Airport board flags concerns in review of 'Through the Fence' lease
Summary
Board members reviewed a draft "Through the Fence" lease and recorded comments: fines acceptable, insurance requirements satisfactory, requests for visitor grace, a desire to spell out reasons more directly to avoid limiting future development, and a concern about a 30-year termination clause. No vote was recorded.
The Town of Twisp Airport Advisory Board reviewed a draft "Through the Fence" lease during its Sept. 23, 2025 meeting and provided several substantive comments for revisions. The minutes summarize the board's feedback: board members noted the proposed fine amount was "fine on amount as proposed," said they were "happy with insurance requirements," and suggested allowing a grace period for visiting aircraft.
Members also asked that the lease "spell out reasons more directly, don’t limit future development" and raised a specific operational concern: "Concern about 30 year that can just be terminated, secure hangar space instead before termination." The minutes record these points as collective board comments; there was no recorded motion or vote on the lease draft during the meeting, and the clerk noted the comments for further revision of the draft lease.
