A. No person shall engage in commercial activity at the airport through the installation or maintenance of a direct line telephone in an airport terminal building or other city airport building, for the general public to use to directly contact a business located on or off the airport, unless a direct line telephone agreement for such purpose is first obtained.

If the director has approved such an agreement on behalf of the city, he or she may not thereafter approve a subsequent direct line telephone agreement with the same person, without authorization of the city council to do so.

  1. There is adequate space in appropriate locations available to accommodate such activity consistent with the space requirements of other airport uses and such use would not interfere with other operations or uses for such space; and

  2. The proposed agreement conforms with the city council policy for commercial activity at the airport.
