RECOMMENDED MOTION:
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Update on Washington Goes Purple 2023 events
DISCUSSION: Washington Goes Purple is a community initiative with the goal of educating our youth
and community about the dangers of prescription pill misuse, drugs and alcohol, while eliminating
stigma and creating an environment that people feel comfortable seeking help and recovery. We are now
going into our 6th year and have celebrated many accomplishments, including almost $40,000 in
scholarships to Washington County seniors.
This year, our kick-off event will be held on September 1st at 6 pm in City Park. Along with this event,
we will be having a Recovery Walk on Saturday, September 23rd. Each event will feature speakers both
national and local. In partnership with the Washington County Free Library and the Washington County
Board of Education we would like to have Stephen Hill, a nationally known recovery speaker. Stephen
is also the creator of “Surviving the Hill” a documentary that was filmed last year in Washington County
during recovery month. Williamsport High School has agreed to hold an assembly for the student and
parents on the evening of September 19th. The Washington County Free Library will be holding public
forum and viewing of the film on September 20th. Stephen will be present to have a Q&A after the film.
The cost to hold this single event would be roughly $7500. Would the Washington County Board of
Commissioners be willing to cover part of the cost of this community event as the lead and only sponsor?
We appreciate your continued support and partnership, as we know the opioid and mental health crisis
has had a negative impact on our world. We will continue to fight for our community and hope that you
will help us reach more of the business community as well.

Re: Renewal and Price Increase for Contract No: PUR‐1569
Dear Procurement,
Due to increased costs from our suppliers and changes to market conditions affecting labor,
utility, and shipping costs, Galls is requesting a price increase of 9.9% on the affected goods
and services provided by Galls on the Contract Name: Washington County – Sheriff’s
Office Uniforms – Bid PUR‐1569. In addition to the Contract items all other goods
purchased by the Agency will be increased at a rate of 9.9%.
As evidence of the above and for your records, please find enclosed documentation
supporting this request. Also enclosed are updated price schedules for all Contract items
and all other items.
This request is in accordance with the Contract and if approved will take effect on the
renewal date or earliest effective date per the contract terms. If you have any questions,
please contact Yves Murhula at murhula-yves@galls.com address or 859-800-1054.
We appreciate your attention to this important matter.

Pricelist
Dear Valued Partner:
This historic inflationary environment continues to put significant financial pressure on
American businesses. Despite Galls’ best efforts to absorb cost increases by renegotiating
with our vendors and making our operations more efficient, like so many American
businesses, we must pass on some of these costs to our customers.
I know that’s not the message you wanted to hear, and I feel it’s essential our customers
understand where Galls is feeling the most pressure.
Supplier Increases
The number and size of price increases being passed to Galls from our suppliers are
unprecedented. Manufacturers of everything from uniforms to tactical pants to boots to
duty belts are all passing on up to double-digit increases.
Transportation
The pandemic continues to drive a surge in transportation costs. For Galls, our FedEx,
UPS, and the US Postal Service shipping costs are up 8% in 2022 and FedEx just
announced a general rate increase on 1/3/23. Ocean freight, leveraged by Galls and many
of our suppliers, is up 1000% or more annually. Truck Freight, how we get products to
our branches and distribution center from ports and suppliers, has increased a minimum
of 9.1% to as high as 28.5% in 2022.
Labor Expense
I am passionate about hiring, retaining, and developing the best talent to serve you, our
front-line, military, and public safety heroes. But unfortunately, a lack of applicants,
federal wage law changes, increases in insurance costs, and a competitive wage
environment have driven our wages by over 50 percent in the last six months.
Thank you for your business, continued partnership, and understanding of the
inflationary pressures affecting us all.
Mike Fadden, CEO
November 23, 2022
RE: Galls Price Increase
Dear Valued Partner,
As you have seen in a recent letter from our CEO Mike Fadden, we’re in an unprecedented
inflationary environment that we do not expect to see abating anytime soon.
As a result, in addition to our supplier increases on products that we provide to you, we’re asking
for an increase totaling 10% increase on your pricing. This is driven by two major factors, our
freight costs which have risen over 8% since 2021 and our labor costs which have risen over
50% to allow us to keep pace with the job market.
While Galls is not immune to the outside effects of the current inflationary environment, we’re
working closely with our supplier partners to increase our inventory and improve service across
our network.
We appreciate your support and partnership as we work together to provide great service to your
end users.
Thank You,
Jim Dugan, CRO

To Whom It May Concern:
Over the last 18 months, Galls LLC has seen unprecedented increases in both our labor
rates, as well as the material required to produce the orders placed by you, our valued
customer. Overall, the increases we’ve seen is approximately 9.5%.
In order to maintain our operating cost, we must pass the increases on an partner with you
to maintain the health and well-being of our organization and the service to our
customers.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

SUBJECT: Sole Source Contract Award (PUR-1640) – ASTRO 25 Phase II Enhancement and Upgrades
of the Emergency and Local Government Radio Communications
PRESENTATION DATE: September 19, 2023
PRESENTATION BY: Rick F. Curry, CPPO, Director of Purchasing; Tom Weber, Deputy Director of
Wireless Communications
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to authorize Wireless Communications to enter into a Sole Source
contract for the ASTRO 25 Phase II Enhancement and Upgrades of the Emergency and Local Government
Radio Communications from Motorola Solutions, Inc. of Linthicum, MD for the total sum in the amount
of $13,592,402 based on its proposal.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Washington County’s radio communications system is built around technology
that is about twenty years old. Despite extraordinary efforts put forth by our Wireless Communications
Department to keep this system afloat; replacement components and parts are nearly extinct for the
outdated technology. In addition, these systemic problems are significantly impacting the operating
efficiencies of our public safety agencies and ability to carry out their missions. In addition to core
maintenance and operating issues, Fire/EMS user radios have been manufacturer unsupported for several
years. Although this presentation will not allow sufficient time to discuss all the relevant issues and their
complexities. With approval from this Board on November 1, 2022, the Wireless Communications
Deputy Director completed phase I (microwave and backhaul upgrade) for this project.
