or conditions such as improvement reversion requirements at the end of the term.

Ground lease rates are often bifurcated for unimproved sites with no utilities or taxiway access and improved sites that have utilities and taxiway access. However, the most common structure in the survey was a single aeronautical ground lease rate. The rates displayed in Figure 5 are for various aeronautical sites at Peer Set airports. Note, CVH applies an improved rate under the building footprint and unimproved rate for apron and other areas on the same parcel which provides a blended rate not directly comparable to peer airports.

Figure 5. Ground Lease Rates ($/sq. ft. annually).

Hollister’s Aeronautical Ground Lease rates are well above the market average of $0.49 / sq. ft annually.

Figure 6 shows the average T-hangar rental rates at comparable airports. Hollister’s airport owned t-hangar rental rates are priced above market average but still within the Peer Set range. Note, only airport owned T-Hangars with published rates are included in the dataset.

Figure 6. T-Hangar Rent Rates ($/sq ft monthly).

7 2.3 Fuel Flowage Fee

Fuel flowage fees are a charge on fuel sales by Fixed Base Operators (“FBOs”) remitted to the Airport.

Airports occasionally bifurcate fuel flowage fees for jet fuel and avgas. Similarly, a separate fuel flowage fee may also be established for self-fueling operations at a rate significantly higher than retail. Most airport sponsors in the Peer Set operate the FBO and therefore do not have a published fuel flowage fee. CVH’s retail fuel flowage fee of $0.08 is slightly below the Peer Set average of $0.10/gallon (Figure 7) as on the low end of the national range from $0.05 to $0.25/gallon.

Figure 7. Peer Set Fuel Flowage Fees.

2.4 Other Airport Fees and Charges

Other fees found at Peer Set airports not charged by CVH include vehicular parking, derelict/non- operational aircraft fees, commercial permit fees, and hangar ground lease origination/transfer fees.

While overnight vehicular parking fees are difficult to collect without infrastructure, monthly or annual fees are often assessed by airports to hangar tenants requiring an airfield access permit for private automobiles.

However, many tenants believe this privilege should be included with hangar and ground lease agreements without an additional charge. The existing rates at CVH support this argument and would avoid resentment from users who feel they are being “nickeled-and-dimed” by the airport.

Recently, airports in Northern California have begun assessing fees for derelict aircraft parked in tie-down areas and non-operational aircraft stored in private or airport-owned hangars. The standard fees assessed are $1,500 annually for derelict aircraft and 1.75x the monthly storage fee for non-operational aircraft. The justification for this is that the FAA requires aeronautical facilities be used for aeronautical use and any non- aeronautical use, even if temporary, must be assessed fair market value rates. While there are often understandable reasons such as the loss of a medical or death of an owner, derelict/non-operational aircraft do not contribute to the financial self-sufficiency of the airport through fuel flowage and aircraft operations.

Airports are commonly collecting commercial permit fees for aeronautical service providers and non- aeronautical ground transportation companies, such as car rental and ride share providers. In addition, airports have also established hangar lease origination and transfer fees that allow airports to recover the cost of staff resources for processing these agreements. Other than non-aeronautical commercial permit fees, which are universally 10-12% of gross revenue, these fees have traditionally been fixed based on a cost allocation rates and estimated hours of effort. A few airports have established variable fees to collect a percentage of the transaction value when ownership of hangars on airport-owned land passes hands or to capture a percentage of gross receipts in exchange for the right to operate a for-profit business at the publicly funded facility. However, this subjects commercial operators and property developers to a significant financial burden and may discourage development and aeronautical operations at CVH.

8 CVH could add or change the following fees while remaining within the range of common market rates:

Figure 8. Other Airport Fees.

2.5 Landing Fees

Landing fees provide a relatively inelastic revenue source to cover shortfalls in funding from market-based rates discussed above. However, since Hollister Airport is characterized by a high proportion of local, based tenant users, landing fees on transient jet users could deter aeronautical growth from this segment.

Therefore, CVH currently charges a fixed, two-tier landing fee for CalFire only.

Most comparable airports in the Peer Set do not collect a landing fee. Those that do charge a fee to transient aircraft are commonly assessed as a fixed fee like CVH, a variable rate per 1,000 lbs. Maximum Take Off Weight (“MTOW”), or a hybrid of both. Four of the five airports with USFS/CalFire bases charge a fee of $1.00 – $2.00 / 1,000 lbs for commercial operators over 12,500 lbs. Some of these airports also charge non-commercial operators, commercial operators under 12,500 lbs, or have established a rate specific to government or state owned/contracted aircraft. Grant Assurance 27, Use by Government Aircraft, requires the Airport provide access to federal government aircraft at no charge, unless government aircraft use is substantial. Assessing fees specific to a class, category, or user while exempting others may be considered discriminatory, however, airports in the Peer Set and nationally have done so without issue.

