Public Fields

[Ed Deaver]

Here in Lubbock we have 2 fields currently open.  

The old field is the city field.  An $8 permit must be purchased for a year, showing proof of insurance, either AMA or Homeowners.  Rules are posted and enforced sort of by the majority.

Reece has the runway leased to the club, so the club has control.  You must be a club member or fly 3X/year as a guest.  Rule enforcement is club membership.  Exclusions have been put into club by-laws, and therefor can be enforced.

  Perhaps those of you that fly at publicly owned fields (city, county, etc.)
  could answer a few questions I have concerning administration, maintenance and
  safety at such facilities.

  Does the city/county allow anyone to use the facility, regardless of club or
  other (e.g., AMA) affiliation?  Who sets the safety rules?  How are they
  enforced?

  If a club uses that field as their 'home' field, what is the relationship with
  the city/county?  Does the club rent or lease the facility?  Typical cost?  As
  before, who sets the safety rules, and who enforces?  Does the club restrict
  usage, and if so, how?

  If a club 'controls' the field, who is responsible for the maintenance?
  Insurance?

  Can you make a comparison with 'private' clubs and their facilities?

  TIA

  Richard