DISCUSSION: Wireless Communications wishes to apply Section 1-106.2(a)(1) of the Code of Local
Public Laws of Washington County, Maryland, to the procurement requested. This section states that sole
source procurements are authorized and permissible when: (1) Only one source exists that meets the
County’s requirements and (2) The compatibility of equipment, accessories, or replacement parts is the paramount
consideration.
This request requires the approval of four (4) of the five (5) Commissioners in order to proceed with a
sole source procurement. If approved, the following remaining steps of the process will occur as outlined
by the law: 1) Not more than ten (10) days after the execution and approval of a contract under this section,
the procurement agency shall publish notice of the award in a newspaper of general circulation in the
County, and 2) An appropriate record of the sole source procurement shall be maintained as required.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available in the department’s CIP (Capital Improvement Plan) account
COM030 and EQP069.

Airport Strategic Plan Workshop – Business Strategies
Purpose
The Airport operation is largely a self-supporting enterprise fund where the revenue collected
covers the operating expenses.
Workshop discussion about the Business Planning Strategies portion of the Strategic Plan for
the Airport.
Overview
Outcome
Identify strategies that will support sustained Washington County business and economic growth,
services to Washington County citizens, and provide the revenue for the required supporting Airport
infrastructure and services.
Business Planning Strategies
Support Economic Development and Operational Costs
Areas Covered
•Business and Hangar development economics
•Investigating non-aviation property development
•Air Cargo
•Air Service Development
Business Planning Strategies
Hangar and Business Development Economics
Facility rate comparison with airports in a 60 mile radius
•11 Airports - HGR is the only commercial service airport.
•2nd longest runway, 2nd in total area, 3rd in total based aircraft
•Tie-downs, T-hangars, Conventional Hangars, Fuel and Landing Fees
•HGR Rates are competitive considering HGR offers superior services
•General Aviation Rates for tie-down and T-hangers are more regionally influenced by price
•Conventional Hangar rates are more influenced by level of service and proximity to urban and affluent
markets. Rates at well-maintained facilities and strategically advantageous locations can charge higher
rates ranging from $10-$14/sf versus $1.80 - $7.17.
Summary, HGR is competitively well-positioned within the regional market to serve
the general aviation community.
Business Planning Strategies
Hangar and Business Development Economics
Hangar and Aviation Service Growth
•In the most recent 2018 study, the Airport directly and indirectly supported
1,763 jobs, $307 million in economic activity, and $21 million in state and local
taxes.
•The land lease rent paid from T-hangar and corporate hangars account
for over 50% of the Airport's operating revenue.
•Aviation Property Development Model – The Airport may not sell land and
prospective development must be aviation service related. New private
development occurs under land lease arrangements with fixed term lengths
after which building ownership reverts to the Airport where it may lease the
building/hangar at market rates.
SSource: Washington County FY24 Budget Guide
Business Planning Strategies
Hangar and Business Development Economics
Hangar and Aviation Service Growth
•The Airport has a mix of County owned and privately owned/managed hangars. Hangar development may occur by
the County or private development, however, private industry often can deliver projects quicker.
•The Airport can assist with encouraging business development by having sites available for pad-ready development
(taxiway access, grading, and utilities). These expenses are not FAA grant eligible. Site costs are either a cost barrier
to private development or have been applied as a site development credit to the developer which significantly delays
when the Airport starts receiving lease income. The Airport should take advantage of state and federal economic
development grant opportunities to prepare sites.
•The economics of new T-Hangar development is not viable. HGR's competitive advantage is its superior services
available to businesses and lower hangar and operational costs compared to other regional commercial
service airports.
Business Planning Strategies
Non-Aviation Property Development
Developing Retail, Hospitality or Entertainment Venues
These amenities attract passengers and visitors to the airport.
•Two restaurants on or near the airfield, adjacent airfield museum,
hotel 1 mile away.
•Concession fee opportunities – i.e. rental car, food and beverage
services, gift shop or travel services. Current seasonal and
infrequent flight schedules limit supporting these daily services.
Land Leasing
•Former Grove Farm & Southeast Corner near Basore
•Solar Farm or commercial use
Business Planning Strategies
Air Cargo
•T
•Proximity to population centers and manufacturing is a future opportunity for high value and specialty air cargo
delivery as industries evolve.
Business Planning Strategies
Air Service Development – Why is it Important?
•C
•Is an amenity for Washington County residents as well as opportunity for local tourism.
•Commercial air service requires keeping costs to the carrier low to remain competitive, but incur expenses
related to TSA, ARFF, law enforcement officer coverage, ground handling staffing, and meeting a higher level of
airfield compliance standards. These costs are mostly covered by other Airport revenue streams, which is a
limiting financial model for supporting the service.
•Maintaining commercial air service requires exceeding the carrier's revenue metrics (Revenue per Available Seat
Mile and Revenue per Block Hour flown), providing excellent value and service, and complying with carrier
standards and recommendations.
