BRIEFING ITEM                            Date of Meeting       June 26, 2018 
DATE:     June 18, 2018 
TO:        Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director

Borgan Anderson, Director, Aviation Finance & Budget 
SUBJECT:  Aviation 2019 Business Plan and Budget Development 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
The purpose of this briefing is to provide the Commission an overview of the Aviation Division's
contribution to the Port's Long Range Plan update and a preview of the 2019 budget. The
Century Agenda and the Long Range Plan continue to guide the Aviation priorities. Continuing
growth at the airport will drive resource requests for 2019 to improve customer service,
maintain facilities, and plan for future facility needs. 
As discussed at the May 7, 2018, briefing on the airport financial forecast, while the airport is
well  positioned  to  afford  the  significant  capital  investments  over  the  next  ten  years,
undertaking the implementation of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) projects will
drive up airport costs to airlines and Port debt levels.  To make sure the Port can afford the
investments needed to meet the air transportation needs of the region, the airport will need to
focus on increasing non-aeronautical revenues.
Consistent with the staffing needs study completed in 2017, and driven by increasing passenger
growth in 2018 (5%) and anticipated growth for 2019 (3%), the Aviation Division anticipates
requesting up to 45 new full-time equivalent (FTE) staff, primarily to support Operations,
Maintenance, Customer Service and Security/Fire. 
The briefing will highlight 2019 priorities, objectives and strategies.
