Summary

Manager Russ Cornenia proposed a $75/4-hour rental for the pilots lounge for off-airport users unless they meet a minimum fuel purchase; tenants are exempt. He also plans to convert a cleared 113 sq. ft. back room into rentable space but must add a separate access door and will seek quotes and building-department guidance.

Airport Manager Russ Cornenia proposed formal rental terms for the pilots lounge to clarify usage and potential revenue.

Cornenia said off-airport parties would be charged $75 for four hours unless they meet a minimum fuel purchase (50 gallons Jet-A or 20 gallons Avgas within the four-hour timeframe). Airport tenants and their employees would not be charged. Cornenia said he will prepare written rental terms for the commission to review at the next meeting.

Separately, Cornenia described a cleared 113-square-foot back room in the administration building that could be repurposed for office rental once a separate access door is added. He has ordered carpet tiles and baseboard and will contact the City Building Department for permitting and a labor/materials quote.