Business Planning Strategies
Air Service Development Competition
•D
•Fewer flights are being flown, planes are becoming
larger with more seats, regional markets are being cut,
and those flights and seats are being consolidated
in larger urban markets. Expect trend to continue with
pilot shortages, strong demand, and future net zero
greenhouse aviation emission standards.
•In Allegiant Airlines' most recently reported quarter on a year-to-year comparison they flew 1.4% more
available seat miles, but were rewarded with a 10.3% increase in passengers. Important to keep in
perspective that while HGR is setting records so are most places at the same or greater rate.
Business Planning Strategies
Air Service Development Competition
•H
•HGR does not want to remain stagnant unable to accommodate
additional growth or implement an airline's recommended
strategies to where their growth opportunity and service is
shifted elsewhere.
•Having an on-call Air Service Development consultant versus
seeking fees for individual services to assist with client meetings
and collecting industry data, such as performance
reports, leakage studies,targeted marketing data metrics is
recommended. Currently, HGR internally does not have access
to this level of expertise and information and is at a
disadvantage.

Business Planning Strategies
Help Airline Services have the tools to maintain the service
and/or grow to be self-sustaining
It's ok to take small, reasonable steps to monetize our airline terminal operations.
•G
•Passengers = additional revenue for the airport to pay for supporting services.
•Presently the Airport has no significant way to convert passengers to revenue.
•We need to have the same financial tools in our toolbox as nearly all other airports of our size have
already implemented. Principally, this would be parking fees and passenger facility charges or PFCs.
Business Planning Strategies
Help Airline Services have the tools to maintain the service
and/or grow to be self-sustaining
•O
•Parking revenue could support expanded marketing and air service development efforts to maintain the existing
service, pursue and fund additional airline service, terminal maintenance, security, compliance and firefighting
related expenses.
•PFC revenue can be used as capital grant matching funds or to pay for non-eligible FAA capital expenses.
•Allegiant prefers airports implement paid parking over PFCs as the PFC of $4.50 is assigned to the ticket price.
•If our airline support-related services can become more self-sustaining, we won't then need to take as
many resources from other parts of the airport budget to cover these expenses, which is also a limiting factor for
nn ew air service growth.

3. Regional Market Rates Study
A survey of airports within the region was conducted to determine Hagerstown Regional Airport’s
competitive position regarding revenue producing activities for GA activity. The regional area was
assumed to extend to a loosely interpreted 60-mile radius around HGR. The following airports are
those identified and examined for this analysis.
• Area Airports with Runway Lengths 5,000 Feet and Above:
Hagerstown Regional – HGR – 7,000 x 150 – Hagerstown, MD
Eastern West Virginia Regional – MRB – 8,815 x 150 – Martinsburg, WV
Frederick Municipal – FDK - 5,819 x 100 – Frederick, MD
Carroll County Regional – DMW - 5,100 x 100 – Westminster, MD
Greater Cumberland Regional – CBE – 5,047 x 150 – Cumberland, MD
Winchester Regional Airport – OKV – 5,498 x 100 – Winchester, VA
Leesburg Executive Airport – JYO - 5,500 x 100 – Leesburg, VA
Capital City Airport – CXY – 5,000 x 150 – Harrisburg, PA
• Area Airports with Runway Lengths Below 5,000 Feet:
Franklin County Regional – N68 – 3,300 x 75 – Chambersburg, PA
Gettysburg Regional - W05 – 3,100 x 60 – Gettysburg, PA
Montgomery County Airpark – GAI – 4,202 x 75 – Gaithersburg, MD
For the general aviation demand the service area will ultimately be a 30-minute drive time but the
pricing will incorporate peer airports such as: Frederick, Martinsburg, Gaithersburg, Leesburg,
Winchester, Carroll County, Cumberland, etc. We attempted to include information on Potomac
Airpark and contacted them three times by telephone only to leave a voice message each time.
As a privately owned airport, we are dependent upon input from W35 management to accurately
include hangar rates and fees, which at the time of this writing are not available.

Hagerstown Regional Airport
Strategic Plan June 2023
R.A. Wiedemann & Associates, Inc. 10
Only three airports in the general aviation service area impose landing fees – Hagerstown
Regional, Capital City Airport, and Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport. HGR’s landing fees are
based on a sliding scale as follows (Rates have been adopted effective 7/1/2023):
HGR Landing Fees:
Class MGTOW Rate
1 6,500 - 10,999 lbs. $15.00
2 11,000 - 15,999 lbs. $30.00
3 16,000 - 33,999 lbs. $50.00
4 34,000 - 65,000 lbs. $100.00
5 66,000 - 99,999 lbs. $150.00
6 100,000 - up $200.00
Capital City Airport has a simple system with flat rates for two classes of aircraft above 5,000
pounds: $13 for 5,001 – 8,000 lbs., and $15 for 8,001 to 12,499 lbs. Any aircraft 12,500 pounds and
over are charged $3.51 per 1,000 pounds.
Eastern WV Regional Airport has a rate formula of $2 per 1,000 pounds for aircraft below 100,000
MTOW, and $2.50 per 1,000 pounds for all aircraft above 100,000 MTOW. This airport also has a
ramp fee that can be waived with a purchase of fuel. The ramp rate for small jets is $280 with the
highest rate being double that - $560.
In summary, only three airports in the general aviation service area impose landing fees –
Hagerstown Regional (HGR), Capital City Airport, and Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport.
