[Third-level (Commuter) Air Carrier Service - Copies of Airport Commission recommenda- !tion ~ere previously furnished to Council members w.ith regard to information re- ~q.ue-sted from airport operators by the Public utili ty Commissioner. The Commission irecommended as essential the requirement for performance and/or surety bonding for :third-level air carriers of at least three months' jrevenue, in no case less than I .$1000, to the airport; that a study be made of the need for bringing traffic to and 'from the coastal areas for connections at Eugene; and that no State subsidy be granted third-level air carriers at this time, instE~ad each community seeking that type service evaluate means of easing the financial load of newly initiated com- muter service until traffic loads make the operation financially feasible. c.. h,..' Manager explained the desirability of having a third-level air carrier service to !serve the Eugene market because of reduction in air carrier service to smaller :cities in the State and because present schedules do not allow for convenient con- :nections to other areas.

The retail operation has since muved uut and the cafe operation has expanded into that space. At the time of original occupancy a variance was also granted permitting smoke de- tection system rather than sprinklering system for fire protection. The business operation has been good, well respected, and very popular from the standpoint of food service. However, the expansion into the retaJ[] area for restaurant purposes is at variance with the certificate of occupancy and staff feels the problem of fire ;protection and additional code requirements should be resolved if the operation is 'to continue on its expanded basis. Zoning Board has again granted a variance to alio~'the expanded use without additional parking spaces.
