Board sets new monthly rent for upgraded hangar C4 at $225, pending council adoption
Summary
With tenant Steve Hupp departing, the board voted to set monthly rent for the fully finished hangar C4 at $225, higher than other hangars because C4 is insulated and finished; the change requires city‑council approval and is expected to take effect April 1.
Airport manager reported Hangar C4 will become available after Steve Hupp sold his airplane and vacated the space by the end of the month. The manager recommended raising the monthly rent for C4 to $225, citing that C4 is finished interiorly (walls to the ceiling, partial insulation) and commands a higher market price than the other, less‑finished hangars.
Board members discussed precedent and fairness for other hangars, but several noted C4’s superior finishes and local market comparisons. "This one's walls all the way to the ceiling ... it's totally different hanger from the rest of them," the airport manager said when describing C4’s condition.
A motion to set the hangar C4 rent at $225 per month was moved and seconded; the board approved the motion by roll-call. The manager said city-council adoption is required and that the board expects the rent change to take effect around April 1 after the council process.
The board also discussed whether to start at $225 and lower the price later if needed; members agreed starting at that level was prudent given the hangar improvements.