HGR's landing fees are based on a sliding scale with fees ranging from $15 to $200 depending on
the aircraft's MGTOW. Capital City Airport has a two-tiered flat rate system for aircraft weighing
above 5,000 lbs: $13 for 5,001 - 8,000 lbs., and $15 for 8,001 to 12,499 lbs. For aircraft weighing
12,500 lbs. and over, they charge $3.51 per 1,000 lbs. Eastern WV Regional Airport has a simple
rate formula of $2 per 1,000 lbs., with ramp fees waived upon fuel purchase.
Comparing the landing fees, HGR tends to have higher fees for smaller aircraft but becomes more
competitive for larger aircraft, eventually charging less than Eastern WV Regional for very large
aircraft. Capital City Airport's fees are competitive for smaller aircraft but become more expensive
for larger aircraft over 12,500 lbs. With slightly higher fuel prices, customers may perceive the
higher levels of service, safety, and security at HGR worth the difference, influencing HGR’s
strategic planning, business development, and marketing efforts moving forward.

3.2 Summary and Conclusions
The market analysis conducted for Hagerstown Regional Airport (HGR) focused on understanding
the competitive landscape within a loosely defined 60-mile radius around the airport. A total of
eleven airports, varying in size and services offered, were included in the analysis. Key findings
from this review can be summarized as follows:
1. Facilities: HGR is a publicly owned airport, with a total of 153 based aircraft, including 7
jets, 18 multi-engine, 126 single-engine, 3 helicopter, and 1 other. It has a 7,000 x 150 ft
runway, ILS Navaids, and a control tower. HGR has the second longest runway and the
second most total acres of airport property among the 11 airports included. It is the third
in total based aircraft, with a diverse range of aircraft types. This positions HGR as the only
commercial service airport among this list and also as one of the stronger general aviation
airports in the region.
2. Services: In terms of services offered, HGR provides major frame and power repairs, flight
instruction, charter service, avionics, as well as air freight, air ambulance, cargo handling,
HGR offers the most airport services compared to its regional competitors. This does not
necessarily indicate that airports with fewer services are at a disadvantage; it could be that
they have opted to focus on providing one or two services extremely well. However, this
wide range of services sets HGR apart from many of its regional competitors, especially
smaller airports with limited offerings.
3. Tie-Down Rates: A comparison of tie-down rates and charges revealed that HGR's fees
for single engine piston aircraft ($95/month) and twin-engine piston aircraft ($141/month)
are more competitive compared to other airports in the region. Frederick Municipal
($123/month) and Montgomery County Airpark ($131-$162/month) have higher rates. The
lowest tie-down fees are at Greater Cumberland Regional Airport ($30 per month).
4. T-Hangar Rates: Regarding T-hangar costs, HGR offers various options, ranging from
$169 to $1,062 per month. These rates include hangars with attached offices that are not
available at many of the other airports in the service area. When compared to other
airports in the region, HGR's T-hangar rates fall within a competitive range. For example,
Eastern West Virginia Regional's T-hangar rates range from $160 to $460 per month, while
Frederick Municipal's range between $231 and $278 per month. Leesburg Executive
Airport has a higher rate at $600 per month, whereas Greater Cumberland Regional and
Franklin County Regional offer more affordable options at $150-$180 and $150 per month,
respectively.
5. Conventional Hangar Rates: The analysis of conventional hangar rates across the service
area reveals notable variation among the airports. Airports in the high-cost cluster, such
as Hagerstown Regional Airport, Frederick Municipal, and Winchester Regional Airport,
tend to charge higher rates, ranging from $10 to $14 per square foot. These airports often
provide a diverse range of services, well-maintained facilities, and strategically
advantageous locations to justify their premium pricing. On the other hand, airports
situated within the lower end of the price range, such as Eastern West Virginia Regional,
Greater Cumberland Regional, and Franklin County Regional, charge significantly lower
rates for conventional hangar space, ranging from $1.80 to $7.17 per square foot. While it
Hagerstown Regional Airport
Strategic Plan June 2023
R.A. Wiedemann & Associates, Inc. 12
is anticipated that these rates will increase in the near term, it is evident that these airports
must prioritize affordability to entice cost-conscious customers and attract tenants away
from their higher priced but more favorably located counterparts.
6. Fuel Prices: Fuel prices at HGR are slightly higher than some of its regional counterparts.
As of April 20, 2023, the privately-owned Rider Jet Center FBO charges $6.75/gallon for
100 LL self-service fuel, $7.50/gallon for 100 LL full-service fuel, and $7.15/gallon for Jet A
full-service fuel. HGR has the third highest price for self-serve LL Avgas among six airports,
and it is one of three airports with the highest price for full-serve LL Avgas among nine
airports. For full-serve Jet A, HGR has the fourth highest price among nine airports. While
the fuel prices are not the lowest in the region, they are not significantly higher than those
at competing airports while allowing the HGR FBO to collect a fixed margin on their fuel
sales.
7. Landing Fees: HGR's landing fees tend to be higher for smaller aircraft, but become more
competitive as the aircraft size increases, eventually becoming lower for very large aircraft
compared to Capital City Regional Airport and Eastern WV Regional Airport. Additionally,
Eastern WV Regional imposes ramp fees that can be waived with fuel purchase, which is
an additional cost factor to consider when comparing both airports. The Rider Jet Center
does the same thing for GA visitors to the FBO ramp. HGR’s proposed fee schedule reflects
the rare occasion when someone wants to park on a non-FBO ramp at the Airport. For
example, this could be a sports charter on the firehouse apron or the terminal apron.
