AIRPORT
Commissioner 0' Shields commented on the lease approved at
the previous meeting for a 5-year term stating Talbot Cox and
Associates, the planners for the Airport, have stated when the
new terminal is operational that FBO's should be located on the
other side of the field. He suggested, if Jetstream so desires,
at the termination of the 5-year lease, the County would be
willing to negotiate a new 20-year lease on the other side of the
field, if necessary.
Mr. W. Ed Samuels, President of Jetstream, gave background
information on the past 2 1/2 years in trying to comply and meet
requirements to become a Fixed Base Operator. He stressed the
importance of obtaining a 20-year lease in order to maintain
financial backing to develop the 23 acres.
Commissioner O'Shields expressed concern for the amount of
land involved and the separation of FBO operators and industrial
development. He recommended consideration of waiving the
requirement of investing $50,000 for a 5-year lease stating
the provision of services required in order to become a full
service operator would be adequate.
I
Mr. Samuels stated his company did not want to be just an
FBO; however, in order to perform other activities which require
the '~etl of fuel and to comply with the County Ordinance his
company had no other choice.
Commissioner O'Shields commented on the fact that this
Ordinance could be amended by the Board of Commissioners if
necessary in particular situations.
Commissioner Retchin commented on the fact that Jetstream
desired to be a light industrial industry and not necessarily a
fixed base operator stating this land was an ideal place for this
particular type of business suggesting the industrial issue
should be addressed.
Commissioner O'Shields suggested reviewing the current
policies and trying to work out a solution to accommodate the
particular needs of Jetstream.
I
After a lengthy discussion of development of the Industrial
Airpark and location of fixed base operators upon completion of
the Airport Terminal, Commissioner O'Shields MOVED, SECONDED by
Commissioner Retchin to grant a Fixed Base Operator Lease to

revisions made by the Ad Hoc Committee stressing- before adoption
of this ordinance, thought must be given to enforcement of the
code and how to deal with persons not being financially able to
repair housing to minimum standards.
Vice-Chairman Barfield commented on monies from federal and
state governments through the Community Development Block Grant
Program being funneled through agencies such as OAR recommending
use of these funds for minimum housing. He stated the County did
not have a housing rehabilitation program in the unincorporated
areas of the County. He also questioned the use the Community
Development Block Grant funds for the Sea Breeze Community asking
if these funds could be redirected to be used for housing
rehabilitation.
Planning Director Hayes stated that beginning March 1986
counties will be allowed to apply for county-wide projects such
as housing rehabilitation through the Community Development Block
Grant Program.
Commissioner O'Shields agreed with the concept of using all
funds available but emphasized the importance of having adequate
funds for enforcement without depending on federal and state
funding.
After a lengthy discussion of how to address the many issues
involved with enforcement of the Minimum Housing Code,
Commissioner O'Shields MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Retchin to
support the Minimum Housing Ordinance instructing the County

After further discussion, Tax Administrator Register
commented on revaluations every four years instead of eight years
