DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Airport users with portable hangars must enter into a lease agreement with the County for the use of Airport property in accordance with Ordinance Code § 3.08.021. The lease agreement includes language required by the Federal Aviation Administration and the County.
The proposed agreement is a new Land Lease with Barry and Jeanne Bergman, upon which a 1,086 square foot privately-owned portable aircraft storage hangar will be utilized. The initial term of the Lease is ten years; the Lessee has the right to extend the term for two additional ten-year lease options under such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon at such time.
In accordance with the County’s Ordinance Code Title 18, Airports, Chapter 18.04, Section 18.04.100, Fees and Charges, fees for airport ground leases are set by a Board-adopted Resolution; therefore, lease fees are not negotiated. Current Airport fees were approved by the Board on May 3, 2016 (Item 31) under Resolution 079-2016. The current rate for land leases of this type is set at $1,068 per year. The proposed Land Lease provides for annual adjustment of this amount if the Board adopts different rates in the future.
