For the January 2016 to January 2017 period, the flight completion rate is 94% (734 scheduled/42 cancelled). 2. Air Service & Charter Programs A. SkyWest Muskegon Station Named 2017 Tier 4 Station of the Year. The Muskegon SkyWest Airlines station has been named the United Airlines U.S. Domestic – Tier 4 Quality First Award winner for 2017. The Muskegon station won the 2017 1st Quarter award and has been ranked as one of the Tier 4’s top-5 stations (serving less than 40,860 customers annually) the remaining three quarters. This award is a reflection on the level of professionalism and dedication to customer service by the SkyWest staff. B. Airline Service Schedule. The new daily flight schedule commenced February 15 with a new morning flight departure time of 10:16 AM and an evening departure of 5:59 PM. The additional second Saturday flight started on February 17. C. United Air Fare Special to Chicago. For a limited time through April 11, 2018, customers can save with discounted rates for one-way travel to/from Muskegon to Chicago O’Hare on United Airlines. Travel must be completed by June 6, 2018. We also want to thank the marketing staff at SkyWest Airlines for their help in creating the digital ads for use on the airport webpage, Twitter, and Facebook accounts. D. Casino Flights. Laughlin, NV - Sun Country Airlines. Next trip March 15-18 (Sold Out). Atlantic City – S & S Casino Tours. Next trip May 13-16 $279 per person. This time, the flight will only operate from Muskegon rather than stop at other airports as the first flight in December did. We will continue to push for additional charter flights on a more frequent basis. E. Charter Marketing & Outreach Program. Staff continues outreach efforts to other leisure charter companies to try and add vacation destination charters or alternate casino destinations. Page | 1 3. Airport Capital Improvement Program / Grant Program A. Runway 6/24 Rehabilitation (Design Phase). Staff met with the C&S Engineers, MDOT Aeronautics, and FAA staff on March 1 to finalize the project plans and have everything ready to advertise for bids subject to notice of receipt of federal funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation. B. Terminal Security Checkpoint and Baggage Screening improvements. Staff is soliciting proposals from contractors to complete the work. C. Air Service Marketing Grant. The Airport submitted our annual request to MDOT for the maximum allowable $10,000 grant to assist with air service marketing efforts. We are awaiting final notice of award. D. Capital Improvement & Equipment Grant. The Airport submitted our annual request to MDOT for the maximum allowable $10,000 grant to assist with additional terminal facility upgrades. Receipt of this grant is subject to availability of funds from MDOT. We are awaiting final notice of award. 4. Economic Development A. Airport Restaurant. Staff is continuing to work with an experienced food & beverage operator to start operations in the terminal. The principles are currently doing their due diligence and are working to complete their business plan. Staff is cautiously optimistic this will ultimately come to fruition and continue to work with the principles to make this a reality. B. Solar Development. The Airport has been contacted about the possibility of leasing approximately 7.5 acres of land contained in the runway protection zone for Runway 32. This land is located on the south side of Grand Haven Road and a solar facility is a compatible use. This potential project is only at the initial exploratory stage. C. Michigan Aerospace Industry Luncheon. The Airport Manager and the County Economic Development Coordinator attended this luncheon on February 28. The purpose of this luncheon is to meet and discover opportunities in Michigan for aviation/aerospace businesses to expand their business in the growing aerospace industry. Members from the Aerospace Industry Association of Michigan (AIAM) Board of Directors and subject matter experts were on hand to discuss industry trends and how Michigan's innovative companies can support the supply chain. 5. Airport Public Relations, Marketing & Advertising A. No update. 6. Airport Administration, Operations, and Maintenance Programs A. Airport Triennial Emergency Plan Exercise. The Airport is required to conduct a full-scale emergency plan exercise once every three years. The airport is planning for the next drill in September 2018. We are working with various County-wide resources to plan and conduct the drill. B. Use of Firefighting Foam at Muskegon County Airport. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is reaching out to airports that have historically used firefighting foam as part of routine fire protection and safety practices. Certain types of firefighting foam (e.g. aqueous film forming foam or “AFFF”) contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and, more specifically the hazardous substances perflurooctanic acid (PFOA) or perflurooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). Page | 2 As of January 10, 2018, groundwater criteria for drinking water protection for PFOA and PFOS were established by DEQ under the authority of Part 201, Environmental Remediation, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (NREPA). DEQ has requested the airport provide information relating to the historical use of PFAS-containing substances at the Airport. If the information provided to DEQ indicates the likely release of PFOA or PFOS to the environment at levels above the established Part 201 criteria (70 parts per trillion), the DEQ will request a work plan be submitted describing proposed actions to define the nature and extent of PFOA/PFOS and to conduct response activities as necessary to protect public health and the environment. C. FAA Navigational Procedure Update. Between December 23, 2016 and January 16, 2017, SkyWest was forced to cancel 16 roundtrip flights due to issues relating to navigational aids (NAVAIDS) and lack of secondary navigation equipment carried on SkyWest aircraft. The ground-based navigation system (VOR - VHF omnidirectional radio range) is a type of short-range radio navigation system for aircraft to determine their position and stay on course by receiving radio signals transmitted by a network of fixed ground radio beacons. Muskegon’s two VOR’s, which are owned and operated by FAA, are scheduled to be removed from service in the near future (by 2025). SkyWest Airlines is mandated by Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 121.349 which requires navigational redundancy of the flight management system (FMS) capabilities, which the CRJ-200 aircraft currently used do not have. The requirement for a back-up FMS is that, in the event of failure of the primary FMS, pilots are able to revert to ground-based navigation (VOR’s).

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The Village of Lakeview is a semi-rural community nestled adjacent to Tamarack Lake located in the center of Cato Township in the northwest portion of Montcalm County. The community of Lakeview has maintained a “business as usual” function over the past years and has witnessed very little growth in population and economic development. In light of this lack of growth, eager and energetic Village policymakers felt it was time to take a serious look at the future of Lakeview as a community. In the summer of 1993, Village officials initiated the process to create a Village Master Plan and rewrite its zoning ordinance, establishing a foundation for increasing the community’s economic stability and quality of life. The Village of Lakeview Master Plan is the result of data collection and analysis, field surveys, many meetings and discussions by the Village Planning Commission and Village administration, and citizen input at Planning Commission meetings. During the process, a number of issues were explored pertaining to local development and land use, infrastructure improvement needs and funding, and many other local issues. This effort has results in a set of goals and objectives, policies and recommendations, and resource maps, which are intended as a policy guide for future development in the Village of Lakeview over the next 5 to 10 years. Planning Overview The Municipal Planning Act, Public Act 285 of 1931, as amended, specifically gives Village Planning Commissions the authority to prepare and officially adopt a Master Plan. Although the plan is enabled by Michigan Law, it does not have the force of law or ordinance.
