Airport manager flags changes to Modern Aviation lease draft; county to reopen talks
Summary
Airport Manager Leroy Muise told Hancock County commissioners that the draft lease with Modern Aviation contained language that differed from prior agreement and that the county will ask Modern Aviation to explain and negotiate revised terms; county counsel may be involved if needed.
Airport Manager Leroy Muise appeared by Zoom on June 16 to alert commissioners that the draft lease with Modern Aviation contained wording changes from the terms previously agreed by the parties. Muise said the document included insertions, removals and edits — including a discrepancy in the stated price per square foot — that the county found unacceptable.
Muise told the board he would return to Modern Aviation to seek clarification and attempt to resolve the differences in language; he also said the county would involve the county attorney if the parties cannot agree on acceptable lease terms. Commissioners did not vote on the lease at the meeting and directed staff to continue negotiations.
No further details about the proposed lease terms, the amount of affected rental space, or deadlines for resolution were included in the minutes.
