Municipal Airports Act

Arkansas · Local Government · §§ 14-361-101 to 14-361-124 · 24 sections

Overview

The Municipal Airports Act authorizes municipalities to acquire, construct, own, operate, and dispose of airports and related air navigation facilities, including buying or leasing land, exercising eminent domain, building runways, roadways, and bridges, taking over existing airports, and coordinating local facilities with state and federal ones. It supplies the financing and governance machinery for that work — taxation and appropriations, general obligation and revenue bonds and other municipal securities, a dedicated airport fund, and authority to accept federal and state grants or loans — while letting a municipality vest management in an officer, board, or agency, engage an agent to operate the airport, and adopt and enforce airport ordinances and regulations. It further permits two or more public agencies to act jointly through cooperative agreements, joint boards, and joint funds, and declares airport activity a public and governmental function, carrying governmental immunity and exempting airport property and income from taxation.
