Public Fields

[Tony Quist]

Sun Valley fliers in Phoenix is on County land but controlled by Phoenix
Park and rec.  We have a USE agreement with the city not a lease.  We
have control of what happens on site but if we want to improve anything
we need the city's permission.  We are a large club with 380 members so
we only allow members and their guests to fly.

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
