Mexico City council authorizes one-year hangar lease, approves $140,125 boom-lift purchase and reappoints two airport board members
Summary
The Mexico City council approved a one-year hangar lease with Steve Hagan for Hangar 9, authorized purchase of a $140,125 boom lift for parks and recreation, and reappointed Jim Curtis and Jeff Frazier to the Mexico Airport Advisory Board for three-year terms.
The Mexico City council voted to approve a one-year hangar lease for Hangar 9 at the Mexico airport and authorized the city manager to sign the agreement with tenant Steve Hagan. City staff introduced the resolution, saying the airport maintains a waiting list in the city office and posts it at the airport. “This resolution would authorize the signing of a hangar lease between the city and Steve Hagan,” a staff member said. The lease term was listed as one year and the rent as $80 a month.
Council also approved a capital purchase for parks and recreation, voting to buy a two-person boom lift from Vermeer Southeast for $140,125. Parks staff said the purchase is budgeted and that the lift will be used for tree trimming, light-bulb replacement and other parks projects. “We did place advertisements in the ledger,” parks staff member Chad Hudrider said, adding the city received two bids. Hudrider said the city received a trade-in valuation of $11,000 for the current lift and estimated it could resell for $30,000–$40,000; staff recommended listing the existing lift for sale instead of accepting the trade-in.
On appointments, city staff reported that Jim Curtis and Jeff Frazier’s terms on the Mexico Airport Advisory Board were expiring and that both sought reappointment to three-year terms. Staff said both Curtis and Frazier reside within city limits, a requirement for appointment. A motion to reappoint both members passed by roll-call vote.
Council also approved routine items including the November minutes and payment of bills. The meeting included brief council comments and holiday well-wishes; public-comment procedures were announced (speakers asked to state name and address and were allotted time to speak). The council completed the agenda with unanimous roll-call confirmations recorded for the listed votes.
Next steps: The hangar lease is authorized for signature by the city manager; the boom lift purchase will proceed under the city’s procurement process and staff will list the old lift for sale.