9 3.0 Airport Operating and Capital Requirements

Expenses were forecasted by calculating the future value of the FY2025-26 expenses for the Airport operating fund at a 3% annual growth rate. Operating revenues were forecast based on growth in aircraft operations projected at 2.2% annually. The ACIP provides estimated costs and timing for implementation over the 5-year planning period. Capital project expenditures assume FAA Airport Improvement Program (“AIP”) federal grants fund approximately 90% and Caltrans state grants fund 5% of ACIP-eligible projects 1 (Figure 9).

Figure 9. Federal ACIP-eligible Projects.

The Airport Total and Net Requirement is calculated using the methodology as set forth in Table A.

EXPENSE CATEGORY LINE ITEM
Operations and Maintenance Expense A
Operations and Maintenance Reserve Charge B
Capital Improvement Plan Expenditures C
Capital Improvement Plan Reserve Charge D
AIRPORT TOTAL REQUIREMENT E = A + B + C + D
Less Credits to Airport Total Requirement F
AIRPORT NET REQUIREMENT G = E – F

Line Item A. Operation and Maintenance Expenditures. This line item is the Airport’s costs for the operation, maintenance, and repair of the Airport including salaries and employee benefits, utility costs, ordinary maintenance, direct and indirect administrative and general expenses listed in the annual operating budget of the Airport Revenue Fund for the rate setting period.

Line Item B. Operation and Maintenance Reserve. This line item is an amount equal to one fifth (1/5) of the annual budget for Operation and Maintenance Expenses for the rate setting period.

Line Item C. Capital Improvement Plan Expenditures. This line item includes the sponsor’s participation of federal, state, and locally funded capital projects and other capital expenditures attributable to the airport cost center.

Line Item D. Capital Improvement Plan Reserve Charge. This line item includes financing and contingencies that ensure airport self-sufficiency and a positive cash flow in future rate setting periods. The Capital Improvement Plan Reserve Charge is the Sponsor’s CIP Participation of Uncompleted Projects divided by the number of current and future rate setting periods in the CIP. The Sponsor’s CIP Participation of Uncompleted Projects means the total capital expense of uncompleted CIP projects less projected capital revenues from federal and state grant sources for future rate setting periods in the CIP.

1 The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 provides a 95% match in federal funds through FY 2026. State funding is assumed to be 5%, capped at $150,000 during this period. For FY2027-2031, the federal share is assumed to be 90%.

10 Line Item E. Airport Total Requirement. This line item is the sum of the following line items: Operation and Maintenance Expenditures, Operation and Maintenance Reserve Charge, Capital Improvement Plan Expenditures, and Capital Improvement Plan Reserve Charge.

Line Item F. Credits to Airport Total Requirement. This line item identifies the credits to the Airport Total Requirement which include other airport revenues and the prior period ending balance of the Airport Revenue Fund, if any. The Airport Revenue Fund is a reserve fund to facilitate financing and cover contingencies. Any surplus revenue from the airport cost center will be transferred to the Airport Revenue Fund at the end of the fiscal year.

Line Item G. Airport Net Requirement. This line item is the Airport Total Requirement less Credits to the Airport Total Requirement.

Based on the above methodology, the airport should establish a fee and rental structure sufficient to cover the Airport Net Requirement where the Airport Capital Improvement Fund is not negative or more than the Airport Sponsor’s Participation of Uncompleted Projects during the rate setting period. However, given the already high rates at CVH, achieving self-sufficiency is not simply a matter of raising existing rates, but requires aeronautical growth to be sustainable.

CVH is not a frequent destination for business aviation aircraft and there is limited on-airport land available to develop. Aeronautical growth is challenging in the traditional sense, but opportunities exist for revenue sources for through-the-fence development and emerging technology such as Advanced Air Mobility (“AAM”) and electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (“eVTOL”) operations. The Airport is seeking City support for these non-traditional aeronautical revenue sources to help fund capital and maintenance projects. Beginning in 2026, the airport is expecting additional revenue from various Airport Use Agreements of approximately $10,000. Additional ground lease revenue of approximately $120,000 from Wisk and a future Cal Fire New Air attack Base is anticipated in addition to potential development of hangars of various sizes in future years around 2030.

