EXPLANATORY  NOTES  RE:   TABLE  I 

The  forecast  of  expenses  for  the  first  six  months  of  1961  was  based  upon  the 
annual  budget  for  1961,  the  historical  experience  regarding  the  distribution  of  annual 
budget  expenditures  by  six  months  periods,  current  information  regarding  planned 
expenditures  and  the  operating  requirements  of  existing  facilities  and  those  which 
are  anticipated  to  begin  operating  during  1961  „ 

All  significant  differences  between  the  estimated  first  half-year  and  last  half- 
year  expenses  are  explained  below.    These  include  all  accounts  over  $10,000  where  the 
difference  amounts  to  $3,500  and  is  more  than  10%  of  the  annual  amount. 

Operating  Salaries  and  Wages  -  Due  to  the  opening  of  the  new  terminal  and 
other  facilities  in  late  1961  or  early  1962,  additional  operating  personnel 
will  be  required.    It  is  anticipated  that  most  of  these  additional  personnel 
will  be  hired  during  the  last  half  of  the  year.    Consequently,  the  salary 
expenditures  will  be  less  in  the  first  half  of  the  year  than  in  the  last  half  of 
the  year. 
Rental  of  Equipment  and  Services  -  The  first  half  of  1961  expenditures  are 
expected  to  be  greater  than  in  the  last  half-year  because  the  rental  of 
equipment  for  snow  removal  will  be  predominant  during  the  first  six  months 
of  the  year. 
Repair  or  Maintenance  of  Facilities  -  These  wil  I  be  made  primarily  during  the 

warmer  months  of  the  year  most  of  which  occur  during  the  last  six  months. 
Repair  or  Maintenance  of  Equipment  -  Historically,  this  expense  item  has  been 
greater  in  the  first  six  months  of  the  year.     |t  relates  to  the  heavier  use  of 
certain  equipment  during  this  period,  particularly  for  the  removal  of  snow. 

-8- 


Heat,  Light  and  Power  (  Public  and  Municipal  )  -  Greater  expenditures  during 

the  last  six  months  will  be  caused  by  the  initiation  of  operations  of  new 

terminal  and  other  new  facilities  during  that  period. 
Fuel  Oil  -  The  operation  of  the  new  power  plant  during  the  last  six  months 

of  1961   is  anticipated  to  account  for  the  greater  expenditure  during  that 

period  than  in  the  first  six  months „ 
Materials  and  Supplies  -  The  expenditures  during  the  last  six  months  are 

expected  to  be  greater  than  in  the  first  half-year  because  of  the  acquisition 

of  the  basic  inventory  for  and  the  operation  of  the  new  facilities  in  the  last 

half-year. 
Equipment  for  Buildings  -  Purchase  of  electrical  sub-station  equipment  amounting 

to  $1 1 ,000  is  planned  for  the  first  six  months,  accounting  for  62%  of  the  total 

budget  amount. 
Furniture,  Communication  and  Office  Equipment  -  Purchase  of  furniture  and 

equipment  for  the  new  facilities  is  planned  for  the  last  six  months,  causing 

expenditures  to  be  greater  during  that  period  than  in  the  first  six  months  of  1961 
Machinery  and  Equipment  -  |t  is  planned  that  the  equipment  purchased  during  the 

first  half  of  1961  will  amount  to  about  one-third  of  the  budgeted  amount. 

These  purchases  are  for  equipment  which  will  be  required  for  operation  during 

that  period. 
Vehicles  -  All  but  one  of  the  vehicles  which  have  been  budgeted  for,  are 

expected  to  be  purchased  during  the  first  six  months. 

Police  Department  Salaries  and  Wages  -  Additional  police  are  anticipated  to  be 

required  during  the  last  six  months  of  1961,  when  the  new  facilities  are 

_9  _ 


opened.    Consequently,  the  expenditures  during  the  first  six  months 
will  be  less  than  those  of  the  last  six  months. 

Fire  Department  Supplies  and  Maintenance  -  it  is  anticipated  that  the  first  half- 
year's  expense  will  be  less  than  that  in  the  last  six  months,  in  keeping  with 
prior  years'  expense. 

Expenses  Incident  to  Opening  -  This  expense  is  related  to  the  opening  of  the 
new  terminal  facilities  and  will  all  be  incurred  during  the  last  six  months 
of  the  year. 

Others  -  These  include  indirect  general  and  administrative  salaries  and  wages, 
provisions  for  pensions,  and  indirect  general  and  administrative  other 
expense.    The  amounts  expected  to  be  spent  from  these  accounts  during  the 
respective  half-year  periods  are  related  to  the  direct  salaries  expense. 

Proposed  Wages  and  Salaries  Increases  -  This  includes  a  5%  increase  in  all 

salaries  and  wages  except  police  and  fire  department  salaries,  a  7 .5%  increase 
in  police  and  fire  department  salaries,  and  a  corresponding  increase  in  provision 
for  pensions.    These  increases  are  in  accordance  with  the  recommendations  in 
the  Mayor's  Budget.

are  based  upon  current  agreements,  estimated  air  traffic,  and  the  currently  available 
revenue  sources. 

