3. HISTORY OF ROLLA NATIONAL AIRPORT 1958: The United States conveyed to the City of Rolla by deed dated October 6, 1958, the land known as the Rolla National Airport. The tract of land containing 1204.74 acres with 165.29 acres of easement, was developed by the United States for wartime purposes. It was conveyed to the city under provision of the Surplus Property Act of 1944. The City of Rolla is required to maintain all public airport improvements. The FAA also prohibits any airport that receives federal or state grants from deriving any profits from the airport operation. Revenues generated by the Airport are not to go into the City's General Revenue Fund.

4. 1994: The FAA Authorization Act of 1994 gave the Secretary of Transportation authority to grant waivers to the terms of the sale of the airport. If the City conveys any interest in the property, the City will receive an amount for such interest which is equal to the fair market value. Any such amount so received shall be used by the City for development, improvement, operations, or maintenance of the airport. The Rolla National Airport has two 5500' x 100' runways, and is located in Maries County approximately 14 miles north of downtown Rolla.

16. PILOT/CORPORATE SURVEY Rolla National Airport

17. During December - January, 2001 surveys were mailed to a total of 120 registered pilots in the south central region of the MO Pilot's Association to gain a letter understanding of the needs and preferences of area pilots. 73 responses were submitted. Similarly, a questionnaire was delivered to corporate/industrial users resulting in 23 responses. Based on pilot data the cessna and piper were the predominate single engine airplane used at the Airport. 23 pilots identified RNA or Rolla Downtown as their base facility. When asked about fuel purchases from RNA 60% of the respondents indicated they purchased fuel from RNA in 2001 with 85% of those respondents being somewhat or very satisfied with the quality of fuel and service. Six respondents were dissatisfied with the price of fuel. 95% of the respondents indicated they estimate increasing their flying time in 2002.

18. The "Industrial Employer Questionnaire" was mailed or delivered to any known corporate customer in 2001. A total of 23 surveys were returned with half of those respondents indicating they rely on RNA to transport at least some goods or services with 6 corporate users indicating the Airport is essential to their economic vitality. Sixteen respondents indicated their company/business owns an airplane for business-related travel. Cessna was again the airplane of choice but 7 planes are turbo-props and 2 are turbo-jet. When asked for suggested improvements at the Airport three businesses suggested precision approaches and two businesses (plus 3 local pilots) expressed interest in additional hangar space. Eighteen businesses purchased fuel from RNA in 2001 with all respondents being very satisfied with the quality of fuel and service. Finally, when asked if a planned industrial park were developed at RNA three companies expressed an interest in locating there.