A sustainable airport is not only financially self-sufficient, but also capable of maintaining operational continuity through an adequately staffed and empowered workforce. The Airport has done commendable work to balance the FY2025-26 operating budget, but the planned ACIP will require approximately $1.6 M in additional funding through FY2027-28. Further, the current budget does not allow for operating contingencies or fund facility maintenance for upkeep of reverted hangars and buildings.

Municipal sponsors must also exercise caution when allocating indirect costs to the airport’s operating budget. The FAA allows sponsors to recover shared service expenses such as administrative, legal, IT, or finance functions, but only if they are equitably allocated, documented, and do not burden the airport with a disproportionate share. Enterprise funds are not required to be billed identically to other government departments, but the cost allocation must be justified and based on actual expenses. Sponsors have a responsibility to ensure airport budgets reflect reasonable, airport-related costs that do not divert aeronautical revenue out of the airport system. At the same time, aeronautical users have a responsibility to keep airport sponsors accountable through the municipality’s public budgetary process and not myopically focus on the fee schedule intended to offset budgets.

Without revenue growth and an asset maintenance plan, the Airport is in jeopardy of assets deteriorating to a point where revenue generating, City-owned hangars and buildings become unleasable. In the short- term, the City will need to financially support the airport through additional general fund loans for hangar maintenance projects so the airport can continue to generate revenue from these assets. With this bridge funding, the Airport projects to generate a surplus of approximately $345,000 in FY2031-32. However, this does not account for future ACIP projects, facility maintenance, and operational contingencies.

The City also should consider acquiring vacant and available land identified in the 2018 ALP for future aeronautical development further supporting self-sufficiency and community noise mitigation. An airport leasing policy and minimum standards for commercial service providers noted in AGP’s Memo on Policies and Procedures would help guide the future development of airport property for revenue generation.

11 4.0 Conclusion

Hollister Municipal Airport is entering a sustained, capital intensive period of facility redevelopment without a reserve to finance operational contingencies, facility maintenance, or capital construction projects.

Through FY2027-28, the ACIP calls for $19.9M in capital projects requiring $1.6M in Sponsor contributions.

The proposed Aeronautical Fee Schedule in Exhibit A is expected result in a deficit of approximately $520,000 during FY2022-28 but recover the reserve to a positive balance by 2031.

This analysis assumes the City will pursue several revenue generating development projects. Given the Airport’s lack of a capital reserve fund, the Airport may choose to seek debt financing, defer non-critical development projects, or conduct a Request for Proposal (RFP) for private development on airport-leased ground. An airport-funded development requires up-front investment but provides a higher return on investment over the lifespan of the project from hangar rental revenues. A private development requires minimal or no upfront airport-funded investment, dependent on the existing site conditions, but the airport only receives ground rent revenue. Reversionary ground leases are a common method to incentivize private development at a reduced ground rent that accelerates recovery of the private investment during the initial ground lease term while the airport collects hangar rent revenues from the reverted asset following lease expiration.

The City should also ensure that all similarly situated aeronautical users are equally assessed on the established fees so as to not discriminate against or exempt any user(s). It is recommended that the Airport establish a consistent methodology for nightly and monthly aircraft tie-down rates. Further, every Peer Set airport collecting a landing fee exempts certain aeronautical users. However, only two have established specific rates for USFS/CalFire operations that could potentially be considered in conflict with Grant Assurance 27.

The following options are suggested to meet capital development funding needs at CVH:

1. Finance critical ACIP infrastructure projects through a short-term loan to the Airport;

2. Seek development of private development projects where potential exists;

3. Support emerging technology (AAM/eVOTL) airport development, where permitted by FAA;

4. Increase the retail fuel flowage fee to Peer Set average ($0.10 / gallon) and establish self- fueling fuel flowage fee at $0.25 / gallon;

5. Adopt tie down rate methodology based on the single engine nightly rate Peer Set average and monthly rate at eight times the nightly rate. Adjust the multi engine nightly rate proportional to the single engine rate increase and establish taxi-in monthly tie-downs at 150% of the single engine tail-in rate. Include fees for glider trailers equal to the single engine tail-in and gliders equal to the single engine taxi-in rates;

6. Establish a fixed Hangar Ground Lease Origination / Transfer fee based on City cost allocation rates and effort;

7. Adopt derelict / non-operational aircraft storage fees found at comparable Peer Set airports;

8. Review landing fee exemptions;

9. Incorporate proposed airport fees into the City’s Consolidated Fee Schedule; and

10. Annually review rates for market comparability to determine any adjustment on the City’s Consolidated Fee Schedule.

Airport staff will bring forth proposed fee changes in the regular fee schedule process. A proposed aeronautical fee schedule is provided in Exhibit A.