In conclusion, Hagerstown Regional Airport is competitively well-positioned within its regional
market, offering a diverse range of services to cater to the general aviation demand. With more
competitive tie-down fees and slightly higher fuel prices, customer choices may not be impacted
as they perceive the higher level of service at HGR is worth the difference. Overall, this market
analysis provides valuable insights to inform HGR's strategic planning, business development, and
marketing efforts moving forward.

5. Business Planning Strategies
This section outlines several business strategies designed to enhance revenue production at the
Airport. These strategies are not fully developed, but instead show anecdotal examples of
proformas for the following areas of interest: hangar development; non-aviation property
development; and airline/cargo service development.
5.1 Hangar Development
Hangar development is a key strategy for increasing revenue at an airport. By investing in new
hangar facilities, airports can accommodate more aircraft and attract a wider range of clients,
including private and corporate aircraft owners, maintenance providers, and aviation schools. This
typically works best if the airport sponsor is also the FBO or fuel seller on the airport.
At present, there is a mix of County owned and privately owned/managed hangars at HGR, some
with unusually long lease/reversion terms. While it is generally understood that Rider Jet Center
as a private entity, is able to develop hangar facilities less expensively than the County, this does
not demand that the Airport should not also participate in hangar development. New hangar
design and construction should be considered by the County to ensure more expedient and
dependable revenue streams. Furthermore, the County must insist upon future agreements that
hold the line on lease term length and ensure it is commensurate with investment. Term-stacking
and unnecessary extensions for little to no additional investment must be avoided. Independent
of hangar ownership, the FBO will capitalize on fuel sales to the new aircraft tenants.
Figure 1 – Hangar Feasibility Assumptions
Hagerstown Regional Airport
Strategic Plan June 2023
R.A. Wiedemann & Associates, Inc. 17
Using a feasibility proforma tool, the investment in new hangar development versus the leasing
of land for a third party to develop a hangar can be compared. Figure 1 shows the assumptions
in the model, while Figure 2 presents a sample comparison between these two options. For th is
model, one assumption is that the leased area is 1.5 times the building size. That lease footprint
can be equal to or up to 3.0 times the building size at some airports.
Results of the 30-year proforma model show:
• Total Hangar Revenues: $7,595,400
• Total Maintenance Expenses: $640,600
• Total Debt Service: $6,475,100
• Net Cash Flow: $479,600
• Net Ground Lease Revenues if 3rd Party Builds Hangar: $457,600
• Benefit of Building and Leasing Hangar: $22,100 over 30 years
This is the benefit that either Rider Jet Center or the County would accrue if they constructed the
facility. As shown, with a 6 percent interest rate, the ground lease option for the County is
favorable until year 30 of the model. Of course, assumptions and inputs could change the
outcomes. That is, lower inflation or interest rates, equity or grant investment instead of loans,
and different maintenance/insurance costs will change the model.
Figure 2 – Hangar Feasibility Comparison: Build vs Ground Lease
Hagerstown Regional Airport
Strategic Plan June 2023
R.A. Wiedemann & Associates, Inc. 18
One item we recommend not changing would be the ground lease rate of $0.50 per square foot.
That rate and higher ones are replacing lower rates at airports across the country. In addition, HGR
should not be responsible for a project proponent's site prep costs.
For T-Hangar development, the economics are somewhat worse. That is, for a 10-unit T-Hangar
with costs of $200/square foot, it would take 30 years to breakeven at $670 per unit per month.
This rate is in the upper range of rates for T-Hangars in the service area. While a municipal
government may be willing to wait for 30 years to recoup an investment, it would not work in the
business world. Again, interest rates, inflation, and building costs are significant to the feasibility.
5.2 Non-Aviation Property Development
Non-aviation property development provides additional revenue streams for airports by utilizing
available land or property for commercial or industrial purposes. Typical ideas for non-aviation
property development include:
Developing Retail, Hospitality, Or Entertainment Venues
Developing retail, hospitality (hotel and dining), or entertainment venues within the airport
property to attract passengers and visitors is one common theme at airline and larger general
aviation airports. HGR has already accomplished the dining portion of this, with two high-end
restaurants on or near the field (The Grille at Runways, and Nick’s Airport Inn). There is one upper-
midscale, limited-service hotel (Hampton Inn) within a mile of the Airport. In addition, there is an
aviation museum on the Airport which attracts numerous visitors each year. Finally, there are other
services and retail businesses scattered around the Airport or directly adjacent to facility. At the
Terminal Building, there are vending machines which provide limited food and snack services, as
well as a snack bar in the terminal hold room staffed by airport employees providing limited food
services to screened departing passengers. At present, flight schedules are not currently sufficient
to support a full-time retail outlet such as a gift shop or café. Therefore, no recommendations
regarding additional retail, dining, or entertainment venues are suggested for this plan.
Land Leasing
Leasing land or property to businesses or organizations for offices, warehouses, or other
commercial purposes is a viable option for the Airport. Options examined by this analysis included:
• Former Grove Farm Property
• Southeast Corner Near Basore Drive Adjacent to Taxiway Papa
Former Grove Farm Property
This property is roughly 80 acres (outlined in red) and is situated as shown in Figure 3. The
retention pond and the family cemetery cover about 20 acres, leaving between 50 and 60 acres
for development, depending on the selected use. Proposed uses for this property have included:
Hagerstown Regional Airport
Strategic Plan June 2023
R.A. Wiedemann & Associates, Inc. 19
• Solar Farm
• Commercial/Warehouse Development
The potential earnings from these uses depend on a ground lease agreement or, in the case of a
solar farm, a potential assessment based on production. For the commercial warehouse and water
treatment plant, ground lease costs need to be compared to the potential purchase price of the
land.
