As you may be aware, a significant expense item is the <br />electrical bill. <br /> <br />Cambridge <br />Jackson <br />Princeton <br />Redwing <br />Waseca <br /> <br />ANNUAL OPERATION COSTS <br /> <br /> Runway Based <br /> 79-80 80-8I 8~-82 82-83 83-84 Comments Length Aircraft <br />+ 3,901 4,923 11,834 6,631 8,815 REILS 3200' 17 <br />+ 8,869 5,965 19,132 16,181 15,530 REILS/VASI 3600' 14 <br />+ tl,397 8,963 19,910 15,380 REILS/VASI 3200' 13 <br />+ 6,028 6,701 7,370 14,870 14,945 3000' 8 <br />+ 5,365 9,675 5,897 7,512 10,399 VASI 3400' 10 <br /> <br />Source: MN/DOT 8-16-84 <br /> <br />Averaging the costs for Jackson, Princeton, and Redwing for the last two <br />years yields a figure of $15,380. Jackson and Redwing, however, have no <br />taxiway. Redwing also does not have REILS or VASI. Thus, with the proposed <br />development at Gateway assume costs to be about 10% higher and say <br />$17,000/year subject to inflation. <br /> <br /> <br />
