Sec. 3-159. - Authorization for identification.
The director, before granting authorization for entrance or operations within restricted areas previously defined, must determine from existing facts or from information provided by the applicant that the entrance and/or operations are necessary for the regular operations of the airport and that such authorization will not cause any security problem for the airport or for the lessees of airport property.
The director shall, therefore, have the right to require those seeking authorization to provide information relative to the applicant's name and address, his/her employer and address, his/her proposed activities within the restricted area, and any other information necessary to establish the right of entry and fulfill the federally mandated requirements to receive an airport identification credential as established in the airport security program. The director shall have the authority to limit the location, entrance, duration of time in the area, and the point of ingress and egress by any person or vehicle authorized to enter the restricted areas. The director may terminate any authorization upon a change of conditions affecting airport security.
Each person authorized access to the restricted area of the airport shall be issued identification in accordance with the federally approved airport security program.
(Ord. No. 2011-01-20-0048, § 1(Att. I), 1-20-11)
Sec. 3-160. - Development and implementation of security plans.
(a)
Each lessee of land and/or facilities at San Antonio International Airport having access to the AOA shall develop and implement security plans containing the following:
(1)
A drawing of the lease area, showing the footprint of the facility to include any doors, gates, or fencing to be used as deterrents to prevent unauthorized AOA access;
(2)
The location of each gate, opening, or other means of controlling access to the AOA;
(3)
Surveillance, locking systems, or other methods of preventing unauthorized movement through the access points, both during and after normal working hours;
(4)
Provision for escort or supervision on the AOA by a person displaying authorized identification, pursuant to section 3-159. Such identification shall be approved by the director as established in the federally approved airport security program.
(b)
Each plan shall be submitted to the director for review and approval no later than thirty (30) days after commencing a new operation on the airport. Plans shall be updated or modified by the lessees with any change in conditions affecting access to the AOA through or from the lease area. Security plans shall be kept on file in the office of the director.
(Ord. No. 2011-01-20-0048, § 1(Att. I), 1-20-11)
Sec. 3-161. - Aircraft security when necessary.
When, in the opinion of an aircraft owner, conditions become necessary to provide additional security at the location of the aircraft on the airport, the owner shall be responsible for obtaining, at no cost to the city, security guards or police officers after permission to establish such security has been obtained from the director or his/her designee. Furthermore, the owner shall be responsible for ensuring that security guards or police officers have, in their possession, aviation department approved identification while working in the restricted area of the airport, or are with an airport approved escort. Security measures shall not be used as a means to hinder or delay removal of aircraft nor to interfere with government, FAA, or airport staff in the proper disposition of the aircraft.