• 60 acres (2,613,600 sf) @ $140,000/acre = $8,400,000 or $3.21/square foot
Thus, assuming a 5 percent capitalization rate for lease revenues, a land lease over a 20-year
period would cost less than $0.161/square foot or roughly $420,000 per year – very good if you
can get it.
In Massachusetts, local units of government can levy payment in lieu of taxes (PILOTs) in addition
to property taxes on solar farms. For example, at the Fitchburg Airport, this would include a charge
of $9,800 per megawatt produced, plus the real property tax rate of $17.61 per $1,000 of land
value. This totals approximately $3,850 per acre, assuming a land valuation of $20,000 per acre.
Applying the Washington County, MD tax rate of $.948 and a land value of $140,000 per acre, the
rate equates to roughly $4,825 per acre or $289,500 per year if the property is sold. This
corresponds to approximately a $0.119 per square foot. If the land is retained and leased to a
solar farm developer, annual per-acre rents for larger tracts of solar land can range from $300 to
Figure 3 – Potential Non-Aviation Property Development Areas
Hagerstown Regional Airport
Strategic Plan June 2023
R.A. Wiedemann & Associates, Inc. 20
$800 depending on a state’s average capacity factor and land availability, according to Strategic
Solar Group.1 This lease rate at the top end, is $0.0184 per square foot. If an equivalent production
tax is applied, the overall annual lease rate would be $4,298 per acre or $0.0949 per square foot
(which is less than the return for selling the property and simply collecting taxes). Thus, unless
there are no other higher uses found for the property, the solar farm would be an alternative for
gaining some revenue from the property.
Southeast Corner Near Basore Drive Adjacent to Taxiway Papa
Figure 3 displays the area (outlined in green) that the Airport has considered repurposing. The
potential plan involves removing all residential properties and aging hangars to create a new large
T and Box hangar development complex, akin to the one near the FBO. Alternatively, this land
could be transformed into a small 13-acre industrial/flex-use park.
Assuming a cost of at least $100,000 per acre to prep the land for development, and considering
potential aviation use, land lease rates could range between $0.25 and $0.50 per square foot.
Given 10 acres of usable property, we estimate an annual rent for aviation usage at $217,800. With
a 5 percent cap rate, this allows for an investment exceeding $4.3 million to achieve breakeven
over 20 years.
Because industrial developments generally require that the developer control ownership of the
property, finding suitable lease users would be difficult for this property. At airports, leased
industrial development space is usually occupied by aviation-related industries with a need to
access a runway. This suggests that it would be easier to develop the property for aviation use
than non-aviation industrial or commercial use. Otherwise, selling the property and setting up an
annuity with the net proceeds to fund capital development is another option.
5.3 Airline/Cargo Service Development
One area of potential growth at HGR involves the attraction of more scheduled airline service and
specialty air cargo service. Served by Allegiant Air, a low-cost carrier offering flights to popular
vacation destinations like Orlando, St. Petersburg, and seasonally, Myrtle Beach, the Airport
presents an attractive option for both passengers and airlines. While daily flights to a hub may
not be feasible in the short term due to the proximity of larger airports like BWI and Dulles,
targeted regional connections could be a valuable addition to the Airport's offerings in the future.
Attracting a regional carrier to provide services to key hubs such as Charlotte (American) or Detroit
(Delta) could offer passengers more travel options and increase the Airport's catchment area. This,
in turn, could boost enplanements, currently around 31,000 per year, enhancing revenues from
the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) and paid parking, once these options are implemented.
1 “Harvesting the Sun: On-Farm Opportunities and Challenges for Solar Development,” Anuj Krishnamurthy, Oscar
Serpell, July 2021 (kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu).
Hagerstown Regional Airport
Strategic Plan June 2023
R.A. Wiedemann & Associates, Inc. 21
HGR lacks the volume for a dedicated cargo terminal, but the Airport is handling several million
pounds annually of all-cargo aircraft landed weight each year. Hagerstown's vibrant
manufacturing sector (Volvo and others) supports these specialized cargo flights. Potential
increases in cargo revenue opportunities would be seen in higher landing fees and perhaps a
specific fee assessed by the airport in addition to the landing fee to recognize a share of the
revenues associated with the loading/unloading and local truck transport service provided or
arranged by the FBO. (Currently Rider Jet Center handles all cargo flights). One option would be
to add another 0.30 per thousand lbs. MGTOW for all-air cargo planes.
The East Apron is one that could potentially be leased out to SNC or to the RJC FBO (at least a
larger portion of it) to generate revenue as its treated as common use apron now and being used
for free/no money is being earned with it. The Airport would benefit from regularly collecting fees
for the apron area if SNC or RJC FBO do use it and existing legal agreements allow HGR to charge
them for parking. Conversely, the Plane Care Apron off Taxiway Papa is one where that does not
earn income from that company to occupy or use it. That company wants HGR to make very
expensive repairs as the pavement is at the end of its useful life or at failure stage in spots.
