Saratoga County airport committee authorizes cleaning contract, approves 5-year lease renewal for Sunset at Saratoga

The Saratoga County Airport Improvement Committee on July 8 authorized a cleaning-services contract and approved a five-year lease renewal for the airport restaurant.

Chad, a county staff member, told the committee the cleaning contract would be a one-year agreement with three one-year renewal options with Healthy Solutions Property Services LLC, noting the firm had been on month-to-month and “was the lowest responsible bidder.” He said the first-year cost would be just over $3,000 per month and that the contract includes roughly a $100-per-month escalation for each renewal year.

The committee moved, seconded and approved the authorization by voice vote. The chair said the county “needs a cleaner” and committee members voiced satisfaction with the vendor’s performance.

On a separate motion, the committee approved a request from the restaurant operator Sunset at Saratoga to exercise a 5-year renewal of its lease effective Aug. 1. Chad said the New York State Liquor Authority had issued conditional approval of the restaurant’s liquor license but required “documentation that they had at least a 2 year lease on the property.” He said providing a board-authorized 5-year lease would satisfy the SLA condition.

Committee members who had visited the restaurant described positive reviews, and the motion to approve the lease renewal passed by voice vote. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.

The committee took no additional formal action on either item beyond the approvals; both items were presented as routine authorizations and were forwarded to the full board as part of county procedures.
