Business Plan Mission Statement
Draft #3 (from Committee Meeting held on May 5, 2008)

The Knox County Regional Airport provides the safest and most reliable air transportation services and facilities for the residents, businesses, and visitors of the greater Knox County and Penobscot Bay region.

This public airport offers passenger and freight transportation, mail delivery, medical and emergency services, as well as general aviation support. These services are provided in the most efficient, fiscally responsible and environmentally safe manner while continuing to be a good neighbor to the adjacent communities.

Knox County Regional Airport’s operation and management will be conducted ethically and transparently, with the utmost respect for the community within which the airport is located.

• Operating Guidelines for “Business Plan Workgroup”:
• Meeting will be facilitated
• A note taker will be used to record meetings, assignments, decisions, etc
• Meetings will be every other Thursday – 4-6 p.m. Note this was changed to Monday
• Meetings will be open to public – times and dates will be posted
• Meeting will take place at the Knox County Courthouse – Administrative Offices (unless otherwise announced)
• Open  comment period will be offered for 15 mins at the beginning and closing of each meeting
• Only the “Business Plan Workgroup” will be active participants at the meeting – others (APAC members, Airport Manager, experts, the public, consultants, etc) may be called upon by the Business Plan Workgroup to provide information at the meetings
• Decisions will be made by consensus
• When consensus can not be reached --  a majority vote may be taken (note several attempts, spanning more than one meeting, will be made to reach consensus before a vote is used on an issue).  
• Workgroup members will be given research and writing assignments for the development of the plan.
• Attendance is not mandatory - however, repeated/unexcused absences will be addressed by the Workgroup Chair.

• Relationship of the “Airport Business Plan” to the “Terminal Plan”:

The Business Plan Workgroup (a subset of the APAC) is charged with developing an overarching business plan for the future of the Knox County Airport.  In the process of developing that larger business plan, the Workgroup will consider the issues surrounding the future of the Airport Terminal Building.   The Mission., Vision and Business Plan that is developed by the Workgroup will direct the future planning decisions relative to the Terminal Building. General recommendations regarding the future for the Terminal Building will be made in the business plan that is developed.

Based on those recommendations about the future for the Terminal Building, the Airport Manager and consultant will develop the detailed “Terminal Plan” that will be used to seek federal funding for the Terminal development plan.  The Terminal Plan, that will be developed by the Airport Manager and consultants, will be a detailed, technical, and specific plan for the future development of the Terminal Building, which will be consistent with (and driven by) the overarching Airport Mission, Vision and Business Plan.