It is recommended that new leases be signed at time of renewal, potentially with entirely new
lessees, which would charge for use of the pavement and not just the buildings. Nothing should
be free, under a "you pay for what you use" standard. The Plane Care area may benefit from a
demolition of some older structures and a reduction in the amount of paved surface back to only
what is needed.
In conclusion, there is potential for Hagerstown Regional Airport to attract more airline and cargo
services. Although others would benefit financially from this increase in activity, the Airport could
participate by instituting pay parking and a Passenger Facility Charge (PFC). Even with the status
quo in activity, the Airport would benefit from new parking fees and PFCs.
5.4 Pay Parking and Expanded Parking Area
Instituting a pay parking facility at HGR, with potential rates starting at $5 per day, could generate
significant additional revenue for the Airport. In this regard, North Central West Virginia Airport
began charging for parking in July 2022 and knew it would create an additional revenue stream
despite receiving complaints. In the months since, complaints have subsided, and the revenue
stream is better than what was expected. Since the Benedum Airport Authority signed off on the
project, the airport has collected $181,945 in revenue. The automated parking machine allows
customers to pay for parking with cash or credit. The daily cost is $5 per day, and it is free for less
than an hour.
In addition to pay parking at HGR, expanding the parking lot near the entrance to accommodate
truck/trailer parking from the Love's Truck Stop across the street could further increase income.
However, aesthetic and visual impacts must also be considered to ensure the Airport maintains a
positive image.
Hagerstown Regional Airport
Strategic Plan June 2023
R.A. Wiedemann & Associates, Inc. 22
Potential Revenue from Pay Parking
With an average of 200 cars currently utilizing the free parking lot, instituting a daily rate of $5
could generate considerable income. Assuming consistent usage, the estimated revenue would
be as follows:
• 200 cars * $5 per day * 365 days = $365,000 per year
Additionally, the expanded parking lot for truck/trailer parking could generate further revenue.
There is an identified need for it in Washington County. HGR is located just off I-81 at perhaps the
only intersection in Washington County that can take the trucks without major congestion issues.
Some trucks would pay $15-$30+ a day to park overnight even on a gravel lot.
Assuming just 10 trucks at $20 per night, the following revenues could be generated:
• 10 trucks * $20 per day * 365 days = $73,000 per year
Between the cars and trucks, a total of $438,000 could be generated. These numbers are based
on minimal daily fees of $5 per car and $20 per tractor-trailer truck. Over time, these fees could
be raised.
Costs
There would be costs associated with implementing a pay parking facility and expanding the
parking lot. These might include:
• Initial investment in parking equipment, such as ticketing machines, barriers, fencing and
signage.
• Ongoing maintenance costs for the equipment and parking area.
• Additional part-time staffing or security measures to manage the pay parking facility.
• Construction costs for the truck parking lot expansion.
Prior to initiating pay parking, consideration should be given to how much demand may be lost
because of the increased cost. At $5 per day, it is doubtful that any travel decisions would be
impacted or cancelled. A detailed cost analysis should be conducted by the Airport’s engineering
consultant to determine the cost components of these items.
Aesthetic and Visual Impacts
While the additional revenue from the pay parking facility and expanded parking lot is attractive,
the potential aesthetic and visual impacts must be considered. An airport's entrance plays a crucial
role in shaping first impressions for visitors and passengers.
Hagerstown Regional Airport
Strategic Plan June 2023
R.A. Wiedemann & Associates, Inc. 23
Truck/trailer parking near the Airport entrance could create a less appealing visual environment,
potentially reducing the Airport's perceived value and negatively impacting the overall experience
for passengers. To mitigate these concerns, the following measures could be taken:
• Implement landscaping and greenery around
the parking area to create a visual buffer
between the trucks/trailers and the Airport
entrance.
• Design the expanded parking lot to minimize
visibility from the Airport entrance, possibly by
strategically placing it behind creative art
barriers or creating a designated truck/trailer
parking area further from the entrance.
• Incorporate attractive signage and lighting to
maintain a professional and welcoming
appearance.
In conclusion, instituting a pay parking facility and
expanding the parking lot for truck/trailer parking
could generate substantial additional revenue for HGR. However, the potential aesthetic and visual
impacts must be carefully considered and mitigated to ensure the Airport maintains a positive
image. A comprehensive cost analysis and thoughtful planning for visual impact mitigation can
help achieve a balance between revenue generation and maintaining a welcoming Airport
environment.
5.5 Passenger Facility Charge
Instituting a Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) of $4.50 per enplanement at HGR, which currently
has airline service from a low-cost carrier (Allegiant), presents both advantages and disadvantages.
Given the passenger level of 65,000 annually, the PFC could generate significant revenue for the
Airport, but it may also be viewed negatively by the airline, potentially affecting their operations.
The following summary outlines the pros and cons of implementing a PFC at HGR (also see FAA
Advisory Circular regarding PFCs - https://www.faa.gov/airports/pfc).
Pros:
• Increased Revenue: Assuming 65,000 annual enplanements, a PFC of $4.50 per
enplanement would generate $292,500 in additional annual revenue for HGR. This revenue
can be used as the local share for a variety of essential Airport improvement, safety, and
maintenance projects. These projects might include funding other necessary non-AIP
projects, such as: wildlife studies and mitigation, investments in Aircraft Rescue & Fire
Fighting, security expenses such as cameras and access control systems, red "crash"
hardline phone system for emergency communications between ARFF and Air Traffic
Figure 4 – Murals at Lexington Bluegrass Field

Control, Airport Management/Ops/MX/local 911. In addition, PFC revenue could fund
airfield painting costs, airfield sweepers, salt building, parking lot improvements, etc. These
necessary Capital Improvements are sometimes delayed because the FAA, MAA or local
County do not have the resources to fund them.
