REGULAR AGENDA
1) Strategic Planning Committee discussion and possible recommendation on General Aviation lease terms and conditions for t-shades and hangars.
Ms. Wiggins briefed the committee on the existing terms and conditions, previously addressed by the YCAA Board of Directors as well as this committee in July 2014, related to subletting of GA Hangars and Shaded Tie Downs including a discussion of the background and reasons for the established policies that forbid this practice. This discussion included an explanation of established amenities provided to GA customers including aircraft parking and other amenities at no cost.
After a brief discussion, the Committee decided it was in the best interest of the Airport and GA tenants to maintain the existing policy.
2) Strategic Planning Committee discussion and possible recommendation on the opportunities for private development to build general aviation aircraft storage hangars.
Ms. Wiggins provided the committee with an overview of the general aviation area and the current inquiries by current and future home based aircraft owners looking to upgrade their aircraft and their desire to build hangars. Current inquiries are related to hangar development for personal use but may include commercial sublease of hangars for recreational aircraft storage. The committee requested that if these pilots do in fact begin the official planning on these facilities that the airport staff works with legal for lease terms and conditions.
The Committee was comfortable with proposed development locations as presented. In regards to terms and conditions, airport staff was instructed to ensure that negotiated terms include “right of first refusal” language in the case of facility sale and strong lease assignment language. Further discussion directed staff to provide for terms up to 20 years in return for the initial investment of a minimum of $1M but not more than 25 years, regardless of the amount invested for this type of development. Additionally, the Committee asked that staff ensure location and facilities are compatible with aircraft, and inclusion of a clause to allow/require lease amendment if the property use changes from aircraft storage to commercial aviation activity.
3) Strategic Planning Committee discussion and possible recommendation on the lease terms for the Lindsey Parcel property.
Ms. Wiggins and Mr. Hinkle briefed the committee on the background and location of the parcel. The parcel is located within the object free and safety areas on the outside of the perimeter fence inside the approach of runway 08. This parcel was leased by the YCAA from the Linsey family in December of 1985 for thirty years with lease rent paid in a lump sum, in advance. The airport staff has requested a 6 month extension to work on possible options for the YCAA to consider. The committee requested and directed the airport staff to assess the current property value/cost if available for sale, discuss possible lease renewal terms as well as the implications of taking no action. Staff has initiated a short term lease extension of six (6) months with the property owner in order to provide time to assess the situation. The airport staff anticipates providing these items in the January or February board meetings after the committee is briefed of the findings.
4) Strategic Planning Committee discussion and possible recommendation on amendments requiring another 5-year extension for the various leased properties and easements between the Airport Authority and MCAS Yuma.
Ms. Wiggins provided a brief overview on several MCAS Lease and Easements with the YCAA set to expire in July of 2016. The committee directed staff to continue working with the MCAS Yuma to prepare the necessary paperwork for the YCAA’s approval.
