Pitkin County("County") owns, operates and sponsors the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport("Airport"). 2. The County has authority to set, charge, collect and enforce rents, fees and charges for the occupancy and use of the Airport, pursuant to, inter alia, Sections 41-4-101 et seq., 30-11-107, 30-15-401 and 30-35-201 and 202, 1973 C.R.S., as amended, the Pitkin County Home Rule Charter, as amended, and the Pitkin County Code, Title IV, Airport Regulations, as amended. 3. The Airport financial and rate-setting policies are set out in Resolution#87-56A 4. Historically, the County entered into long-term contracts with airlines and set fees on a"residual"basis under which airline fees were subsidized from other airport revenues. 5. The County now contracts with airlines on a year-to-year basis and sets fees on a"compensatory"basis under which airline and general aviation fees are set to more fully cover the cost of their use of airport facilities. 6. The Airline-related Policies, Procedures and Standards, adopted by Resolution #001-2001, provide that in December of each year, the County will adopt its budget after affording the opportunity for airline input, and will set airline rates and charges effective January 1 of the following year. 7. The airlines and general aviation have been given the opportunity to comment on the proposed rent and landing fees for 2003 and the Airport's budget and updated capital improvement plan. The 2003 budget for the Airport was reviewed in public session, first reading was held thereon on December 4, 2002, and a public hearing was held thereon on December 18, 2002. 8. The County has compared its proposed airport fees and charges to those of other comparable airports and determined that its proposed fees and charges are not excessive. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin County, Colorado that: 1. The terminal rent for exclusive and preferential space for Signatory, Pre-signatory, and Multi-Seasonal Airlines for 2003 shall be $35.71 per square foot for indoor space and $11.90 per square foot for outside covered space.

Seasonal and Multi-seasonal Airlines shall pay shared-space rent according to the same allocation formula as shown in Exhibit "A" except that they shall pay a "per-turn" fee of$100 per aircraft departure if such fee is less than the 20% of shared space rent to be split equally between the airlines monthly. Such Seasonal and Multi- r seasonal Airline"per-turn" fees shall be deducted from the 20% shared space monthly rent before splitting this rent equally between the other airlines. 2.
