Parking Lot Update
By Omar Daaboul, Airport Administration Manager
Due to the recent growth in commercial air service at
the Airport, we have been challenged with the need to
expend our infrastructure. We had 339,000 passengers
traveling through the Airport in 2016, and are projecting
425,000 passengers in 2017.
Our parking lots reach maximum capacity on a regular
basis; for that reason we had to nd ways to provide
temporary parking accommodation to passengers by
creating a Pre-Pay overow lot. This overow lot only
provides a temporary solution and will soon be replaced
by a new long term lot that will have 450 parking
spaces.
The new 4-acre long-term lot is designed by BKF Engineers
in Santa Rosa. We are currently in the process of getting
bids with the goal to have the project completed by the
end of the year.
The parking lots for Sonoma County Airport are currently
managed by Republic Parking System.
The rates are as follow:
• Long-Term Parking is: $10.00 per 24-hour
• Short-Term Parking is: $14.00 per 24-hour
(First 2 hours free!)
• Pre-Paid Overow Parking is: $8.00 per 24-
hour (Available only when other lots are
full)
Alternative Parking Options
When the parking lots become full, passengers should
follow the diagram above to locate the areas where
passenger parking is permitted near the Airport. Currently,
each area has a “No Parking” street sign. When the parking
lots are full – these signs will be covered and the area will
be available for airport passenger parking. Please do not
park in the areas when the signs are visible; you will be
subject to parking ticket(s) and towing.
The above parking diagram is also available at the Republic
Parking booth and the Airport Manager’s oce.

Entrepreneurial Spirit
Launches Local Aircraft
Detailing Services
By Julia Hochberg, Owner
Thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of a Sonoma Jet Center
employee, Sonoma Jet Center now provides world-class
aircraft detailing services!
In January 2016, Glen Smith was working as a Line Service
Technician at Sonoma Jet Center and was periodically
asked to help clean customers’ aircraft. Glen enjoyed the
work and showed a great passion for detailing. As Glen
watched aircraft detailing companies travel from southern
California to KSTS to complete large detailing jobs on
Sonoma Jet Center customer aircraft, he started thinking
about an entrepreneurial opportunity. Encouraged
by Sonoma Jet Center management, Glen developed
a business plan to launch an internal Aircraft Detailing
division of Sonoma Jet Center’s operations.
Josh Hochberg, Sonoma Jet Center’s Owner and President
said, “Glen identied a clear need for quality and highly
trained aircraft detailing at KSTS and we see great value in
providing these specialized services to our customers and
keeping these jobs in Sonoma county.”
Aircraft detailing is signicantly dierent than automobile
detailing because of the aircraft materials, specialized
nishes, and unique components such as deicing systems
built into aircraft wings. Glen has completed multiple
training courses in aircraft detailing, including a week long
seminar at J.A. Air Center in Illinois and a factory training
to install the highly sought after Permagard protection
coating.
Now staed with a team of professionally trained
detailers, Glen and his Aircraft Detailing division are
providing services to tenants and visitors of KSTS and
other northern California airports. Sonoma Jet Center
also has contracts with several charter companies to keep
their aircraft looking great.
“We are very proud of the
professional detailing team Glen
has assembled at Sonoma Jet Center,
it makes all of us feel great to see
the happy faces of our detailing
customers when we professionally
detail their aircraft.”

Hangar Facility Maintenance
Plan – Electrical Repairs
By Omar Daaboul, Airport Administration Manager
A Hangar Facility Maintenance plan evaluation was
recently completed, the plan evaluated and identied the
majority of repairs that need to be completed on Airport
hangars including Nob Hill, PCAM, EAA, Skid Row, Gun
Club and Sheri.
We are working on implementing this maintenance plan
in dierent phases. Our initial approach is to conduct the
repair of critical items, such as electrical items.
We want to ensure that we can remediate any potential
safety concerns as swiftly as possible, therefore we will be
actively working with tenants in the near future to solve
these concerns and complete those repairs.
The next phases, which will come at a later date, include
taking care of maintenance priorities generally focused
on roong, door repairs and identied deferred routine
maintenance items.
Sky Lounge Celebrates
10th Anniversary!
By Lori Schandel, Airport Property Specialist
The Sky Lounge Restaurant, owned and operated by Jim
Go, will celebrate its 10-year anniversary at the Charles
M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport in August. Jim’s history
with the Airport began when he was a young kid and ew
with his dad. He fondly remembers Dee’s Airport Café, a
restaurant that operated at the Airport in the 1970s. It was
Jim’s enthusiasm of hometown aviation that led him to be
a pilot and restaurateur in Sonoma County.
Jim’s focus is serving great food to all of his customers. His
two daughters work beside him to create a friendly and
relaxed restaurant. Three of the original sta members he
hired for the restaurant ten years ago, are still with him
today. Jim cooks a fabulous Thanksgiving feast each year
for passengers and airport personnel as a tribute to his
aviation family – both new and longstanding.
Congratulations to Jim Go on Sky Lounge Restaurant’s
10th anniversary!

Service Roads
By Omar Daaboul, Airport Administration Manager
Service roads are used by Airport sta, authorized clients,
and contractors to access the various areas of the Airport
grounds to minimize time spent on taxiways and runways
and subsequently avoiding interference with aircraft
operations.
The current service road network at the Airport is
incomplete and is comprised of gravel roads susceptible
to closure due to wet conditions.
For these reasons, the completion of construction of
the service roads will allow Airport sta and contractors
to work safely and more eciently by providing a well-
maintained infrastructure with connectivity to all areas of
the Airport grounds.
The project began in August 2016, which involves the
completion of the Runway 14-32 Safety Area Service
Roads, through the formation of roadbeds, placing hot
mix asphalt paving; and the construction of two bridges.
Each bridge will be a single span consisting of precast,
pre-stressed concrete T-girder superstructures. These
structures are each required to clear span Airport Creek
and Lower Ordnance Creek with approximate span lengths
of 100 feet and 80 feet respectively. Both structures will
be designed to carry two through-lanes 12 feet wide, and
two 2- foot shoulders for a clearance width of 28 feet.
In order to complete the project, the Airport has been
awarded a federal grant from the Federal Aviation
Administration in the amount of $1,842,989. The grant
reimbursement rate is 90.66% and local share rate of
9.34%. This estimated cost to construct is $1,942,705.
The Construction project is scheduled for completion by
September 2017.
