IDAHO FALLS, Idaho -- A number of amendments will be on the ballot this year and one of those is about your local airport.

The Idaho Legislature is asking Idahoans if city owned airports can take on debt without voter approval.

The amendment would allow airports to go into debt by issuing bonds for special projects as long as the money was paid back by revenue not generated from taxes.

Airports could use fees, federal grant money, or other airport charges.

I went to the Idaho Falls Regional Airport Monday to see if any visitors knew about the proposal. No one did.

To help you understand it a new website has been created on the topic.

The Association of Idaho Cities created HJR5facts.com.

The site addresses both sides of the issue, the legal background and economic impact the amendment would have.

While many Idahoans at the Idaho Falls Airport hadn't heard about the proposed amendment, they like the idea of a website to educate them.

"We’ve moved into the information age, surely so websites are where we get their information whether they're websites from traditional news media or new media,” Steve McCowen said.

But others still want the information in their hands.

"There’s an awful lot of people that don't have computers, too, and they need to know some other way,” Jim Westergard said.

If the constitutional amendment were to pass, the Idaho Falls Regional Airport would be able to build a parking garage, a new terminal or expand their current parking lot without a public vote if the growth deemed it necessary.

Right now if an airport wants to take on debt to make improvements or changes today they need a two-thirds majority vote to do it.

While the city could make improvements quicker, voters say they want to make sure the public's voice is heard before the city goes into debt.

"If it's owned by the city they need to have our approval yes,” Westergard said.

"The voters at large need to be informed at what the issue is before they end up in the voting booth,” McCowen said.

While McCowen hadn’t studied much about the proposed amendment he is weary about the city going into debt without the public’s approval.

"The city is owned by the people so the proposition to send the city to go into debt without consulting with to the stock holders of the city I think is a mistake,” McCowen said. “We've seen that on the national scale to the point where it’s become a national security risk that we are several times our GDP in debt right now and we don't want the cities to do the same thing without consulting the citizens who are the stock holders of that city,”

Over the next 20 years the Idaho Transportation Department says more than $700 million will be required to meet the infrastructure needs of Idaho’s airports.

ITD also says commercial airline traffic is expected to grow from about 2.6 million passengers in 2012 to four million in 2027.