• Funding for Capital Improvement Projects: PFC revenue can be used to fund Airport
infrastructure projects that may otherwise be difficult to finance, including the expansion
of the parking lots, creation of truck parking areas, land acquisition near Taxiway Papa, etc.
• Bonding Potential: PFC revenue can be used to support the issuance of bonds, providing
HGR with a stable source of funding for long-term capital improvement projects. This can
help the airport secure lower interest rates and better financing terms for future
development.
Cons:
• Potential Negative Impact on Airline Relationship: Instituting a PFC may be viewed
negatively by Allegiant, as low-cost carriers typically aim to offer the lowest possible fares
to their customers. Adding a PFC could lead to increased ticket prices, which the airline
may believe, or at least say, will affect its competitiveness and passenger demand, (even
though Allegiant has PFCs at many other cities it serves).
• Administrative Costs: Implementing and managing a PFC program requires additional
administrative work, such as collecting and remitting the fees, maintaining records, and
complying with federal regulations. These tasks may increase the airline and Airport's
operational costs.
• Pay Parking vs PFCs: If the Airport seeks a PFC prior to instituting pay parking, Allegiant
is apt to react negatively, as they would argue that all should be done on the local side to
generate additional revenue from passenger use of the terminal and facilities prior to
seeking additional fees from the airline to have to collect from passengers and remit back
to the Airport.
In conclusion, instituting a PFC of $4.50 per enplanement at HGR could generate additional
revenue and provide funding for capital improvement projects, as well as support bonding efforts.
However, it may also negatively impact the Airport's relationship with Allegiant and potentially
reduce passenger traffic slightly due to increased ticket prices (and parking fees if these initiatives
are pursued concurrently). HGR management should carefully weigh these pros and cons prior to
implementing a new set of fee structures.
5.6 Summary and Findings
This analysis has identified several business strategies that could enhance revenue production at
HGR. The potential strategies are grounded in the areas of hangar development, non-aviation
property development, airline/cargo service development, instituting pay parking and an
expanded parking area, and implementing a Passenger Facility Charge (PFC).
Hangar development, such as potentially delegated to Rider Jet Center, could accrue benefits from
ground leases, including an estimated net cash flow of $7,500 per year from a single 15,000 sf
Hagerstown Regional Airport
Strategic Plan June 2023
R.A. Wiedemann & Associates, Inc. 25
lease. Assuming 150,000 square feet of new leases over 20 years, a cumulative total of $1.5 million
could be realized in un-escalated revenues.
Non-aviation property development on the Grove Farm Property and near Basore Drive adjacent
to Taxiway Papa, via land leasing or commercial/warehouse development, could yield substantial
revenue. The Grove Farm Property's potential ground lease revenue could be estimated at
$420,000 per year if used for commercial development. The development near Basore Drive could
achieve an estimated annual rent for aviation usage at $217,800, given 10 acres of usable property.
Airline/cargo service development holds potential, particularly through regional connections that
could boost enplanements and revenues from PFCs and paid parking. These strategies require
careful consideration as they may impact relationships with current airline partners, particularly
Allegiant.
Instituting a pay parking facility and expanding the parking lot could generate additional revenue.
Estimated annual earnings could reach $438,000, assuming rates of $5 per car and $20 per tractor-
trailer truck per day. However, aesthetic and visual impacts must be mitigated to maintain a
positive Airport image.
Implementing a PFC of $4.50 per enplanement could result in significant additional revenue of
$292,500 per year given the current enplanement level. PFCs can also support long-term capital
improvement projects and bond issuance. Yet, the potential negative impact on the relationship
with Allegiant and potential administrative costs must be considered. Table 4 presents a summary
of the potential financial benefits of these initiatives.

Agenda Report Form
Open Session Item
SUBJECT: Transfer of Real Property and Declaration of Surplus Property
PRESENTATION DATE: September 19, 2023
PRESENTATION BY: Todd Moser, Real Property Administrator, Division of Engineering
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the acceptance of real property conveyance from
Washington County Board of Education (BOE) concerning the property consisting of +/- 28.04 acres
located on the Northeast Side of Mount Aetna Road, to adopt the ordinance declaring the property as
Surplus, to approve the conveyance of the same, and to authorize the execution of the necessary
documentation to finalize the conveyance for $2,700,000.00 to Meritus Medical Center, Inc (Meritus).
The intent to convey the property was duly advertised July 31, August 7, and August 14.
REPORT -IN -BRIEF: The Board of County Commissioners previously approved a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the County, BOE, and Meritus on June 6, 2023 for the transfer of real
property.
DISCUSSION: The BOE has determined land behind Children's Village consisting of approximately
28.04 +/- acres to be surplus property and unsuitable for construction of an elementary school and
unnecessary for the continued operation of Children's Village. Meritus has agreed to acquire the surplus
property to accommodate student housing for the Meritus School of Osteopathic Medicine.
BOE cannot, by law, convey any property to any entity other than the local government, and therefore,
the County must approve and accept the conveyance of property from BOE, convey the property, and be a
party to the MOU. The County will contribute the $2.7 million to the County's Capital Reserve Fund for
BOE'S use, in its sole discretion, to acquire land for new school construction, for school building
construction, or renovation projects. The State of Maryland must also approve the proposed disposal of
surplus property.
