. Before entering any exclusive or limited agreement in
connection with the management of any airport facility or the
operation of any airport concession, the governing body of a publicly
owned or operated airport shall, under authority hereby expressly
delegated by the state, determine the necessity for an exclusive or
limited agreement. The governing body shall consider the following
factors to determine the necessity for an exclusive or limited
agreement to further the policies and objectives stated in this
article:
(a) Public safety.
(b) Public convenience.
(c) Quality of service.
(d) The need to conserve airport space.
(e) The need to avoid duplication of services.
(f) The impact on the environment or facilities of the airport as
an essential commercial and tourist service center.
(g) The need to avoid destructive competition which may impair the
quality of airport services to the public, lead to uncertainty,
disruption, or instability in the rendering of such services, or
detract from the state's attractiveness as a center of tourism and
commerce.
In making its determination, the airport operator shall not be
required to take evidence or to make findings of fact.
