PURPOSE These regulations prescribe minimum standards for the conduct of commercial aeronautical activities, defined in Section II (6) below, at the Iowa City Municipal Airport, permitting the conduct of such activities. B. INTRODUCTION Prudent and proper administration requires that standards be adopted to establish the minimum acceptable qualifications of participants, level and quality of service, and other conditions which will be required of those proposing to conduct commercial aeronautical activities at the Airport. The requirement to impose standards on those proposing to conduct commercial aeronautical activities on a public airport relates to the public interest and provides protection from irresponsible, unsafe or inadequate service. The adoption and enforcement of such standards ensures that the entity is reasonably fit, willing and able to discharge both its service obligations to its patrons and its financial obligations to the Airport community and thereby protects established commercial enterprises, the aviation user, and the public. The standards established for any particular commercial aeronautical activity must be relevant to that activity, must be reasonable in scope and must be applied objectively and uniformly. Standards, thus established and applied, promote financial stability by discouraging unqualified applicants and foster the level of services desired by the public. C.
