County Manager Cooper commented on the $ 3.7 million to be
funded by the County within a five-year period stating when the
Terminal Complex Project was formed it was originally assumed
tracts of land in the Industrial Airpark would be sold to pay for
the County's portion of the project. He stated it was apparent
that this land has not been highly sought after by industry at
the present time; consequently, the sale of the land could not be
counted on for funding. He questio~ed the sale of valuable land
that could be needed in the future by the Airport asking if the
land should be sold or leased stating this was a policy matter to
be addressed at a later date. He stated since the County was
entering into a less debt service period the Commissioners had
the capability of allocating funds to pay for the project through
a designated portion of the property taxes, or a bond issue
stating this was a bit premature but would have to be considered
at a future date by the Board.
Commissioner Blake expressed his concern for selling any
land at the Airport emphasizing the importance of this land for
future use.

Airport Commission and County Commissioners to address issues and

the date of this agreement, Lessee constructs a
new hangar together with the unamortized assets

may be amended to extend twenty (20) years
from the date of hangar occupancy.

per cent (1.5%) per month or fraction
thereof on any amounts that are past due
under this agreement.
5.5 Airport Ordinance. Lessee shall comply with the
