MATTHEWS, Justice.

The Ketchikan Gateway Borough operates a seaplane float on Gravina Island at which seaplanes may dock in order to load and unload passengers. It charges a $2.00 flat fee each time a seaplane uses the facility. The Borough also operates Ketchikan International Airport on Gravina Island. It charges various landing fees for aircraft in excess of 6,000 pounds but allows aircraft lighter than 6,000 pounds to land without charge.