A  comparison  of  the  forecasts  for  the  first  six  months  of  1961  with  the  actual 

revenues  for  the  first  half  of  1960  is  also  shown  on  Table  II.    Principal  differences 

between  the  two  periods  are  in  Helicopter  Flight  Fees  and  concession  revenues.     Both 

of  these  revenue  sources  relate  directly  to  the  number  of  air  passengers  using  the  airport, 

A  comparison  of  the  forecasted  increase  in  enplaning  passengers,  helicopter  flight  fees, 

and  concession  revenues  is  indicated  below; 

Enplaning      Helicopter       Concession 
Period  of  Time  Passengers     Flight  Fees       Revenues 


First  Six  Months  of  1960  965,000      $8,700  $531,600 

First  Six  Months  of  1961  1,580,000      $13,500  $721,900 

Percent  Increase  1961  over  1960  64%  55%  36% 

Facility  limitations  and  historic  experience  indicate  that  the  revenues  from 
helicopter  flight  fees  and  concession  revenues  will  not  increase  in  the  same  proportion 
as  enplaning  air  passengers.    These  factors  have  been  considered  in  arriving  at  the 
forecasted  amounts.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  RE:   TABLE  III 

The  unadjusted  total  of  estimated  airline  landing  weights  shown  on  Table  III 
were  provided  by  the  airlines.    The  total  of  these  estimates  was  adjusted  for  purposes 
of  determining  the  flight  fee. 

The  10%  adjustment  was  made  giving  consideration  to  the  following  factors: 

1 .  The  most  recent  experience  indicates  that  the  total  actual  airline  landing 

weight  at  O'Hare  has  been  less  than  estimated  by  the  airlines: 

Percent  Actual  of 
Estimated  Total 
Time  Period  Airline  Landing  Weight 

First  Six  Months  of  1960  86% 

Third  Quarter  @f  1960  92% 

2.  The  airline  estimates  are  made  on  the  basis  of  schedules  operated  daily  with 
no  allowances  for  cancellations  and  days  on  which  flights  are  not  scheduled. 

3.  The  operating  status  of  Capital  Airlines  is  indefinite  at  this  time.    The  Capital 
Airline  estimate  is  about  2%  of  the  total  estimated  by  all  airlines.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES  RE:   TA&LE  IV 

In  conjunction  with  the  studies,  a  review  was  made  of  the  flight  fee  revenue 
requirements  estimated  for  the  last  six  months  of  1960.    The  review  of  the  following 
elements  upon  which  the  flight  fee  revenue  requirements  for  this  period  were  based, 
indicate  that  an  adjustment  to  the  rate  which  was  set  does  not  appear  warranted  at  this 
time. 

1  .  Estimated  revenues,  excluding  flight  fees,  appear  to  be  "in  line". 

2.  Actual  airline  landing  weight  is  running  less  than  was  estimated. 

3.  Actual  expenses  appear  to  be  running  correspondingly  less  than  estimated.

CONTINGENT  REVENUES  TABLE  VI! 

CHICA GOO1  HARE  INTERNATIONAL  AIRPORT 
FOR  THE  SIX  MONTHS  ENDING  JUNE  30,  1961 

In  addition  to  the  revenue  forecasts  on  Table  II,  there  are  other  sources  of 
income  which  may  be  realized  in  the  first  six  months  of  1961 . 

1  .  General  Aviation  Landing  Fees 

Currently,  no  landing  fee  is  charged  for  general  aviation  aircraft.    A 
proposed  ordinance  authorizing  such  a  charge  is  pending  in  City  Council . 

2.  Additional  Concession  Fees 

Currently,  agreements  have  been  consummated  with  two  rent-a-car 
concessionaires ,    A  third  rent-a-car  concessionaire  may  be  operating  at 
O'Hare  during  the  first  half  of  1961  . 

3.  Hangar  and  Hangar  Site  Rentals 

No  rentals  are  anticipated  from  new  hangar  facilities  during  the  first  six 
months  of  1961  based  upon  current  data  provided  by  the  Department  of 
Aviation.     If,  however,  certain  construction  which  is  to  be  provided  by 
the  City  is  completed  during  the  period,  ground  rentals  may  be  charged 
to  the  airlines  for  the  hangar  sites.

NOTES  REGARDING  FLIGHT  FEE  REQUIREMENT  TABLE  VIII 

CHICAGO-O'HARE  INTERNATIONAL  AIRPORT 
FOR  THE  SIX  MONTHS  PERIODS  ENDING 
DECEMBER  31,  1960  AND  JUNE  30,  1961 

The  flight  fee  rate  for  the  six  months  period  ending  June  30,   1961   is  greater 
than  the  rate  for  the  six  months  ending  December  31,   1960.    The  rate  for  the  last  six 
months  of  1960  was  set  at  $.075  per  thousand  pounds,  while  the  rate  determined  for 
the  first  six  months  of  1961  is  $.391  per  thousand  pounds.    The  difference  between 
the  rates  for  the  two  periods  is  due  to  two  factors: 

1  .  Adjustments  to  the  rate  for  the  last  six  months  of  1960  carried  over  from 
prior  periods. 

2.  Increase  in  expenses  for  the  first  six  months  of  1961  over  the  last  six  months 
of  1960. 

The  adjustments  made  to  the  rate  for  the  last  six.  months  of  1960  were  due  to 
deferred  income  carried  forward  from  1959  and  an  anticipated  deficiency  in  flight 
fees  for  the  first  half  of  1960. 

The  increase  in  expenses  for  the  first  six  months  of  1961  over  the  last  half  of 
1960  are  due  to  increases  in  staffing  and  other  expenses  attendant  to  the  expansion  in 
airport  facilities  and  operations  and  for  engineering  and  construction  expenses  related  to 
interim  facilities  provided.    The  increase  in  salaries  and  related  expenses  reflects  a  level 
based  upon  operation  of  the  expanded  existing  facilities  and  preparing  to  operate  the 
facilities  anticipated  to  be  in  operation  by  the  latter  part  of  1961  . 

A  comparison  of  the  rates  for  the  two  six  months  periods  (  excluding  adjustments 
for  deferred  income  and  flight  fee  deficiencies  )  is  shown  below.-
