Summary This Order will authorize the carry forward of $35,000 of FY 2017 Airport funds for the airline incentive program. If approved, these funds will be used, along with the FY 2018 funds, to provide advertising and marketing assistance for the expanded United Airlines service to Newark. In 2011, the City Council adopted and implemented the proposed air service incentive program, whereby the airport is able to provide financial and marketing incentives to air carriers that are considering expanding air service to the region. This policy is in compliance with FAA guidelines. The announcement of this expanded service was at the end of FY 2017, which did not allow the airport to utilize these funds, therefore staff is recommending that these funds be carried forward to FY 2018. This item was reviewed and recommended for approval at the November 14, 2017 meeting of the Infrastructure Committee. Committee Action Committee: Airport Committee Meeting Date: 11/14/2017 Action: Recommend for passage For: 5 Against: 0 Staff Comments & Approvals Staff recommends approval. d fYl('h-0 " ) - r7110 City Manager ity Solicitor Introduced for: Consent Finance Director CITY OF BANGOR ORDER Date: 11/27/2017 Item No: 18-022 Assigned to Councilor: Davitt 11/27/2017 18-022 Authorizing carry forward funding in the amount of $35,000 from the FY 2017 Airport budget.
