The Coos County Airport District commissioners want to hold a special meeting to discuss how much to charge for parking fees at the new airport terminal. Up for debate is whether people will have to pay for short-term parking in addition to long-term parking.

This week the commissioners approved the lowest of three bids — $260,415 from SysParc of Van Nuys, Calif. — for a parking lot control system to be paid for through the building and reserve fund. The system would allow people to pay by cash or credit card.

Early revenue calculations are based on charging $5 per vehicle.

“We haven’t decided yet whether we would do short term or long term or it could be one fee,” Airport Executive Director Gary LeTellier said.

The talk of fees had at least one audience member concerned.

“What about the people who are running in here to buy a ticket?” asked Steve Pickering of Coos Bay. “Now their $350 ticket becomes a $355 ticket.”

Commissioner Joe Benetti said he personally is only looking at long-term parking fees.

“I’m not saying that I’m going to win this argument,” he said.

The meeting date and time will be announced later.
