Report
Summary
The Joint Use Agreement allows the ANG use of PHX facilities that are open to the public, which includes, but is not limited to: runways, taxiways, lighting systems, navigational aids, markings, and appurtenances. The Aviation Department (AVN) is responsible for maintaining all public facilities at PHX. The ANG will be responsible for any damages to public facilities at PHX, if such damage is caused solely by the ANG. The current Joint Use Agreement with ANG will expire on Sept. 30, 2019.
Contract Term
The term will be five years with no options to extend.
Financial Impact
ANG’s proportionate share of operating and maintaining the jointly used facilities will be between $10,000 and $15,000 per year. The proportionate share is determined by calculating a number of factors such as: base year actual costs, increase for inflation, the number of military landings (local and civil operations), and ANG’s annual share of costs. Currently, the annual payment required equals $10,525.
