Board moves to standardize hangar lease fees after billing confusion
Summary
Board discussed lease billing procedures and directed staff to standardize lease fees using the airport fee schedule and CPI adjustments; new leases will be calculated from footprint square footage and the updated schedule will be implemented when ready.
The chair raised questions about lease billings that went out this month and the board discussed how charges per square foot are calculated. Staff explained that county finance currently issues lump billings and that airport staff will request a breakdown before bills are sent. For new leases, staff said they will calculate charges using the airport fee schedule and apply government CPI increases to set per-square-foot rates.
The director said the airport will update its fee schedule and standardize rates so tenants are charged consistently; implementation was discussed for next year or as soon thereafter as the schedule can be revised. "As we do new leases, that's the way that they will be done," the director said, and the board asked staff to present a scope for a utility/infrastructure study at a future meeting.
